The Meadows Pa Race 9

1609m

Prize Money: $29,028

BLACK TESLA (6) scored by 3 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m last start at his first career run. Facing a tougher assignment but he will benefit from that last run and is up to the task. KEYSTONE AUGUSTA (1) produced a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender in a similar line-up. VAPORETTO (5) is open to further improvement at his third career start after scoring last time out over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Likely to be around the mark again. BIGMANBALLIN (3) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Keystone Augusta at this track over 1609m in a TSS-2YOCG on July 11 at $34.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Crimson Crown at this track over 1609m in an ARDEN 2YOC on July 24 at $7.60. Capable of taking this out.
