The Meadows Pa Race 10

1609M

Prize Money: $10,314

UNIVERSAL (4) has had three runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last time when he finished sixth over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 metres. This is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to find the winners' list. GROOVY JOE (6) finished second at his most recent outing, beaten 7 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Recent efforts are good enough to put him right in the finish. REGAL IDEA (3) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. ER ROCKY (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind King Crunch at this track over 1609m in a W2NW5EXTPM on December 19 at $83.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind War Machine at this track over 1609m in a NW2000L4 on January 16 at $32.40. Definite winning chance.
