The Meadows Race 8

Ron Hawkswell Cup Final

Prize Money: $22,000

LATE NIGHT NEWS (1) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths (43.06) behind WERRIS BALE at this track. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and three minor placings from six starts. Likely to feature again. PASS MARK (4) skirted wide from an outside draw last start and found the front, leading throughout to win (42.79) at this track in a Special conditions H over 730m. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Sure to measure up. WERRIS BALE (8) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from four starts. Recorded a one length win (42.93) in a Special conditions H last time at this track. Looks suited here and can measure up. ALAKAZAM (7) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a one length winner (42.93) over 730m at this track. Was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.
