The Meadows Pa Race 11

1609M

Prize Money: $11,236

OSTRO HANOVER (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 19 metres at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and will prove very tough to beat. WHISKEY BREAK (2) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 9 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Fares a lot better at the draw this time and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. GONNABELEGENDARY (6) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. DRAGON CITY (3) is worth some thought despite his last-start ninth over 1609m at this track on March 20.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following March 6 run. Last start won by 8 m (Fr5) at this track (1:53.00) beating Whiskey Break in NW3750L4 on March 13 at $11.50. This race will be harder than that win. Happy enough to avoid.
