The Meadows Pa Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $87,277

PAPI GRAD (7) resumes from a spell of eight months after showing some very good form last campaign, the last run being a second over 1609m at The Red Mile. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Will have plenty of admirers. ASPHALT (2) is unbeaten this campaign in three appearances. Scored most recently by 9 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. ALWAYS ANA HANOVER (6) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. BECKONING YANKEE (1) must be respected after scoring last start by 10 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m.
