Meadowlands Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $35,663

SEVEN PLEDGES (6) produced another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1609m at this track, adding to a good second on debut at Vernon Downs the run prior. Leading hope based on those two efforts. SOUTHERN HANOVER (9) ran well winning last start at this track over 1609m by 3 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. BAROLO (4) faces the starter for the first time. By Alrajah One It and hails from the Nancy Takter stable. Sure to prove very hard to beat. NEW HOPE (8) is a likely improver after debuting with a solid second last time out over 1609m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Gio's Hope at Vernon Downs over 1609m in a NYSS on July 10 at $1.49. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Southern Hanover at this track over 1609m in a KNDRGARTEN on July 24 at $2.10. Well placed to go one better.
