The Meadows Race 5 - Sportsbet Hume Cup Ht3
MEPUNGA DONNA (3) is a promising dog in the frame at 23 of 56 starts including 14 wins and was a last start winner (41.71) over 715m at Sandown. Form here is sound including eight wins. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. ESPOIR (7) has a terrific record this track and trip with four wins and one placing from five starts. Placed last time (34.35) at Sandown in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 2.75 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 1.4 lengths third over 515m at Sandown, clocking 29.71. Boxed on well last time to hit the frame. Rates highly again.
