The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
CRIMSON CROWN (3) Even though fading late still placed 3rd last start at Oak Grove and showing consistent performance in races. Has shown early pace in races to date. One of the major players. CIROCCO (7) Was agonizingly close last run around here. Shows good early pace. Goes close. RIVER COLE (1) Looked good when 3rd last run around here and drawn beautifully. Should be going forward early. Could pose a threat and looks promising. BIGMANBALLIN (5) Just shy of the win last start here and promising career start. Has plenty of early speed. Been in the money on multiple occasions this preparation. Has to be included.

Was competitive when 3rd last run here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Has definite claims.

Jumped at $18.00 and came in 8th last run at the track. Won't be far away during the run. Will need to lift.

Although peaking on the run still placed 3rd last start at Oak Grove and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Good chance at a nice price.

On a short turnaround. Started $43.00 and finished 7th last start at Northfield Park. Dave Palone is a bonus. Prefer in an easier race.
