The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
NAIL DRIVER (3) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his victory last time out, scoring by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can salute once again. FOX VALLEY SNAPPER (1) recorded a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. CLASSY COCKTAIL (4) is one of the main contenders after winning her past two starts, the latest at this track six days ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. NORTHERN BUFF (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind One Trip Chip at Northfield Park over 1609m in a NW4PMCD on October 20 at $12.80. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Classy Cocktail at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMW1NW4 on November 6 at $2.70. Strong winning hope.

Four-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.6 m (Fr5) at this track (1:56.40) beating Fox Valley Snapper in CDCLMW1NW4 on November 6 at $2.80. Recent form hard to fault.
