The Meadows Race 10 - Grv Vicbred Series Ht2
INDY MELMEN (2) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fourth (28.65) at Bendigo over 500m. Has ability and looks hard to stop. MY MATE LEO (5) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (30.15) in a Grade 5 FIN at Sandown latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to do much better this time. MEPUNGA SHADOW (8) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing sixth (30.32) at this track last time. Should be about the money. SOCIALISM (7) will need to repeat last run to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (28.35) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5 length sixth. Placed at all two starts from this draw. Looking to others.

Lines up from box 2 for the first time after finishing a 9 length fourth at Bendigo (28.65) in a Restricted WIN H. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Missed the frame latest (22.67) when fourth over 390m at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Will need some luck to feature.

Latest effort finished 6th on May 7 over 515m at Sandown behind Ash Intention beaten 6 lengths (30.15) in a Grade 5 FIN. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by half a length over 525m at this track in a handy 30.75, beating Paw Harry. Solid showing expected.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (34.67) over 595m at Sandown. Tough draw to overcome and will need the breaks to go his way.
