Meadowlands Race 14

Race 14

Prize Money: $14,514

CAVEMAN (1) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 7 metres from the winner. Has the benefit of a good draw. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. LMC PEANUTS WATCHN (5) put together some minor placings then was at his best last start to score by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track on June 20. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it two on the trot. GOODBYE STRANGER (10) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Philadelphia. CAPTAIN UP (7) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Aces Or Bettor at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a NW6001-4 on June 21 at $6.46. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Captain Up at this track over 1609m on June 26 at $4.90. Nicely placed to take this out.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Wish You Well at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW7800L5 on June 14 at $40.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Crush Kill Destroy at this track over 1609m on June 20 at $15.20. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 24 m by Moving On Over (1:50.10) in NW2500L5CD on June 26 at $21.10. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 18 m by Idiosyncratic (1:51.40) in 20000CLHC on June 19 at $17.60. Better off avoiding.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 40 m by Hugh Heston (1:51.10) in 20-25 CLHC on July 5 at $13.30. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 6 m win (Fr3) at this track (1:50.20) beating Seen Here in TM<80.5CD on June 26 at $3.30. A better run is on the cards.
