The Meadows Pa Race 2

1609M

Prize Money: $15,977

KING CRUNCH (1) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing ninth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and he can find winning ways. PD'S DIAMOND HOPE (7) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 20 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. TRUMPS NEWS (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. REGAL IDEA (3) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 1609m at this track last time out.
