The Meadows Pa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609m
STRAPPED (1) Finished well when winning last run at Harrah's Philadelphia and strong form at the distance. Unbeaten last 2 starts and solid career start. Has plenty of early speed. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. SCARPA (3) Close to claiming the win last run at Meadowlands and strong form at the distance. Stable have opted for a driver change with Tyler Buter aboard. Can win this. FRIDAY NIGHT FATS (7) Rounded them up when winning last start at Harrah's Philadelphia and will be well suited at the trip. Can't knock the form winning 3 in a row. Likely threat. LIONS TALE (6) Just missed last run at Harrah's Philadelphia and promising career start. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Ronnie Wrenn Jr rates highly aboard. Worth a ticket.
