The Meadows Pa Race 8

1609m

Stake: $12,901

TOUCHBACK (7) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can grab that well-deserved win. LELAND HANOVER (6) finished sixth last start, beaten 14 metres at Northfield Park over 1609m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. HE'S SO SMART (3) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. WILD BREW (1) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Odds On Favorite at this track over 1609m in a W2NW3EXTPM on October 2 at $44.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Pepe Lou Pew at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMW1NW4 on October 16 at $2.90. Should be right in the finish.
