The Meadows Pa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609m
Low-depth maiden-type profiles. NAVISTAR (1) draws the pole after a 5th here over 1609m on 28 May, beaten 3L after racing handy, and looks the safest option. OTTOMAN (2) resumes locally off a 6th here over 1609m on 6 May in a stronger class and can settle closer from gate 2. JAYBIRD (7) has multiple placings at the trip and was 3rd here in Nov 2025, though recent runs have been plain. HOSHI HANOVER (9) has been finishing midfield at Saratoga and Vernon and could grind into a minor with a cart into it. Something for the Multiples: NAVISTAR (1)

First-up run was 8th of 8 at The Meadows over 1609m on 20 May, always rearward, at $41. Trained by Dean Collins; Kyle Bolon rides from barrier 5. Unraced beyond that debut and stays at the trip. Needs to improve but not without hope.

Has been around the mark earlier but recent results have dipped. Last start 8th of 9 after settling midfield at The Meadows over 1609m on 20 May, beaten 9L on GD at $13. Prior run 7th of 7 there over 1609m on 6 May, beaten 10.5L in 69 class. Consistent placegetter overall at the trip but needs to lift; has place claims with a kinder run.
