The Meadows Race 12 - Home Of The Phoenix
COMPTON GYPSY (4) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (29.97) from Box 1 at Sandown over 515m. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from five starts. Better than last start and worth following up. GALLEYWOOD (3) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 6th and beaten 10 lengths at Sandown (30.40). Expected to run well. SOLAR SPECTRUM (7) was below best at his last start when 7th at Shepparton following a second place finish (30.40) at this track two back. Should be in this for a long way. REV IAN (1) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing third (30.63) at this track. Drops down the inside box this time. Cannot be ruled out.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished eighth over 425m at Bendigo, beaten 11 lengths (24.49) behind Ritza Old Mate in a Grade 5 on October 20. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.40) in a Mix 6/7 FIN, finishing a 10 length sixth. Placed at all two starts from this draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.
