The Meadows Race 5 - Gorski Hardox Truck Bodies
PAW CARVER (1) was quickly out of the tricky draw with a fast early sectional and clocked 29.67 with a half a length win at Sandown over 515m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Looks the testing material. ZIPPING ANDORA (2) could manage only sixth at Mt Gambier last time but turned heads when clocking a dazzling 29.33 over 512m at Mt Gambier the start prior. Top win two back and rates a key player again. PAW TORONTO (7) was out of the placings last time when seventh at this track (30.52) but scored three back at this track (29.89). Form here at the trip sound including six wins. Expected to run well. ZIPPING COLUMBUS (6) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.
