The Meadows Pa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609M
PONDA ADVENTURE (4) was responsible for a far better performance last time out, finishing second over 1609m at this track. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat again. COUNTRY DAGGER (1) ran ninth last start at Scioto Downs over 1609m, beaten 60 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. I LOVE MY MVP (6) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. SMASH THE RAIL (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m.

The run previous 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing, beaten 19 m by Brodeur (1:54.00) in NW7500L4CD on May 12 at $49.50. Worth another chance.
