Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5
STERL THE PEARL (8) Reeled them in to win last start at the track and having second career run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. ODDS ON GREENBACK (4) Competed in a tight contest last start at the track and having second race start. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Will be around the mark at odds. BUTTERFLY EFFECT (5) Close to claiming the win last start at this venue and was a debutant last start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Respect against this field. PERFECT BODY (1) Close to claiming the win last start at this venue and was a debutant last start. Has the ideal draw. Has to be included.

Odds of $33.00 and came in 8th last time at this venue but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back. Better to look elsewhere.

Started at $3.00 and narrowly denied victory last start at this track but was a debutant last start. Limited possibility.

Close up last start at this venue and having second career run. Should come to hand quickly. Tim A Tetrick is highly regarded. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Close to claiming the win last start here and fitter for debut run. Shows good early pace. Driver Todd Mccarthy and trainer Nik Drennan are a strong combination. Solid claims.

Started at $8.50 and hit the line well when 5th last run at this venue and fitter for debut run. Expected to settle towards the rear. Small possibility.

Started at $21.00 and got going late when 5th last run at this track and fitter for debut run. Would be more keen on the chance of others.

Was eating up the ground late to win last start here and was on debut last time. Should muster plenty of early speed. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Jumped at $43.00 and came in 7th last start at this track but having second race start. Gets back and needs luck. Will need a big effort to win this.
