The Meadows Race 8

Gorski Truck And Trailer

Stake: $11,138

LIKE A ROCK (6) Average performance when 8th last time at Angle Park. Is capable of a resurgence. Has plenty of early speed. Going well this campaign. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. PAW GERTRUDE (3) Came in 4th last run at Bendigo. Is capable of a resurgence. In fine form since coming back from a spell. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . HOT NANU (7) Was ordinary when 7th last run at this track. In a purple patch of form since coming back from a break. Good chance of threatening these. PAW ORENTHAL (1) Displayed potential when winning last run at Bendigo and gets a favourable draw. Won last 2 in succession. Won't be far away during the run. Better claims.

Comments

Left nothing to chance when winning last run at Bendigo and can save some energy from the box. Made it 2 wins on the bounce. Should be going forward early. Value selection.

Was $19.00 and well beaten when 7th last start at Sandown Park. Should muster plenty of early speed. Needs significant improvement.

Started $3.60 and came in 4th last run at Bendigo. Is capable of a resurgence. Has run into the money multiple times this campaign. Chance and can measure up.

Odds of $8.00 and below standard effort when 7th last start at Sandown Park. Shows very good closing speed. Place hope.

At $5.50 fairly underwhelming when 7th last run at the track. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a break. Looks good for a place at least.
