The Meadows Race 6

Gorski Truck And Trailer

Prize Money: $9,055

GENERAL FRANKY (1) was sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.75 lengths second (29.50) over 515m at Sandown. Comes through a solid form race last start. One of the leading chances. DRAMATICAL (4) boasts a strong record this course with three wins and two minors from seven tries. Below best last time at Sandown (30.18) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 14 length fifth. Among the main chances. ELITE ONE (2) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish one length back in second (34.81) at Sandown in a Grade 4/5 over 595m. Expected to be in this for a long way. HOT NANU (5) has to be respected despite coming off a five-and-a-half weeks break.

Latest effort finished 5th over 515m at Sandown beaten 14 lengths (30.18) behind On The Prowl in a Mix 3/4 on October 8. Has run hot time here with a 29.57 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on September 10 over 515m at Sandown behind Lindenow Buster beaten 6 lengths (29.81) in a Mix 3/4. Placed two back at Sandown. Looks a solid contender.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 525m in 30.12 last start, beating Spiralling. Among the chances and worth following up.
