The Meadows Pa Race 14

1609M

Stake: $94,434

ASPHALT (8) is a talented filly who has managed five wins and one minor placings from six starts this prep. Produced another fine effort last start when she scored over 1609m at Philadelphia, coming in 2.25 metres ahead of her rivals. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. ALWAYS ANA HANOVER (4) has been hard to fault of late and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 4 metres. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. TIME OF THE SEASON (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1609m. ALWAYS DAWN (2) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound second at Mohawk Park over 1609m.
