The Meadows Race 9

Gorski Truck & Trailer

Stake: $4,262

IN THE HUB (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with six wins and two minors from 11 tries. Below best last time at Shepparton (25.79) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 9 length eighth. Looks the one to beat with even luck. NATALIE BALE (4) is an honest type who is lining up for her first start here. Comes into this after an impressive win last time scoring by 4.5 lengths at Geelong (25.57). Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. In top form and looks a key chance again. GOT A PULSE (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (34.55) at Sandown behind Aston Michigan in a Grade 5. Led around the bend before fighting on well and should give a sight. Boasts a strong record from this draw with four wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Expected to be in this for a long way. TOKYO HEIST (2) is one to consider despite coming off a brief layoff.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a 1.3 lengths second at Sandown over 595m in 34.55. Solid chance with even luck.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sale over 435m. Last start finished last over 450m at Shepparton beaten 9 lengths (25.79) behind Kraken Whisky in a Special conditions H on March 17. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has finished sixth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Bendigo over 500m. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
