The Meadows Race 4 - Sportsbet Ht2 (1-6 Wins)
IN MODERATION (1) was below best last time when seventh at Sandown but prior to that among the placings in quick time (34.50) at Sandown. Likely to improve sharply this time. KIWI BIRCHIP (4) steps up 85m in distance at his first attempt over the longer trip. Goes well from this draw despite never having won. Looks suited here and can measure up. COBBLE HILL (6) was rewarded for his honesty after two minors on end with a deserved win last time, scoring at Ballarat over 545m (30.80). Has a strong record from this draw, notching two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Significant danger. XARA'S JAI (7) should be thereabouts.

Was out of placings last time (34.99) at Sandown in a R/A FIN, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Expected to go close.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (38.20) over 660m at Bendigo. Drawn close to the inside. Prefer others.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Ballarat over 545m in 30.80 last start, beating Lektra Skip. Excellent record from this draw, including two wins. In the mix.

Won two starts back at Sandown over 595m in 34.38. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 595m at Sandown at R/A FIN level. Has ability and worth including.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 460m at Warragul. Hard to recommend this time.
