The Meadows Race 5 - Sportsbet Fanta Bale Stayers Ht2

MAGPIE HECTOR (7) sizzled around this track over 730m in 42.33 for a 1.75 lengths win. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. AYDEN'S WARRIOR (1) is a well performed dog and winner of 23 races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at this track (42.57). Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and four minor placings from nine starts. Cannot be taken lightly. BELAIR ETHYL (2) struggled for best form latest, finishing 7th (43.33) in a S/E Group 1 at this track. Has a strong record here at this journey including three wins. Goes very well from this draw with four wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Has ability and can atone. BAFFERT (8) scored by 14 lengths last time (38.65) in a Restricted WIN over 680m at Geelong. Has two wins already from this draw.
