Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
ARTIST BEST (4) has been racing without luck. Was responsible for a game effort last time out when second over 1609m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. AYR DAVE (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at Saratoga last time out. AMERICAN MERCURY (8) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.6 m by Master Miki (1:52.40) on February 21 at $1.60. Two runs back won by 8 m as favourite (Fr8) at this track (1:54.00) beating Jonah in TM<71CD on February 14 at $1.50. Perfectly placed to win again.
