The Meadows Pa Race 5

1609m

Prize Money: $10,489

GLOWING LOU (5) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his win last time out, scoring by 30 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. COVER THE SPREAD (7) was 9 metres away in third at Northfield Park over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. SUMMA WRESTLER (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a nose at this track over 1609m. HE'S SO SMART (1) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Well beaten last start by Glowing Lou, a rival who he faces again; when 50 metres fifth at this track over 1609m in a INT AMTR race on September 18. Can't have on that basis.
