The Meadows Race 7 - Gorski Truck And Trailer
MELVIN BALE (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (30.75) from Box 5 at this track over 525m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Tough to beat if on-song. ASTON BARRISTER (7) flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fifth (30.50) over 525m at this track. Warrants plenty of respect. GAMORA BALE (4) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her slick win three back, getting around Horsham over 410m in 23.21. Has the ability and can find winning form again. PAW VOLTRON (8) must be included in calculations.

In fine form with wins at his last couple of outings most recently at Shepparton. Would be better placed in something easier.

Good effort last time when third (30.41) over 525m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Worth including.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 525m at this track. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Grade 4/5 on September 9 over 525m at this track behind Paw Kattia beaten 2 lengths (30.50). Placed two back at Geelong. Key chance on best form.
