The Meadows Race 11 - Melbournegreyhounds.org.au
ASSASSINATOR (4) has a strong overall record having four wins and five places from 13 starts but was out of the money last time when fifth (30.86) over 525m at this track. Looks the testing material here. LOCHINVAR THOR (6) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at Bendigo over 425m behind Canya Talk Now (24.42) in a R/A FIN. Was in the money prior to that. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SOLAR SPECTRUM (2) comes off a fast 25.33 placing at Shepparton over 450m. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. PAW VARNA (8) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 525m at this track in a handy (30.73), beating Lush Hour. Will find this a bit tougher, better off looking to others.

Finished in the minors last time in a Mix 3/4 at Shepparton when a one length second but did run a solid 25.33 over the 450m trip. Among the each way chances if runs up to latest.

Missed the frame latest (30.19) when fourth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Has two minors from three starts from box 3. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (28.65) at Sale over 510m. Has been around the mark last couple and should make her presence felt.
