The Meadows Race 7 - Sportsbet Ht1 (1-6 Wins)
LAMIA TAYA (8) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in her swift 34.43 win at this track over 600m. Expected to push the clock again here. HECTOR DARCY (3) failed to come into contention last start at Sandown, but prior to that won easily by 4.5 lengths at this track (34.69) beating REV IAN in a Grade 4/5 on April 22. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Great chance to atone. ZAP DEVERE (1) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fifth wasn't far away finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner (34.79). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Great chance to atone. WYONG HOUSTON (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Missed the frame latest (34.79) when fifth over 595m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from eight starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Hit the frame latest (31.01) when third at Ballarat in a Restricted WIN. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Suited here and expected to run well.
