The Meadows Race 5 - Sportsbet Ht3
DUSTIN (5) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (25.39) over 450m at Ballarat in a R/A FIN. Has never missed the frame here from three starts. Comes out of a hot form race last start. Has ability and looks hard to stop. MYSTERIOUS (4) ran below best last time finishing sixth (35.97) over 600m at this track in a Restricted WIN H. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has ability and can atone. LITTLE RAT (1) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at this track over 525m behind Happy Dad (30.89) in a Mix 6/7. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Can measure up this time. TARBHACH (7) is worth including.

Missed the frame latest (30.89) when sixth over 525m at this track in a Mix 6/7. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks well placed and should feature.
