The Meadows Race 5

Gorski Tippers Melbourne

Prize Money: $3,340

XARA NAVY (7) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by one length at this track in a handy 30.23 beating Petali. Wide box to overcome but in form and has the ability. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Great chance again. RICH GAIRN (2) stalked the lead from a middle box before hitting the front turning and lifting to score (30.57) at this track in a Maiden over 525m. Leading chance again. KIWI EDDIE (8) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (31.82), beaten 6 lengths. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. MANILA PANDA (1) can sneak into the finish.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won easily by 4 lengths at this track (34.81) beating Full Bore Lisa in a Restricted WIN on July 8. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 15 length sixth over 515m at Sandown. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a T3 RSTW on July 18 over 545m at Ballarat behind Aeroplane Ruby beaten 6 lengths (31.82). Placed two back at this track. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
