The Meadows Pa Race 5

1609M

Prize Money: $89,749

MR BIG SPENDER (1) is in tremendous form with wins at his last three starts, most recently when he was too good over this track and distance eight days ago. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. KOUNTRY JIM (5) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 20 metres. Expected to run well. TJ'S DREAM (2) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing. FALSE DOGMA (4) was easily accounted for when seventh over 1609m at this track recently at his first race start. Strips fitter and can improve.
