Meadowlands Race 8

Meadowlands 3Yo Open Pace Ms

Prize Money: $47,583

CAPTAIN LUKE (3) was in the money at Mohawk Park two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 6 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. NUCLEAR (2) scored a authoritative win when fresh from a break last start over 1609m at this track on June 14 finishing 11 metres ahead of his rivals. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. GEM QUALITY (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fifth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Must be included. MIRAGE HANOVER (7) is a reliable conveyance who was third most recently at Mohawk Park. Must be included.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following June 8 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a nose at Mohawk Park (1:49.10) beating Clever Cody in 3yo CUP on June 15 at $44 at the bell was 2nd-. This race will be harder than that win. Needs something easier.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing fourth behind Funtime Bayama at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 3yo CUP on June 8 at $7.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Remember The Alamo at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 3yo CUP on June 15 at $2.20. Has the right credentials to take this out.
