The Meadows Pa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m
KEYSTONE AUGUSTA (1) Missed by a narrow margin last run here and have to respect the form at the distance. Likely to be well placed early. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Strong chance. BLACK TESLA (6) Made every post a winner to win by a margin of 1m last time at Harrah's Philadelphia and having second race start. Won't be far away during the run. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. VAPORETTO (5) Was eating up the ground late when winning last time at Pocono Downs. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Can go through the gears. Could pose a threat and looks promising. BIGMANBALLIN (3) Missed by a narrow margin last time around here and good career start. In a purple patch of form since resuming from a break. Has a nice turn of foot. In the mix.

Close to a win last run here and hard to fault at the distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Gets the perfect draw. Strong claims.

Took charge of the race to win by 1m last time at Harrah's Philadelphia and fitter for debut run. Displays good tactical speed. Will go close.

Ran 5th last start at Pocono Downs. Might have to make up considerable ground. Looks hopeful at best.
