The Meadows Pa Race 1

1609m

Prize Money: $28,531

GOOD FEELN TO KNOW (5) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 18 metres into seventh at Scioto Downs over 1609m. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. BIG SHOES (6) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at The Red Mile, beaten 13 metres. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. PRINCE OF HONOR (7) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Must be included. SFORZA (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by a 0.8 m as favourite (Fr5) at Philadelphia (1:53.00) beating Arrowhead Hanover in NW15000L5 on August 6 at $1.60. Two runs back 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Prince Of Honor (1:52.20) in OPEN HCP on July 30 at $14.30. Likely to find it too tough.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth behind Good Feeln To Know at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on July 2 at $42.70. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Little Road at this track over 1609m in a NW12500L4 on August 6 at $7. Nicely placed to take this out.

Well beaten last start by Prince Of Honor, who he meets again; when 24 metres fifth at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP race on July 30. Can't have on that basis.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Battle Hill at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a OPEN on August 7 at $11. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Prince Of Honor (1:52.20) in OPEN HCP on July 30 at $2.10. Capable of testing this line-up.
