The Meadows Pa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609M
ALL BETTS ON LOVE (3) has raced two times this prep and has filled a minor placing on each occasion. Went well again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and 25 metres from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Leading hope based on what we have seen of late. HENRY SUGAR (1) finished seventh last start, beaten 90 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. CAPTAIN ABRAHAM (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m. Must be included. DANCIN COMMANDER (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Stingman (1:53.30) in NW1EXTPM on February 18 at $12.60. Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.9 m (Fr1) at this track (1:58.30) beating Ten K Obo in NW1EXTPM on February 11 at $3.40. Chief contender.

Finished second at his last two starts since resuming from a spell. Last outing was beaten 25 metres behind Stingman at this track over 1609m NW1EXTPM on February 18. Capable of testing this line-up.

Five-year-old gelding by Stolen Glimpse out of Pacific Wine having his first start. Showed ability when third at The Meadows in a trial on February 18 over 1609m. No surprise to see a bright start to his career.

Lines up again after a break of 16 months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when seventh at very long odds behind Time Crunch. Predicted to struggle.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Stingman (1:53.30) in NW1EXTPM on February 18 at $77.20. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Returns after six-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into seventh behind Major Drama at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a NW1PMLTCD on August 10 at $11.20. Should be right in the finish.

Well beaten last start by Henry Sugar, who he meets again; when 25 metres sixth at this track over 1609m in a NW1EXTPM race on February 11. Can't have on that basis.
