The Meadows Pa Race 8

1609m

Prize Money: $10,160

WILD BREW (6) turned in a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on July 2. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. FOX VALLEY CHUCKLE (5) filled a minor placing at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of another bold performance. UNDERCOVER SPEED (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. DRY RIDGE ERIE (3) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound second at this track over 1609m.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind The Real Thing at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMW1NW4 on June 27 at $10.50. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Derek's Rocket at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMW1NW4 on July 4 at $11.80. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.
