The Meadows Race 8

Gorski Hardox Truck Bodies

Stake: $5,334

TAW MAJOR (1) Came in 2nd last start at Ballarat and drawn well. Very competitive this campaign. Looks a winning hope. HURRICANE (3) Did well when 2nd last start at Sandown Park. Has been a model of consistency since coming back from a break. Have to respect the recent Brooke Ennis form. Suited. NIGEL DEVERE (8) Lost ground in the run home when 6th last time at Ballarat. Capable of bouncing back and has a positive draw. Displaying good ability this preparation. Can get the job done. MAGIC LOKI (7) Failed to threaten last run at this track. Likely to bounce back and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has early speed and positions nicely. Betting may be best guide to the chances and each way is the likely play.

Jumped at $11.00 and sub-standard effort when 6th last run at this track. Will be trying to topple them late. Place claims at best.

Unsighted last run around here. Likely to bounce back and form has been improving over recent runs. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Winning chance at nice odds.

Was $2.60 and didn't find the line when 6th last time at Ballarat. Capable of bouncing back and will try to take advantage of the draw. Competitive type.
