The Meadows Race 5 - We Stand With Tasmania
INDY MELMEN (6) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (29.40) at Sandown in a Mix 6/7 over 515m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Looks to have an edge on most of these. MAXI GRIN (8) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from five starts. Below best last time at this track (30.56) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 9 length fifth. Can feature in the finish. LUSH HOUR (4) has a strong record this trip including four wins from seven starts. Comes off a (29.79) win last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Grade 5 over 515m at Sandown. Among the main chances. LADY RAPID (2) was a last-start winner at big odds and is in the mix again.

Did a good job two starts back at Healesville to win by half a length in 19.45, beating Heathcote Rupee. Last start finished last on April 26 over 350m at Healesville behind Especial Kai beaten 5 lengths (19.21) in a Mix 3/4. Likely to find this too tough.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 515m at Sandown in a handy (29.72), beating Elijah Rose. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.
