The Meadows Race 8 - Great Chase Semi Final 4 (1-5 Wins)
CORBAN YAXLEY (2) was a slick 25.28 winner of a Restricted WIN H at Ballarat last start. In form and looks the one to beat again. PURE SILK (6) comes off a (25.31) win last time, scoring by half a length in a Restricted WIN H over 450m at Ballarat. Yet to taste defeat in three runs from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. WORD GETS AROUND (5) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with two wins and a placing from four tries. Placed last time (28.69) at Bendigo in a Restricted WIN H, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Looks one of the chances. ASTON COMMANDER (3) has not raced here but still warrants respect.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Sandown over 515m in 29.72. Followed that up with a minor placing over 460m at Warragul at Restricted WIN H a week-and-a-half ago. Top-three hope with the right run.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 460m at Geelong beaten 2.75 lengths (25.77) behind Going Nuclear in a Restricted WIN H on October 2. Better off looking to others.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 450m at Shepparton. That followed a win two back in 30.10 beating Xara Navy over 515m at Sandown. Hard to have this time.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 0.9 lengths over 450m at Warrnambool in a handy 25.44, beating Fume Train. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.
