Meadowlands Race 4 - Race 4
STERL THE PEARL (2) Narrowly denied a win last start at this track and ideal distance as proven previously. Has early speed and positions nicely. Racing consistently this campaign and solid career start. Has the ability to take this out. PERFECT HOPE DEO (5) Made every post a winner when winning by a neck last time at this venue and have to respect the form at the distance. Unbeaten last 2 runs. In the mix. PHILLY'S STING (8) Won by a neck last time at Pocono Downs and strong performer at this trip in the past. Made it 2 wins on the trot. Expecting to settle positively. Can feature. REAL CHOICE (4) Ran 5th last time at Batavia Downs but showing consistent performance in races. Driver Jason J Bartlett is a plus. In top form this campaign. Will be competitive.

Came on strongly to finish 3rd last start at this venue and drawn beautifully. Likely to get back. Facing a difficult task today.

Just shy of the win last start at the track and strong form at this trip. Shows good early pace. Very competitive this campaign. Can take this out.

Ran 5th last time at Batavia Downs but promising career start. More confidence with driver Jason J Bartlett guiding the horse. In good shape since returning from a break. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Controlled the speed when winning by a margin of a neck last time at this track and proven runner at this trip. On a winning streak the last 2 attempts. Strong claims.

Narrowly beaten last start at Harrah's Philadelphia. Should muster plenty of early speed. Tim A Tetrick is a key booking. Couldn't have in this.

Finished on top by a neck last time at Pocono Downs and suited at this trip in the past. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. One of the punters top hopes.
