The Meadows Pa Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
BE A BUCKEYE (3) Was very impressive when winning by 5m last start at Athens and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should come to hand quickly. In good order this preparation. This suits. BLACK RUSSIAN CCL (4) Close to a win last run around here. Winning hope. SKYLINE SERGEANT (2) Looked outclassed when 5th last time at this track. Should bounce back. Displays good tactical speed. Looks a winning hope. TAG'S OBSESSION (6) Right up there last time at the track. Driver Aaron Merriman is a strong choice aboard. First four hope.

Jumped at $25.00 and just missed last time at this track and has minimal work to do from the alley. Might be ridden for luck. Very unlikely.

Odds of $19.00 and didn't find the line when 5th last time around here. Should bounce back. Has plenty of early speed. A threat to the other main hopes.

Won with a leg in the air by 5m last start at Athens and promising career start. Should be going forward early. Going well this preparation. Expect a bold effort.

Was $28.00 and below par when 7th last start at the track. Does take a while to get into stride. Priced to finish behind most.

Jumped at $3.25 and narrowly denied a win last time around here. Driver Aaron Merriman is a plus. Few more classier types in this race.
