The Meadows Race 9 - We Stand With Tasmania (1-2 Wins) (275+)
MAXI GRIN (2) rocketed out of the boxes with a sizzling early split and led throughout to score when a 11 length winner (25.91) over 460m at Geelong. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Well placed and can measure up. TASTE (7) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Ballarat behind Grapefruit Racer (25.71) in a Mix 6/7. Has the pace to be prominent. Can measure up. TRANSPONDING (1) was a last start winner (19.59) at Healesville in a Grade 7 and will jump from box 1 for the first time. Should feature again. NARINGAL BOY (5) cannot be left out despite racing over this journey for the first time.

Impressive performance to post a big 11 lengths win at Geelong over 460m (25.91) beating Aussie Mirage in Maiden on March 10. Looks the one to beat again.

Won two starts back at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.83. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 450m at Warrnambool at Bottom Up - Restricted Win level. Coming out of a very strong form race. Can feature with the right run.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (25.71) at Ballarat over 450m. Forward showing expected.

Did a good job on debut at Geelong to win by 3 lengths in 22.65, beating Rocket Roxy. Last start finished last over 460m at Geelong beaten 13 lengths (27.02) behind Deep Thinker in a Mix 6/7 on February 27. Likely to find this a bit tough.
