The Meadows Pa Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $17,713

AMERICAN FLING (5) Failed to threaten last time at this venue. Happy to overlook that run and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Dave Palone booked to drive here. Definite claims. THE REAL WAY (6) Ran 2nd last run here. Aaron Merriman has been successful previously. Looks to be value. JOHNNY SACK (2) Failed to threaten last run at Northfield Park. Can show a better performance this time. Displays good finishing speed. Ronnie Wrenn Jr does know the horse very well. Goes close. CHIEF MATE (3) Fought on gamely when winning last time here. Will be trying to topple them late. Each way hope.
