Due to the excellent stake money, a good class field will line up behind the mobile barrier and the race distance of 2590m will be a test of stamina.

Support races are good and harness racing fans are expected to give the meeting full support.

They will be able to bet on the Gloucester Park meeting plus other meetings nation wide then watch the races live on Sky Channel. Feature events at Gloucester are the $150,000 WA Oaks for three-year-old fillies and the $35,000 Race for Roses which is a discretionary handicap event for fillies and mares.

Adding interest to the Wagin meeting is the keenly contested annual awards run by the Wagin Trotting Club where little separates the participants in each category.

The good news for both Wagin and Narrogin clubs is that the Central Wheatbelt Harness Racing Club held their final meeting of the season last Sunday and trainers from that area will now give more support to

meetings in the Great Southern. The Kellerberrin meeting last Sunday did impact on last Friday’s Narrogin one and they only had six races, however the racing was keenly contested.

Feature event, the 2008 Great Southern RadioWest Team Stakes was won by the fast finishing The Midnight

Rocket who was driven by Nathan Turvey for his boss, Casuarina trainer Grant Williams.

Jack Cantell put in a good effort for second, driven by Tim Stone and the Armbro Intercept gelding now leads narrowly in the the Leading Pacer Award.

His trainer Jim Draper had a second through Boot Man driven by Nathan Turvey and both trainer and driver lead in their respective awards.

Shane Butterworth drove Adda Little Cash to an easy win in a race for three-year-olds and is 11 points behind Turvey at this stage. The Garry McLeish trained Last Impulse and the Robin Donnell trained and driven Too Funky ran second in their races.
