The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
CADY HILL (4) appeals as the leading chance, coming off a strong 2nd last start and showing consistent recent form with two placings from the past five runs. DIAL TONE (5) and CAPTAIN ABRAHAM (6) have both placed recently and are among the main threats, while AMAZING MAC (7) has also managed a placing in recent starts. Expect Cady Hill (4) to be prominent again in this line-up.

Finished 7th of 8 at The Meadows over 1609m on 8 Apr, beaten a long way after settling midfield, at $81. Steps out from barrier 8 with Justin Irvine riding for Carl Cocciolone. Needs to lift on exposed form but can improve with experience.
