The Meadows Pa Race 9

1609M

Prize Money: $19,355

VP ROCKIN (6) Looked outclassed when 7th last time at this venue. May see an upturn in form. Likely to be well placed early. Added confidence with Dave Palone doing the steering. Must be considered. NIGHT WATCHMAN (8) Dictated the tempo to win by a margin of 2m last start at this track. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 attempts. Aaron Merriman is a key engagement. Looks to be value. KILOWATT KID N (7) Missed by a narrow margin last start at the track. Been in the money multiple times this campaign. Has a great burst of speed late. Must respect in this event. SHANGHAI JAMES (5) Finished 4th last start at the track. Giving another chance here. Has shown early pace in races to date. Won't be far away.
