The Meadows Pa Race 1

1609M

Prize Money: $10,413

FEAR OF THE CITY (7) finished eighth last start over 1609m at Dayton Raceway, beaten 35 metres, after a modest sixth at Dayton Raceway the run prior. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is in the right race to return to form. CAFE CULTURE (4) resumes here after closing his last campaign with a eighth at Philadelphia on May 15. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expected to run well. YOU SAID I COULD (2) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.6 metres at this track over 1609m. TURN N DANCE (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m.
