The Meadows Pa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m
BEL RAGAZZO (5) Worked hard to place 3rd last run at Pocono Downs. Should be going forward early. More confidence with driver Dave Palone guiding the horse. Placed at every start this preparation. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. HADES HANOVER (2) Just short of the win last start at Pocono Downs. Has the potential to improve sharply. Underrated. RUGGED CHARM (4) Close up last time around here and having second career run. Has shown early pace in races to date. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat. SA'S TIKI BAR (3) Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Appears well in this.

Started $25.00 and came in 7th last start here but fitter for debut run. Expected to settle towards the tail. Gets a favourable draw. This won't be easy.

Right up there last time at this venue and was on debut last time. Should muster plenty of early speed. Can feature in this event.

Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 3rd last run at Pocono Downs. Should jump out and bowl along. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Has the ratings to win this.

Started $36.00 and weakened to finish 8th last start at the track but having second race start. Might be ridden for luck. Risky betting proposition.

Was $15.00 and weakened under pressure when 6th last time at this venue. May see an upturn in form. Definite winning chance.
