The Meadows Pa Race 1

1609m

Prize Money: $26,125

BIG SHOES (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 17 metres at Oak Grove Racing over 1609m. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. GOOD FEELN TO KNOW (6) showed plenty of fight to salute at the most recent appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.9 metres. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly win again. ROBERT MICHAEL (3) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago. BATTLE HILL (1) is close to a win after two successive seconds, the latest over 1609m at this track.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Guido Di at this track over 1609m in a NW8600L4 on June 25 at $2.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Good Feeln To Know at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on July 2 at $6.50. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following June 11 run. Last start posted a big 4 m win (Fr4) at this track (1:53.00) beating Battle Hill in NW8600L4 on June 25 at $4.80. This race will be harder than that win. Can't make much of a case.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Hillexotic at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a OPEN on June 26 at $56.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Good Feeln To Know at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on July 2 at $5.10. Capable of testing this line-up.
