The Meadows Pa Race 6

1609m

Prize Money: $28,531

CELTIC WAVE (7) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 6 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take care of this line-up. CURRENT EVENTS (6) did a good job to finish third two starts ago then recorded a comfortable win last start, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. ELOUN MUSK (4) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Philadelphia. KURT (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by at Washington over 1609m.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 16 m by Current Events (1:51.30) in TSS-2YOCGP on August 14 at $21.80. Two runs back 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 4 m by Big Al Diamond (1:53.40) in 2YOCGNW2 on July 31 at $4.30. Would be better placed in something easier.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 3 run. Last start won by 4.5 m as favourite (Fr8) at this track (1:54.30) beating Darkest Truth in 2YOCNW1EXT on August 14 at $1.50. This race will be harder than that win. Can't recommend him in this.

Well beaten last start by Celtic Wave, who he meets again; when 25 metres sixth at Philadelphia over 1609m in a TSS-2YOCGP race on August 14. Can't have on that basis.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Dapper Station at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a TSS 2YRCG on August 3 at $7.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Scorecard Hounddog at Philadelphia over 1609m in a TSS-2YOCGP on August 14 at $5.30. Can improve. Very hard to beat.

Two-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Philadelphia and Pocono Downs both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr1) at Philadelphia (1:51.40) beating Sassinator in TSS-2YOCGP on August 14 at $1.80. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.
