Meadowlands Race 14

Race 14

Prize Money: $34,916

DIABOLIC HILL (1) is back today after a layoff of six months. Closed the last preparation in great style with a win by 0.6 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. AMERICAN POWER (3) scored at the first run back from a layoff last start over 1609m at this track on May 16, finishing 1.5 metres ahead of his rivals. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. GUSTAV (4) is next best after finishing runner-up when resuming over 1609m at this track last time out. KINGMEN (5) is worth some thought based on his third over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing two runs ago.
