The Meadows Race 8 - Sportsbet (1-6 Wins) Ht2
BORACAY BELLA (2) has a strong record this trip with five wins and three placings from 10 starts. Below best last time at Sandown (29.90) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 8 length fourth. Looks suited and should go close. STEAL THE STAGE (1) flew the lids with a sensational early split and hit the frame with a 5.5 lengths second (30.89) over 530m at Angle Park. The form out of last race has been strong. Expecting another good run. FLYING ROGUE (6) held her own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only one length (34.78) behind Atticus at Sandown. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to be in this for a long way. ASTON MACHINE (3) scored by 2.5 lengths last time (29.76) in a Grade 5 over 515m at Sandown. Has already won two times from this draw.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only second (30.89) at Angle Park over 530m. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.
