The Meadows Pa Race 9

1609M

Prize Money: $16,854

SWEET BALLAD (2) scored by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from her past four appearances. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. KANDY KISS (7) form has been impressive since returning from a spell. Finished second at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres, on the back of a first-up win at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and she can take care of this line-up. EVA'S STAR (3) finished eighth last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. REAL FAST (1) last appeared when fourth over 1609m at Pocono Downs six months ago. Must be respected.

Last start just missed, game effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Sweet Ballad (1:52.00) in FMW2NW4EXT on March 5 at $2.40. Capable of a strong showing.
