The Meadows Race 5 - Slick Splits At Stud

RETALIATION (8) ran below his best last time finishing fifth (30.33) over 525m at this track in a Special conditions H. Can make amends. ROSS THE BOSS (7) boasts a strong record this course with four wins and two minors from 12 tries. Scored by 1.3 lengths last time (29.70) in a OPEN over 520m at Q Parklands. Looks one of the chances. BLACK STAR RIOT (3) is a consistent dog overall, in the frame at six of 18 starts including seven wins but missed the frame latest when fifth (30.56) over 525m at this track. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. SPARRING (6) hit the frame here last time and looks a chance again.

Backs up quickly after winning by 2.75 lengths at Ballarat (25.23) beating Paw Gusto in a Grade 5 on July 22 three days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split and led until late but gathered in when a 0.6 lengths third at this track over 525m in 29.92. Looks a solid hope.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3 length fifth (30.33) over 525m at this track. Key chance on best form.
