The Meadows Race 8 - Sportsbet Ht2 (1-6 Wins)
LAMIA TAYA (3) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 5 lengths into second (34.88) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 600m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Must come into calculations. SCOTCH TIME (1) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fifth (43.68) at this track latest. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of four starts. Bold showing expected. HECTOR DARCY (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (35.56) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Won at his only start from this box. One of the better chances. LES NORTON (2) is a last start winner worth following up.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (34.88) at this track over 600m. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Did a good job two starts back at Horsham to win by a neck in 27.69, beating Dynamite Eric. Last start finished 4th on April 1 over 545m at Ballarat behind Make Them Cry beaten 2.75 lengths (31.26) in a Grade 5. Hard to tip with any confidence.
