Meadowlands Race 8 - Race 8
SOUTHERN HANOVER (9) Finished with purpose when winning last time around here. Placed at every start this campaign. More confidence with driver Tim A Tetrick guiding the horse. Must be considered. SEVEN PLEDGES (6) Narrowly denied a win last time around here. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Driver Jason J Bartlett is highly regarded. Worth a ticket. ICE WALL (3) Rounded them up to win last start at Harrah's Philadelphia and was on debut last time. Likely to be well placed early. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . BENTLEY BLUE CHIP (7) Took charge of the race when winning by a margin of 2.5m last run at Pocono Downs and form has been improving over recent runs. Will be around the mark at odds.

At $5.00 right up there last start at this venue but will appreciate a good draw. Should come to hand quickly. Low-key chance.

Flew home to win last start at Harrah's Philadelphia and was a debutant last start. Should jump out and bowl along. Definite claims.

Jumped at $19.00 and made ground when closing off to finish 5th last start at this track. Might have to make up considerable ground. Looking elsewhere today.

Assumed control from the start to win by a margin of 2.5m last run at Pocono Downs and getting better in recent performances. Driver Ake Svanstedt is a plus. Rates as one of the key chances.

Missed by a narrow margin last run here and fitter for debut run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Others are more appealing.

Stormed home to win last time at this track. Tim A Tetrick is a key engagement. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Will show up at the business end.
