The Meadows Race 6 - Great Chase Semi Final 2 (1-5 Wins)
MEPUNGA TURBO (3) ran a lightning 29.12 two back at Sandown then followed up with another win last time scoring in 29.34. Looks the one to beat on recent form. XARA'S LEON (1) was a (29.51) winner last time out at Sandown from Box 1. Form from his last run is proving strong. Sure to measure up. HUGO ROSE (2) was spotting a start early but made a sustained run to score a one length win (29.64) at Sandown in Restricted WIN H. Missed the frame only look here. Comes out of a solid form race last start. One of the leading chances again. SURGE (5) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Won two starts back at Sandown over 515m in 29.79. Followed that up with a minor placing over 515m at Sandown at Restricted WIN H a week-and-a-half ago. Broke a two-start winning streak with the minor placing last time. Can bounce back.
