The Meadows Pa Race 9

1609M

Prize Money: $19,355

REAL SURREAL (4) Fresh after a break. Charged home to win last time at Pocono Downs. Has plenty of early speed. Dave Palone adds value. Strong chance. VP ROCKIN (2) Close to a win last start around here. Overlooking the last run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. SUN OF A SHOW (5) First up from a spell. Close to a win last run at Pocono Downs. Expecting to settle positively. Serious player. REALRUBIES AT PLAY (1) Romped home to win last run at Northfield Park and has drawn to do little work. Made it 4 wins in succession. Aaron Merriman booked to drive here. One of the hopes.
