1609m

Prize Money: $78,381

OPS MEARAS S (5) saluted two runs back then recorded a comfortable victory last time out, scoring by 9 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she good enough to play a major role. GINGER TREE DARLA (2) finished fourth last start, beaten 21 metres at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. THE CAPTAIN'S WIFE (3) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1609m at Pocono Downs a week-and-a-half ago. BLYTHE HANOVER (4) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at this track.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Orinoco at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a PASS 2YRF on August 17 at $14.80. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 12 m by Birr Castle (1:53.40) in PASS-2YOFT on August 6 at $61.10. Should be right in the finish.

Two-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Pocono Downs and Philadelphia both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 9 m win (Fr1) at Pocono Downs (1:55.40) beating One Tequila in TSS 2YRF on August 17 at $3.10. Going very well and deserves top billing.
