Meadowlands Race 8 - Race 8
AINTMYFIRSTRODEO (11) Missed by a narrow margin last run here and hard to fault at the distance. Been in the money 5 from 5 attempts this preparation and top record so far. Suitably placed in this race. HUNT ME DOWN (2) Finished 5th last start at Vernon Downs. In the placings multiple times this preparation. Knockout chance in this. DEBONAIRE (6) Ran 7th last run at The Red Mile. Cracking each way value. WISHAWAVE (10) Finished 9th last start at The Red Mile but will be well suited at the trip. Should muster plenty of early speed. Solid each way claims. Something for the Multiples: AINTMYFIRSTRO DEO (11)
