The Meadows Race 8 - Sportsbet Topgun Stayers (G1)
MAGPIE HECTOR (3) goes very well this trip starting 25 times for 14 wins and seven minors. Recorded a 7 length win (41.26) in a NG last time at Gosford. Looks suited and should go close. BEAUTIFUL CHILD (1) has a big motor and ideally suited at the longer trips. Last start was seventh over 642m at Q Lakeside in a OPEN (37.15). Form at the trip excellent including seven wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Should play a prominent role. AYDEN'S WARRIOR (2) comes here after a scorching Grade 4/5 win at Sandown over 595m in 34.13. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. WITHOUT A TRACE (8) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Well supported here last start but let backers down, finishing finished last over 642m at Q Lakeside beaten 10 lengths (37.15) behind Tempting Dash in a OPEN on October 22. Placed two back at Wentworth Park. Strongly fancied last time but missed the frame and was beaten a fair way. Can atone.

Eye-catching performance to score by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Sandown, clocking a hot 34.13 for the 595m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Won two starts back at Bendigo over 660m in 37.42. Followed that up with a minor placing over 715m at Sandown at Free For All two-and-a-half weeks ago. Hard to have without further improvement.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (42.92) over 730m at Angle Park. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need to find best.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 715m at Cannington in a handy (41.86), beating Our Girl Jess. Will find this a bit tougher, can't make much of a case this time.
