The Meadows Race 8 - Sportsbet Hume Cup Ht6
COBBLE HILL (4) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 34.39 beating Kiwi Birchip. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Great chance again. WHISKEY WHISKERS (6) flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 2.25 lengths over 715m at Sandown (41.73). Solid formlines coming through his last run. Should feature again. FLAT OUT FREDDY (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (32.00) at Maitland. Returns to favourable track. The form out of last race has been strong. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. VICTORY BARRY (2) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to atone.

Didn't make the placings last time at Maitland (32.00) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth. Has one win and two placings from five starts from the draw. Expected to be in the finish.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 3 lengths at this track (34.60) beating Xara Navy in a Restricted WIN H on October 21. Capable of taking this out.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 600m at Mt Gambier in a handy (35.24), beating Belair Brindle. Will find this a bit tougher, doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
