The Meadows Race 11

Gorski Tippers Aus Wide

Prize Money: $8,785

DEWANA HALF TAIL (3) missed the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 515m at Sandown in 29.57. Smart win two back and looks a key chance here. FEAR THE BEER (1) hit the frame last time at Ballarat but the start prior rocketed around 400m at Geelong in 22.36. Should be in this for a long way. DEWANA MISSILE (2) was well in the market last time but only managed seventh (31.32), beaten 12 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Should be in this for a long way. ASSASSINATOR (8) won last start after racing on the pace. Sure to run well again.

Good effort to win last start by 4.5 lengths over 450m at Ballarat in a handy (25.33), beating Brindle Mosaic. Will find this a bit tougher, others have better credentials.

Surprised two starts back at Sandown to win by 2.25 lengths in 30.12, beating Sir Silvertree. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 FIN on July 30 over 515m at Sandown behind Sir Silvertree beaten 8 lengths (30.25). The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.
