The Meadows Pa Race 8

1609m

Prize Money: $28,531

HUNGRY MARCO (2) has been hard to fault of late. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at Philadelphia, getting home by 4 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. CAPTAIN CHARLIE (1) finished second last start over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 4 metres, after a good win at Meadowlands the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Big chance if anywhere near his best. DAPPER STATION (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at Philadelphia last time out. CARIBBEAN MIKI (4) cannot be ruled out after breaking his maiden status two weeks ago over 1609m at this track.
