Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5
SEVEN SEAGRAMS (2) Flew home to win last start at Pocono Downs and hard to fault at the trip. Should muster plenty of early speed. Driver Tim A Tetrick adds value. Genuine threat. HL KAPARA (4) Faded to finish 5th last run at Saratoga Harness. Can show a better performance this time and good career start. Won't be far away during the run. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. EMOTICA (1) Came in 6th last start at this venue but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Exhibiting good form this preparation and has drawn to do little work. Must be considered. SPECIAL ORCHID (6) Was agonizingly close last time here. Possesses good closing speed. Rough hope for punters.

At $15.00 passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last time at this venue. Has a great burst of speed late. Looking at others.

Faded in the late stages of the race when 3rd beaten by 5.25m last time at this track. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Cannot be tipped.

Threw down a serious challenge last time around here. Expected to be flashing home. Would not recommend.

Close to claiming the win last start at the track and putting a tidy record together so far. Too much luck needed to come into contention.
