The Meadows Pa Race 9

1609M

Stake: $16,899

THAI HANOVER (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. AVENGER FORCE (6) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, a poor reflection on his short quote. Meets a comparable field and he can turn in a much better performance. FEAR OF THE CITY (4) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Hoosier Park. BROOKS (1) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at this track.
