The Meadows Pa Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $13,966

BIRTHDAY (2) finished sixth last start, beaten 12 metres at Northfield Park over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. AMERICAN FLING (5) scored last time out by 5 metres in a far better performance at Northfield Park over 1609m. Meets a comparable field so he can make it two on the bounce. AMERICAN WARRIOR (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway last time out. MANTADOR (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway beaten 17 m by Bet On Buter (1:54.00) in OPEN II on May 9 at $4.18. Showed ability the run before when he won by 4 m (Fr5) at this track (1:51.30) beating Notorious Hanover in CDCLMNW8 on May 1 at $7.10. Sure to be very competitive.

Last start 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Liteningonthebeach (1:49.30) in NW7000L4 on May 8 at $49.40. Two runs back 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Lunar (1:51.30) in NW6500L4 on April 24 at $35.60. May find this too tough.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth behind Lunar at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on April 24 at $1.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Liteningonthebeach at this track over 1609m in a NW7000L4 on May 8 at $4. Looks the testing material.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at Northfield Park beaten 1.5 m by Our Benson (1:53.40) in NW5000L4 on May 10 at $7.20. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into sixth behind Sumomentsomwhere at Northfield Park over 1609m in a NW5000L4 on April 26 at $22.90. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at this track (1:52.30) beating Ten Tothe Dozen in NW2251L4 on May 8 at $9. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Sandbetweenmytoes at this track over 1609m in a NW4901L4 on May 2 at $37.60. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.
