Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5

PRACTICAL MAN (8) is the one to beat after leading throughout to win at Meadowlands over 1609m last start, scoring by 0.1L. CREATE ESCAPE (6) resumes but won here over 1609m in October and has a 2-from-4 record at the trip. SEVENATO (3) was 2nd at Harrah’s Philadelphia over 1609m two back, beaten 1L, and draws well to figure. SAINT PATRICK (9) was 2nd at Meadowlands three starts ago by 0.15L and led for 4th at Harrah’s Philadelphia last time, so has claims if he finds the front again.
