The Meadows Pa Race 10

1609M

Stake: $115,566

MELILLO (7) had to dig deep to score last start over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 1.5 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. AL PAPI (1) made a winning start to his career two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Has the benefit of a good draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. TOAST OF THE TOWN (6) got home by 1.5 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia last start at his first race start. Strips fitter and can go on with the job. WESTERN RAPTOR (2) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1609m at Pocono Downs two runs ago.
