The Meadows Race 5

Gorski Tippers Melbourne

Prize Money: $3,340

LES NORTON (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (28.48) in a Grade 5 H at Bendigo. Has a good record at this journey. Key runner on his best form. PAW QUIVER (2) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (23.06) in a Grade 5 at Geelong latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to bounce back to best. NORTON BALE (1) is better than last start when fifth (26.48) from Box 2 at Geelong over 460m. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. REV IAN (7) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 460m in 26.20. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 460m at Geelong at Mix 6/7 FIN level. Major threat on best form.

Lines up from box 2 for the first time after finishing a 9 length fifth at Geelong (23.06) in a Grade 5. Looks a leading chance.
