Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5
ORINOCO (7) Narrowly denied a win last time at Pocono Downs. Should be going forward early. Been in the placegetters each attempt this campaign. Better hope. MRS RATTIGAN (4) Didn't find the line when 7th last time around here. Is capable of a resurgence. Displays good tactical speed. Looks to be value. WINNER HANOVER (10) Controlled the speed when winning by 4.75m last time at Pocono Downs. Likely to be well placed early. Jason J Bartlett is a plus. Won't be far away. BARFLY ARMITAGE (6) Exotics and place chance.

Started $14.00 and came in 7th last start at this track but having second race start. Has a nice advantage with a good draw. May find these too slick.

Was $25.00 and narrowly denied a win last start at this track and was on debut last time. Hard to see it being good enough.

Finished 6th last run at Harrah's Philadelphia but fitter for debut run. Expected to settle towards the rear. Pass.

Jumped at $4.50 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last time here. Is capable of a resurgence. Has shown early pace in races to date. Solid claims.

Finished 5th last time at Pocono Downs but was on debut last time. Will be positive in the run early. Tough ask.

Threw down a serious challenge last time at Pocono Downs. Shows good early pace. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Will be competitive.

Missed by a narrow margin last start around here and was a debutant last start. Finishes off strongly. Some hope in this event.

At $7.00 came in 5th last time at this track but was a debutant last start. Has early speed and positions nicely. Can't suggest backing.

Led and controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 4.75m last time at Pocono Downs. Should muster plenty of early toe. Driver Jason J Bartlett is an asset. Great chance.
