Meadowlands Race 1

Race 1

Stake: $68,157

STINGMAN (9) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 0.9 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at Pocono Downs. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. OBLITERATE (5) ran second last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect him to be prominent. PERFECT SKY (6) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1609m at this track. Great chance to break through. PERFECT CABERNET (7) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Bookie J at this track over 1609m in a NJSS-PLTNM on May 2 at $28.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Stingman at this track over 1609m in a NJSS-SILVR on May 9 at $4.50. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Stingman at this track over 1609m in a NJSS-SILVR on May 9 at $42.40. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 m by Perfect Cabernet (1:53.10) in NJSS-SILVR on May 2 at $24.40. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 0.9 m by Moneyhill (1:51.10) in NW4PM CG on May 16 at $2.70. Two runs back posted a big 13 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:52.30) beating Obliterate in NJSS-SILVR on May 9 at $1.40. Capable of a strong showing.
