The Meadows Race 3

Shepparton To The Meadows Final (1-4 W)

Prize Money: $9,055

STEAL THE STAGE (2) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around this track in 29.71 to score two back then following on with a 25.10 win over 450m at Shepparton. Smart win two back and looks a key chance here. HIGHLY POTENT (8) jumped cleanly from the rails to lead much the way when second (25.23) at Shepparton in a Restricted WIN H over 450m. Bold showing expected. ABSOLUTE RUPEE (1) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at Shepparton in a handy 25.32 beating KRIS BAR IMOGEN. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Likely to be in the finish. INDIAN PRINCE (3) is always a threat when he races at this track and distance.

Recorded a neck win (25.32) in a Restricted WIN H last time at Shepparton. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Could only manage third last time out over 450m at Shepparton, breaking a winning sequence. Prefer in something easier.

Was a winner three back at Shepparton then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fourth (25.46) at Shepparton. Has ability but this tough and will need some luck to feature.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 450m at Shepparton beaten a neck (25.34) behind Absolute Rupee in a Restricted WIN H on June 22. Happy to risk this time.
