The Meadows Race 12 - Sportsbet Green Tick
ILLUMINATOR (5) caught the eye when clocking a powerful 29.43 over 515m at Sandown. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. BOLD SIGHT (3) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from six starts. In the money last time at this track (30.32) in a Grade 5, finishing a half a length second. Looks suited here and can measure up. PAW QUANTUM (2) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish a neck back in second (23.34) at Horsham in a R/A FIN over 410m. Leading chance. BELFAST SPOT (1) has strong credentials from this draw.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 6 lengths at Sandown (29.43) beating Nosey Bluey in a Grade 5 on April 16. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 450m in 25.52. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when eighth over 450m at Warrnambool at Grade 5 level. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.46) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a place chance at best.
