The Meadows Pa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
OPS MEARAS S (5) Was eating up the ground late to win last run at Pocono Downs and proven performer at this distance. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 runs. No surprise to see a win. BLYTHE HANOVER (4) Ran on hard when winning last start here and strong performer at the distance. Made it 2 wins in succession. Expected to be flashing home. Serious player. THE CAPTAIN'S WIFE (3) Missed by a narrow margin last start at Pocono Downs and ideal distance as proven previously. Change in driver with Ronnie Wrenn Jr steering and putting a tidy record together. Solid place bet prospects. GINGER TREE DARLA (2) Closed off nicely when 4th last time at Pocono Downs. More confidence with driver Aaron Merriman guiding the horse. Possesses very good finishing speed. Can run into the money.

Just missed last time at Pocono Downs and gets a favourable draw. Racing consistently this campaign and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Others are more appealing.

Crept into 4th last time at Pocono Downs. Will be hitting the line strongly. Great to see driver Aaron Merriman taking the ride. Will need to find a few more lengths.

Just missed last start at Pocono Downs and hard to fault at this distance. Ronnie Wrenn Jr takes over today and showing consistent performance in races. Racing consistently this prep. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.

Finished with purpose when winning last start around here and suited at this distance in the past. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Finishes off strongly. Solid chance.

Strong effort to the line to win last run at Pocono Downs and have to respect the form at the distance. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the trot. Holds a major chance.
