The Meadows Race 12 - Maturity Classic Ht8
CANYA EXCITE ME (8) is a well performed dog and winner of 13 races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at Bendigo (23.96). Tough to beat if on-song. EVENTUATE (1) is racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (30.31) over 525m at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Hard to beat again. BLINK AND MISS (3) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a win (29.72) there two back. Won at his only start from this box. Can measure up this time. WINSOME RAMBO (5) was below best last time at Q Parklands (30.45) in a OPEN, finishing a 10 length eighth. Has already won out of this draw.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (30.31) over 525m at this track. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 515m at Sandown in a handy (29.71), beating Paw Isla. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.
