The Meadows Race 8 - Great Chase Series Final
SURGE (7) lines up chasing another win after sizzling around this track over 525m in 29.69 on October 10. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. STAR NOTE (2) filled the minor money two on end before breaking through for a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 525m (29.85). Expected to feature again. CRUISE COMMANDER (1) is a well performed dog who recorded his 5th career win last time out at this track (30.36). Sure to be thereabouts. MEPUNGA TURBO (5) was strongly fancied but finished second last time (29.76) at this track, bringing a three-run winning streak to an end. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors.
