The Meadows Pa Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $14,265

I'M A DONKEY (4) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his victory last time out, scoring by 17 metres over 1609m at this track. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. FEAR THE PANDA (1) scored two runs back then recorded an effortless victory last start, scoring by 25 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a tougher race but another win is not out of the question. LAUGHING INTHERAIN (5) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. LEADS THE WAY (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Four-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 25 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:56.40) beating Ten K Obo in NW1EXTPM on January 31 at $1.40. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Gronk Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW2EXTPM on January 28 at $8.70. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Gronk Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW2EXTPM on January 31 at $53. This race appears well within his grasp.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 7 days ago and two back 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 17 m by Chip's Power (1:56.20) in NW2EXTPM on January 21 at $4.50. Hard to recommend him on recent form.
