The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
GILLETTE (2) Close to a win last start at Northfield Park. Expected to rebound. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Justin Irvine and Garry Martin form a proven partnership. One of the better chances. FEED THE VILLAGE (6) Was agonizingly close last start at the track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Likely to be well placed early. Tracking very well this campaign. Winnable race. VAQUERA (5) Racing as a debutant 2yo by Wearinmysixshooter for trainer Scott Betts. Betting as a guide. OUT OF OPTIONS (1) Good run when placing 3rd beaten by 8.75m last run at this venue and drawn beautifully. Can go through the gears. Could pose a threat and looks promising.

Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by 8.75m last run at this track and gets a favourable draw. Should get going late. Serious contender.

Odds of $11.00 and narrowly beaten last start at Northfield Park. Expected to rebound. Should come to hand quickly. Justin Irvine and Garry Martin demand respect when they team up. Very tidy performer.

At $33.00 close to a win last run at the track. Might be ridden for luck. Very slim hope.

Narrowly beaten last start around here and putting a tidy record together so far. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Very competitive this preparation. Strong chance to be considered.
