The Meadows Race 11 - Sportsbet Ht3
LOCHINVAR THOR (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.61) in a Grade 5 at this track. Can bounce back. HOLMES (4) continued his winning form with another strong run after leading to make it two on the bounce at Sandown over 515m (29.68). Won at his only start from this box. In great recent form and expected to measure up again. THORKILDSEN (5) goes very well this trip starting 14 times for five wins and two minors. Scored by 1.75 lengths last time (26.26) in a Grade 5 over 460m at Warragul. Can feature with the right run. BABY BEETS (7) is new to this course but can play a major role.

Was out of placings last time (30.61) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a key chance on best form.

Turned in another winning performance after leading to make it two on the trot at Sandown over 515m (29.68). Rates a leading player on recent form and will go close again.

Hit the frame last time at Bendigo but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 5 lengths in a Grade 5 H at Bendigo and recording a fast 28.24 over the 500m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Good effort to win last start by 5.5 lengths over 515m at Sandown in a handy (29.65), beating Mother Georgia. Will find this a bit tougher, can't make much of a case this time.
