The Meadows Pa Race 1

1609M

Stake: $16,973

COLONEL BAYAMA (6) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 18 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. WAR DAN DELIGHT (1) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 15 metres into ninth at Northfield Park over 1609m. Finds a nice race and from this ideal draw can play a major role. PONDA LUCK (4) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished third at this track over 1609m. HAWAIIAN CHIP (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m.
