The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M

SWEET BALLAD (4) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 4 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Primary contender based on recent form. SADHAKA N (7) was disappointing last start when 9 metres from the winner in sixth over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway. Best form reference might be her win at Miami Valley Raceway four starts back. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. KANDY KISS (2) is hard to overlook after scoring first-up last start by 4 metres at this track over 1609m. ADALECIA (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Lastchanceforlove at this track over 1609m in a FMW3NW5EXT on February 12 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Kandy Kiss at this track over 1609m in a FMW2NW3EXT on February 26 at $1.50. Definite winning chance.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Kandy Kiss (1:52.40) in FMW2NW3EXT on February 26 at $4.30. Two runs back won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:55.30) beating You Fear Me in FMW1NW4CLM on February 19 at $1.10. Makes plenty of appeal.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten 9 m by Woodrow Blue Chip (1:52.20) in NW4PM on February 17 at $3.30. At the previous start 6th (Fr9) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten 9 m by Butchershop Buck (1:52.40) in NW4PM on February 3 at $4.40. Watch for a far better effort this time.
