Meadowlands Race 8 - Race 8
WRONG SOUNDS RIGHT (5) Threw down a serious challenge last start here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Performing honestly this preparation. Bold performance expected. JAZZY BLUES (1) Narrowly denied a win last run around here and showing consistent performance in races. Going well this campaign and has minimal work to do from the alley. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. DELTA (6) Couldn't stay in touch when 9th last run at this venue. Is capable of a resurgence. Should come to hand quickly. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. MUSCLEAID (2) Narrowly denied victory last run here. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope.

Missed by a narrow margin last run at this track and good career start. Looking sharp on the track since returning from a break. Expect support.

Was $36.00 and right up there last start at the track. Likely to settle back in the field. Has to improve out of sight.

Solid run when finishing 3rd beaten by 8m last run at this venue. Driver Ake Svanstedt is a bonus. Shows good finishing speed. One for the exotics.

Just missed last start here and putting a tidy record together. In a purple patch of form since coming back from a spell. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Started $7.00 and struggled with the pace when 9th last run at the track. Is capable of a resurgence. Has plenty of early speed. Must respect.

Was $43.00 and close up last run around here. Won't be far away during the run. Driver Johnathan Ahle and trainer Ake Svanstedt go well together. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

At $63.00 finished 6th last time here. Likely to get back in the run. Very unlikely to shake these.
