The Meadows Pa Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $27,565

BIRTHDAY (4) produced a strong effort last time over 1609m at Northfield Park, finishing 7 metres from the winner in third. Comes back to The Meadows and is always tough to beat at this circuit. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. OUT OF ICE (5) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 1.5 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. MOMENT IS HERE (2) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago. TIMEISONMYSIDE (7) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at Dayton Raceway over 1609m.
