The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
PARTY CENTRAL (2) was disappointing last start when 30 metres from the winner in eighth over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Best form reference might be his win at this track four starts back. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the class to return to something like his best. UNIVERSAL (4) turned in an uncharacteristically poor run last time out when 11 metres away in seventh over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. EL'S ROCKER (1) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway five days ago. THE BOSS SAID (5) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth at Pocono Downs over 1609m.

Last start 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten 12 m by Burnham Boy (1:52.40) in SA20000CL on February 15 at $5.90. At the run before game effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten a neck by Bronx Seelster (1:52.30) in NW3251L4 on February 2 at $2.60. Going okay so keep him safe.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Sure Thing Captain (1:54.10) in 20000CLHC on February 6 at $55.30. Others favoured.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 11 m by Captain Cowboy (1:54.20) in NW4250L4 on February 6 at $30.90. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.25 m (Fr3) at this track (1:55.40) beating Google My Chrome in NW2875L4 on January 31 at $4.90. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.
