The Meadows Pa Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $11,936

CAPTIVATED (3) 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 7 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. TOUCHANDGO HANOVER (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. FINAL CHANCE (4) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. AMERICAN WARRIOR (7) must be respected after scoring last start by a neck at this track over 1609m.

Four-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 7 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:53.40) beating Gronk Hanover in CDCLMW1NW4 on April 3 at $1.20. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Kashed Up at this track over 1609m in a 7500CLM on March 27 at $30.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind High Impression at this track over 1609m in a 8000CLM on April 3 at $3.50. One of the key runners.
