The Meadows Race 5 - Great Chase Semi Final 1 (1-5 Wins)
STAR NOTE (1) finished second last start over 500m at Bendigo but was game in defeat in a quick 27.86. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. ERASE AND REWIND (3) recorded her 6th career win last time out (28.51) at Sale and drawn box 3 for the first time here. Strike rate this distance strong having won four of seven tries. Has definite claims. BLUE POOLS (2) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (29.02) at Sale in a Restricted WIN H. Has first look at box 2 this time. Can measure up. IMPRINT (4) will need to run right up to last start to feature again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 0.6 lengths second (27.86) over 500m at Bendigo and making it two placings on end. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Strong performance to win by at Ballarat over 450m (25.48) beating Blackpool Winter in Grade 5 on October 7. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Backs up after winning easily by 4 lengths at Sale (28.76) beating Blue Pools in a Restricted WIN H on October 4 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.
