The Meadows Race 6 - Di Battista Real Estate
TOMMY SPARKLE (8) was prominent throughout when an impressive winner two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 4th and beaten 10 lengths at Sandown (30.49). Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Can bounce back. QUEEN AVENGER (1) box seated before sticking on well to finish 1.75 lengths away in second (30.23) at this track in a Mix 3/4 over 525m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Can feature again. SHAKE IT OFF (4) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (30.23) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning nine races. Expected to feature again. KURNAI BOLT (7) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Finished fifth last time but the start prior was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong and clocking an excellent 25.65 for the 460m trip. Worth including on winning run two back.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 30.23 over 525m at this track. Has run blistering time here with a 29.86 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Hit the frame latest (25.17) when third at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 6 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at Healesville three back. Capable and may well bounce back this time.
