Meadowlands Race 11 - Race 11
STEELWORKERS STORY (2) comes off a last-start win at Meadowlands over 1609m, scoring by 0.5L, and looks a key chance despite a disappointing 9th last time. PRACTICAL MAN (4) has been consistent, placing 2nd at Meadowlands two runs back before a forgive run when 10th last start. DOLLAR DRAFT (1) was runner-up at The Red Mile last start, beaten just 0.1L, and has multiple recent placings. MUSCLE MAXIMUS (9) has solid credentials, winning at Dayton Raceway three starts ago and placing in both subsequent runs. JUDGE LETT (7) has placed in three of his last five and is also in the mix.
