The Meadows Pa Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $14,045

HOT CAM (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. THE REAL THING (1) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 45 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. BOBBY BONE BREAKER (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can make amends. CENTER STORY (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Fear The Panda at this track over 1609m in a W1NW2EXTPM on February 18 at $7.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind A Bit Of Spirits at this track over 1609m in a NW2EXTPM on February 25 at $7.80. The testing material off the pegs.
