The Meadows Pa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M
SPACE CAPTAIN (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. WORTHFUL SAM (4) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. HENRY SUGAR (1) is a three-year-old colt by Tall Dark Stranger from Sweet Lady Jane on debut. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Three-year-old colt by Tall Dark Stranger out of Sweet Lady Jane on debut. Showed ability when he won at The Meadows in a trial on January 28 over 1609m. A bit of a push for him in early discussions is worth noting.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Fear The Panda (1:59.40) in NW1EXTPM on January 28 at $6.70. The run before 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Like A Doctor (1:58.40) in NW1EXTPM on January 21 at $11.60. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Resuming after a layoff of six months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when sixth at very big odds behind A Bit Of Spirits. This looks too tough.
