The Meadows Pa Race 11

1609M

Prize Money: $11,510

JUST LIKE MAGIC (3) was out of the money two runs back at this track then displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 16 metres over 1609m at the same circuit. Has the benefit of a good draw. Primary contender in this comparable race. CHUCK (6) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Won't find this any harder and he can grab a win. BUR BUN (4) is in the mix at his first run since finishing third over 1609m at this track four-and-a-half months ago. SWAN LEGACY (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Fashion Cantab at this track over 1609m in a NW4250L4 on January 14 at $3. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Keystone Apache at this track over 1609m in a NW4250L4 on January 21 at $4.60. Progressing well. Top prospects.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. Posted a big 5 m win (Fr5) at this track (2:00.10) beating Troycen in NW1500L4 on January 22 at $9.30. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into sixth behind Keystone Apache at this track over 1609m in a NW1500L4 on January 15 at $9.50. This is likely to prove too tough.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Enzio at this track over 1609m in a NW6000L4 on January 10 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Dejerate Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW2300L4 on January 16 at $1.80. Nice effort last time. Winning hope.
