Meadowlands Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $27,933

SHOW ME YOUR ACE (4) resumes after finishing fifth at his latest appearance at this track on November 15. Talented and has plenty of upside. Finds a nice race and will be a major force. LASTDRIVEDOWNMAIN (6) has had two runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 1609m at Philadelphia, finishing 17 metres away from the winner in fourth. Leading hope based on his best efforts. MATANZAS CREEK (7) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at Philadelphia last time out. PERFECT SKY (1) is next best following a run of three top-three finishes, the latest at this track a week ago.
