The Meadows Pa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
BEL RAGAZZO (2) Struggled with the pace when 6th last start at Pocono Downs. Can show a better performance this time. Has plenty of early speed. Serious player. KEYSTONE AUGUSTA (5) Didn't attack the line when 7th last time at this track. Likely to bounce back. Has early speed and positions nicely. Running with confidence this preparation. One of the hopes. HADES HANOVER (3) Competed in a tight contest last start here. Has the potential to improve sharply. Include in chances. SPARKLING LINDY (4) Despite being out sprinted still placed 3rd beaten by 7.25m last time at Pocono Downs. Ronnie Wrenn Jr is a bonus. Not out of this.

Started $6.00 and came in 6th last start at this venue but gets a favourable alley. Should get going late. Can't back with any confidence.

Didn't threaten when 6th last start at Pocono Downs. Can show a better performance this time. Shows good early pace. In good shape since coming back from a spell. Good winning chance.

Narrowly denied victory last start at the track. Has the potential to improve sharply. Some respect.

Claimed late when 3rd beaten by 7.25m last time at Pocono Downs. Ronnie Wrenn Jr is a pivotal booking. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Weakened under pressure when 7th last time at the track. Likely to bounce back. Displays good tactical speed. Has been a model of consistency since returning from a break. Can go close.
