The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
YANKEE BOSS (3) Controlled the speed when winning by a margin of 4.75m last run at Pocono Downs and fitter for debut run. Won't be far away during the run. One of the major players. SUNSET STATION (1) Joe Bongiorno trained 2yo by Greenshoe having first race start and has drawn to do little work. Dave Palone is highly regarded. Watch early betting. DREAM SHAQ (8) Ran on hard when winning last time at Pocono Downs and was on debut last time. Driver Dexter J Dunn is in top form for this stable. Genuine winning chance. JIMDOUGIE ARMITAGE (5) First start at the races 2yo by Captain Corey for Ake Svanstedt. Ake Svanstedt is a key booking. Betting is the best guide.

Led and controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 4.75m last run at Pocono Downs and having second race start. Likely to be well placed early. Can measure up against these.

Competed in a tight contest last run at Pocono Downs and having second career run. Should be going forward early. Will need a big effort to win this.

2yo debutant by Captain Corey for Ake Svanstedt. More confidence with driver Ake Svanstedt guiding the horse. Watch the market.

Close to a win last time at Scioto Downs and fitter for debut run. Expected to settle towards the rear. Highly unlikely to feature here.
