Meadowlands Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $12,839

GIUSEPPE C (4) finished second last start, beaten 7 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Primary contender in a similar assignment. GILLYS DE VIE (6) is in good form at present. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Leading hope based on recent form. IN SECRET (3) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Saratoga. GO LONG (2) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on August 21.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Honolugoo (1:54.10) on August 29 at $12.40. The run previous 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 m by Captain Code (1:54.20) on August 21 at $22.10. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Honolugoo (1:54.10) on August 29 at $27.90. Before that 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 2.25 m by All Too Well (1:56.30) on August 21 at $7.50. This race looks too tough.
