The Meadows Pa Race 5

1609M

Prize Money: $14,045

ALL BETTS ON LOVE (3) got the job done in impressive style last start to score by 21 metres at this track over 1609m, that run following a second two starts back at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. QUILL GORDON (5) ran well winning last start at this track over 1609m by 4 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expecting a very good run. ALWAYSINAFRENZY G (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. DRY RIDGE ERIE (6) should be at his peak at the fourth run back from a spell, the latest outing a second at this track a week ago.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Captain Again (1:54.20) in CDCLMW1NW4 on March 13 at $18.70. Before that 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by I'm A Donkey (1:53.10) in CDCLMW1NW4 on March 6 at $25.90. Happy enough to dismiss.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m second behind Quill Gordon at this track over 1609m NW1EXTPM last start. Before that was beaten 0.9 metres third again at this track same class on March 11. Racing well and not without merit.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Extra Rare at this track over 1609m in a NW2EXTPM on March 4 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Center Story at this track over 1609m in a NW2EXTPM on March 18 at $6.90. Going nicely and looks very hard to beat.
