The Meadows Race 2

Gorski Truck And Trailer

Prize Money: $3,340

XARA'S LEON (6) hit the frame last time at this track but just a few starts ago ran blistering time when scoring over 525m at this track in 29.81. Smart win three back and looks a key chance here. JETTY JUMPER (8) has a strong record here with two wins and a minor from six starts. Scored by one length last time (19.44) in a Mix 6/7 FIN over 350m at Healesville. Looks a key chance on best figures. MANDOLIN STORM (1) finished seventh last time at this track but could not have been more impressive before that in her solid 25.33 win at Ballarat over 450m. Must include on winning run two back. ROMANI ROAD (2) deserves plenty of thought at her first run at this circuit.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at Ballarat (25.33) beating Brindle Mosaic in a Grade 5 on August 1. Major threat on best form.

Hit the frame at Bendigo last time when a 3.5 lengths third but did record a solid 28.22 over the 500m trip. Harder here and one for the multiples.

Was a winner three back at Sandown then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when sixth (30.68) at this track. Has ability but will need the right run to feature here.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (30.74) at this track in a Grade 5 H. Has first look at box 6 this time. Looks suited and should go close.

Turned in another winning performance recording back-to-back wins at Healesville over 350m (19.44). Looks a key chance on recent form.
