The Meadows Race 5 - Sportsbet More Places

CANYA TALK NOW (6) struggled to get involved last start after settling off pace at Sandown, but prior to that won easily by 5.5 lengths at Shepparton (24.89) beating Blazing Turbo in a Grade 5 on August 17. Rates on top in this line up. MEPUNGA RULE (4) missed the frame last time, finishing 8th (35.59) last time in a R/A FIN at this track. Has won here at this journey. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. GAMORA BALE (1) comes off a (23.21) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 410m at Horsham. Unbeaten in two runs from this draw. Can hit the frame with the right run. MAXI GRIN (2) is one of the chances after a minor prize at this track and distance last time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Shepparton over 450m. Last start finished 7th over 515m at Sandown beaten 4.5 lengths (30.08) behind He's Magic in a Grade 4/5 on August 29. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
