The Meadows Pa Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $27,656

OUT OF ICE (5) scored at Northfield Park two runs ago before having his colours lowered when second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.6 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can find winning ways. SURREAL IDEAL (6) returned from a break in very good order last time out when successful over 1609m at this track on April 17, getting home by 0.6 metres. Big chance in a similar assignment. BYTHEMISSAL (7) returns from a spell of six months. Honest type who has won first-up in the past. Best form read well so a winning return is on the cards. TIMEISONMYSIDE (4) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m.

Resuming after six months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when a close second behind Surreal Ideal at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a FFA on October 25 at $5.45. Sure to be thereabouts.
