The Meadows Race 8 - Hector Fawley At Stud
ILLUMINATOR (3) brought up his 7th career win last start at this track (30.18). Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Hard to go past. PAW IMPERIAL (2) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (29.95) at Sandown in a Grade 5. Can find the frame this time. REUBEN HILL (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (31.04) at Ballarat behind Overland Boy in a Grade 4/5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expected to be in this for a long way. AUNTY FAYE (4) can run a bold race on best form.

Improved sharply when second behind Overland Boy at Ballarat last start over 545m (31.04). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 2.75 lengths at this track (30.42) beating Paw Geldoff in a Grade 5 on May 13. Is a danger.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 460m at Warragul. That followed a win two back in 27.34 beating Paw Lampades over 485m at Horsham. Prepared to risk.
