The Meadows Race 7

Sportsbet Ht3

Prize Money: $3,340

CHAMPLAIN (1) ran below best last time finishing fifth (34.29) over 595m at Sandown from Box 6. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Has ability and is a key runner. SCOTT SIGMA (5) could not have been more impressive last start in her scintillating 27.86 win at Bendigo over 500m. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. OBSCURUS (6) is worth forgiving last start after finishing eighth (30.49) from Box 4 at Sandown over 515m. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. MY LONG BLACK (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (34.29) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Strong record off the draw with three wins and three minors from seven starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Won at this track over 525m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 525m at this track. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Didn't make the placings last time at Horsham (27.60) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 4 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from 10 starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 8 length sixth over 450m at Ballarat. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Has won three in a row. Good effort to score just five days ago over 500m at Bendigo by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.
