Meadowlands Race 3

1609M

Prize Money: $27,216

MAXIM HANOVER (8) recorded another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another bold race. CAPTAIN CRUSADER (4) turned in another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track, adding to an impressive run of top-three results. Meets a comparable field and he can go one better. BUILD THE WALL (5) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. DANCE PARTNER (7) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago.
