Meadowlands Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $39,230

WORLD OF WISHES (5) scored at his most recent outing by 18 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. CHRISTOPHER DANCE N (4) finished fifth last start over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 8 metres, after a good win at Tioga Downs the run prior. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. CAPTAIN CRUSADER A (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m. DALE YEAH (2) was not beaten far last start when fourth over 1609m at The Red Mile. Ready to peak third-up from a spell.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by World Of Wishes (1:48.40) in NW10500L5 on August 29 at $6.50. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth behind Apocalypsebluechip at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on August 8 at $38.50. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at Tioga Downs beaten 8 m by Congressional (1:50.10) in OPEN on August 30 at $6.78. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Tioga Downs (1:51.20) beating Up The Creek in OPEN on August 23 at $1.43. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
