The Meadows Race 8

Gorski Australian Made Tippers

Stake: $9,779

WHERE'S POPPY (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.06) at this track behind Werris Bale in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form from her last run stacks up well. Capable of going well again. TANNER BALE (1) could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his blistering 22.37 win at Geelong over 400m then has finished in the placings in both runs since. Must include on winning run three back. SHE'S WIRED (4) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 29.93 beating Gremlin. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can make it back-to-back wins. WREN BALE (7) is worth including.

In the money last time at this track (30.30) in a Grade 4, finishing a 1.3 lengths second. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Latest effort finished 7th over 600m at this track beaten 6 lengths (35.21) behind Paw Quinby in a Grade 4/5 on June 7. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Hit the frame latest (30.06) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Looks a leading chance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 525m in 29.93 last start, beating Gremlin. The last win was in one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.30) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from five starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.
