Meadowlands Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $35,663

DANDELION WINE (5) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 12 metres. Has the talent to take this out. RIO DE JANEIRO (1) scored two runs back then recorded an effortless victory last start, scoring by 12 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up so she is capable of getting the job done again. OLBIA (4) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished second at this track over 1609m. GRANDIFLORA (7) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Two-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 12 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:55.00) beating Special Orchid in KNDRGARTEN on August 29 at $1.20. In terrific form and is the one to beat again.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 19 run. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr9) at The Meadows (1:59.00) beating Kaylee's Princess in FMNW1EXTPM on August 26 at $2.70. This race will be harder than that win. Not keen on her chances.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Day One Dandy at this track over 1609m in a NJSS-SILVR on August 7 at $2.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Special Orchid at this track over 1609m in a GRDN STATE on August 21 at $2.90. Hard to fault on current form.
