The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M
PIXIE STARDUST (3) comes off a solid 3rd at The Meadows over 1609m, beaten 3.5L after leading for much of the race, and was runner-up at the same track and trip the start prior. CHARCUTERIE (1) finished 3rd and 2nd in her last two runs at The Meadows, including a close 2nd over this distance three starts back. HANGER ONE (2) was 4th at The Meadows last start and placed 2nd at The Red Mile last season. RT CRUISING IN (7) resumes after a long break but was 2nd at The Meadows over 1609m on debut.

Has finished 6th in four of her last five starts, most recently at The Meadows over 1609m when beaten 15.75L behind Bailey's Pleeze. Remains winless after 10 career runs at this trip and track. Apprentice claim is noted but recent margins have been significant. Needs to lift to feature.
