The Meadows Pa Race 12

1609m

Prize Money: $12,356

SUMMER NIGHTS (9) had a win at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. NAIL DRIVER (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at this track over 1609m. FOX VALLEY SNAPPER (2) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight. Something for the Multiples: NORTHERN BUFF (6) MARCELLO HANOVER (8)

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 21 run. Last start posted a big 4 m win (Fr6) at this track (1:56.40) beating Killemwithkindness in CDCLMW1NW4 on October 9 at $17.20. This race will be harder than that win. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Summer Nights at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMNW6 on October 15 at $73.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Mister Miracle at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMNW6 on October 22 at $4.20. Has the ability to take this out.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at Saratoga, well beaten by Elle Est Belle (1:59.00) in NW2PMCD on September 14 at $6. Before that 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 30 m by Spill The Tea (1:58.10) in NW2PMCD on August 31 at $22.08. Happy enough to avoid.
