Meadowlands Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $27,933

KING OF THE WIND (6) has been racing well and registered another victory last start, scoring by 13 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. MEGA SHARK (2) was 4.5 metres away in second at Philadelphia over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Taking on a better field but he is fitter and good enough to cope. SEVEN GRAND (7) last appeared when he got home by 4 metres over 1609m at Vernon Downs nine months ago. Should be thereabouts. GUSTAV (4) ended last prep with a third at this track over 1609m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.
