Meadowlands Race 2 - Race 2
KING OF THE WIND (6) rates on top after a dominant last-start win at Pocono Downs over 1609m, leading throughout to score by 4.5L, and he’s a three-time winner at the trip. MEGA SHARK (2) is the main danger off a recent 2nd at Harrah’s Philadelphia over 1609m, beaten 1.5L after tracking the speed, and has multiple placings at the distance. STEELWORKERS STORY (5) brings recent Meadowlands winning form from April over 1609m and draws better than last week’s wide run. SECURED (3) and SEVEN GRAND (7) have strong 1609m strike-rates and fit as other hopes.
