Meadowlands Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $36,284

AINTMYFIRSTRO DEO (6) made a winning start to his career a week ago, getting home by 3 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. GOAL ORIENTED (1) made a winning start to his career a week ago, getting home by over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. VELVET DITCH (2) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. WHODOUTHINKURIAM (3) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 1609m at this track last time out.
