The Meadows Race 4 - Sportsbet Hume Cup Ht2
BLUE STORM (1) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only one length (34.08) behind Keen On Kev at Sandown. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature in the finish again. HOUSE OF SINS (2) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his dynamic win a few runs back, getting around Bendigo over 660m in 37.68. Must include on winning run three back. MEPUNGA ZIRCON (8) has a strong record this journey here with three wins and a minor from four starts. Scored by 2.75 lengths last time (29.22) in a Grade 5 over 515m at Sandown. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. STEAL THE STAGE (6) will need to find best form to compete.

Won two starts back over 600m at this track. Last start he finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on October 26 over 595m at Sandown behind Keen On Kev beaten one length (34.08). Draw likely to suit. Has an outstanding 34.38 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning six on end before placing two back. Better than last run and looks set to run well.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at this track. Happy to risk in this.
