The Meadows Pa Race 5

1609M

Prize Money: $27,656

OH LOOK MAGIC (7) again drew a wide gate last start but produced a strong effort, scoring by 12 metres at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m. The driver has some work to do again from this wide starting position. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. BATTLE HILL (5) continued his impressive run of recent efforts last time out when runner-up over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway, beaten 12 metres. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. GOOD FEELN TO KNOW (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. NO NAP NASH (4) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 12 m as favourite (Fr9) at Miami Valley Raceway (1:53.00) beating Battle Hill in OPEN HC on April 22 at $1.30. Two runs back won by 6 m as favourite (Fr8) at Miami Valley Raceway (1:52.10) beating Yanks Dugout in OPEN HC on April 15 at $1.60. This looks another ideal assignment.
