The Meadows Race 6

Sportsbet Final (1-6 Wins)

Stake: $12,761

STEAL THE STAGE (8) is generally an honest type in the frame at five of 14 starts but missed the placings last time when sixth (25.65) over 450m at Shepparton. Has a good record here including three wins. Boxed wide but will go close with the right run. LEKTRA SKIP (1) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Finished in the minors last time when second (34.67) at Sandown making it back to back placings. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Will give a great sight again. BORACAY BELLA (7) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and three minors. In the money last time at this track (34.53) in a Restricted WIN H, finishing a 3 length second. Looks a key chance on best figures. ASTON MACHINE (5) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Safely held last time over 600m at this track but was a 2.5 lengths winner two back over 515m at Sandown. Coming out of a very strong form race. Can feature with the right run.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (34.60) over 600m at this track. Among the chances and worth following up.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 3 length second but did record a slick 34.53 over the 600m trip. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 600m. Last start finished 6th in a Restricted WIN H on September 28 over 450m at Shepparton behind Just Breathe beaten 7 lengths (25.65). Has an outstanding 34.33 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
