The Meadows Pa Race 5

1609M

Prize Money: $11,936

CAPTIVATED (1) brought some very good form to the table before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done again. GRONK HANOVER (5) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 4 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. SAN REMO HANOVER (4) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. PRINCESSBYTHESEA (2) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 1609m at Northfield Park two runs back.

Going well. Last start posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:54.10) beating Gronk Hanover in CDCLMNW6 on April 24 at $1.60. No surprise if he made it two in a row.

4th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Captivated (1:54.10) in CDCLMNW6 on April 24 at $34.60. Before that 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 55 m by Enrico Pallazzo (1:52.00) in CDCLMNW8 on April 17 at $46.30. Win doesn't look likely.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Enrico Pallazzo at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMNW8 on April 17 at $19.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Captivated at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMNW6 on April 24 at $15.60. Can improve. Top chance.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Captivated (1:54.10) in CDCLMNW6 on April 24 at $5.70. Two runs back won by 3 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.40) beating Senior Partner in CDCLMW1NW4 on April 17 at $1.90. Sure to play a significant role.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following April 17 run. Last start posted a big 9 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:53.00) beating Derek's Rocket in CDCLMW1NW4 on April 24 at $2.70. This race will be harder than that win. A podium finish would surprise.
