The Meadows Pa Race 11

1609m

Prize Money: $18,131

COUNTRY VICTORY (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 0.9 metres from the winner. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance based on that recent effort. LITTLE ROAD (3) did a fine job last time over 1609m at Pocono Downs, finishing second and just 4 metres from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. BEST MET YET (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. CHANNING (7) is open to further improvement at his third run back from a break after scoring last time out over 1609m at this track.

Last start 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Splendid (1:55.30) in NW5500L4 on May 30 at $12.30. Two runs back 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 16 m by Guido Di (1:54.20) in NW9000L4 on May 16 at $21.20. May find this too tough.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Mars Hill at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a NW10PMRLT on May 8 at $35.90. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Channing at this track over 1609m in a W4NW7EXTPM on May 29 at $1.10. Looks ready to win again.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Jailbird Jog at Oak Grove Racing over 1609m in a OAKGRVOAKS on May 16 at $28.22. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Berry Good News at Pocono Downs over 1609m in an ALL-STARS on May 23 at $1.20. Capable of testing this line-up.
