The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
DETONATE (1) Greenshoe 2yo trained by Marcus M Melander having first race start and can save some energy from the alley. Betting is the best guide. ROYAL REID (4) Finished 3rd last time here and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Likely to be well placed early. Will be in the finish. FRIDAY NIGHT FATS (7) Close to claiming the win last time at this venue. Happy to forgive that run. Driver Dave Palone is an asset. Could pose a threat and looks promising. SKYLINE SERGEANT (3) Managed to place 3rd last run here. Will be positive in the run early. Can measure up to this company.

Made some ground late when 3rd last run at the track. Should race on the speed. Quietly confident of a big run at decent odds.

Tidy run when 3rd last time around here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has early speed and positions nicely. Will be fighting out the finish.

Was agonizingly close last time at this track. Happy to forgive that run. Driver Dave Palone is in form. Looks like solid value.
