The Meadows Pa Race 6

1609m

Prize Money: $15,063

SFORZA (5) scored last time out by 4 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. BLOCKCHAIN (4) finished fifth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 16 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. BIG BOY ERNEST (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at this track over 1609m. ESPRESSO (3) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 2.25 m (Fr3) at this track (1:56.40) beating Holton in GLADA on May 21 at $2.50. Two runs back 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by Blockchain (1:53.20) in NW3500L4 on May 8 at $15.20. Likely to find it too tough.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Sforza at this track over 1609m in a NW5500L4 on May 22 at $7.30. Performed better the start before where he won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:53.20) beating L Dees Maria in NW3500L4 on May 8 at $1.20. Rates highly. Big chance.
