The Meadows Pa Race 2

1609m

Prize Money: $34,132

SCARPA (4) turned in an out-of-character effort most recently when 15 metres away in fifth over 1609m at Tioga Downs. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BIGMANBALLIN (1) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. GREEN TO GO (5) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. FRIDAY NIGHT FATS (6) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fourth behind Lions Tale at this track over 1609m TSS FINAL last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres second at Philadelphia in TSS-2YOCG on August 23. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Lets Go Long (1:57.10) in 2YOCNW1EXT on September 3 at $7.60. Before that 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Windcut Beaugosse (1:57.00) in 2YOCGNW1 on August 13 at $2.80. Can't see him troubling these.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Ocean Storm at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a REYNOLDS on September 11 at $6.35. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 1.5 m by Lions Tale (1:55.30) in TSS FINAL on September 5 at $1.90. Capable of taking this out.

Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Lions Tale (1:55.30) in TSS FINAL on September 5 at $18.70. At the start before 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at Philadelphia well beaten by Strapped (1:56.20) in TSS-2YOCG on August 23 at $3.90. One of the better hopes.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Lions Tale (1:55.30) in TSS FINAL on September 5 at $13.60. Showed ability the race before when he won by a neck (Fr3) at Philadelphia (1:57.00) beating Hook N Reel in TSS-2YOCG on August 23 at $2.60. Should be right in the finish.
