The Meadows Pa Race 3

1609m

Prize Money: $10,489

GROOVIN WILL (2) ran sixth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 90 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. SUMMA WRESTLER (6) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 40 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. HE'S SO SMART (1) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. WILD BREW (3) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Glowing Lou at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMW1NW4 on October 2 at $4.90. Raced better the start before that where he won by a nose (Fr2) at this track (1:53.20) beating Jacks High Hanover in CDCLMW1NW4 on September 11 at $9.50. Has the right credentials to take this out.
