The Meadows Pa Race 11

1609M

Prize Money: $11,657

SMOKING JET (8) finished sixth last start, beaten 12 metres at this track over 1609m. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. This is a nice drop in class so he is a major player. BJORNSSON (5) finished seventh last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 55 metres, after a modest seventh at Northfield Park the run prior. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. BUCK NOME (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. ROCK CLIMBER (7) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 1609m at this track two runs back.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind The Funk at this track over 1609m in a NW3500L4 on February 19 at $89.20. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Resolute Bay at this track over 1609m in a NW3550L4 on February 26 at $7.30. Nicely placed to take this out.
