The Meadows Pa Race 1

1609M

Prize Money: $25,678

SFORZA (6) did not live up to market expectations last time out when fifth, beaten 3 metres, over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that was strong, including a win over 1609m at this track two starts ago. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back to his best form. EMERALD'S LEGACY (2) went well to finish second two starts ago then recorded a comfortable win last start, scoring by 24 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. BIG BOY ERNEST (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. TENNESSEE TOM (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.
