The Meadows Race 4 - Home Of The Phoenix

SCARY STORM (3) was in the minors two back (30.18) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. XARA OCTAVE (2) was an effortless winner two back scoring by 2.25 lengths but could manage only midfield last time when finished 4th and beaten 11 lengths at this track (30.46). In the mix. SAINT BERNARDO (8) was speedy out of box 4 on debut to score by 4 lengths (30.23) at this track over 525m. Drawn wide but has good early pace. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. EDINBURGH BALE (1) can find the frame without surprising.

Latest effort finished 6th over 525m at this track beaten 10 lengths (30.82) behind Sunny Lyn in a Mix 6/7 H on September 9. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had three placings in a row. Deserves another chance.

Did a good job two starts back at Warragul to win by 0.9 lengths in 22.90, beating Troublesome. Last start finished last on September 2 over 450m at Ballarat behind Tin Lids beaten 9 lengths (26.08) in a Restricted WIN. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
