The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
HUNGRY MARCO (3) Narrowly beaten last time at this venue and have to respect the form at this distance. Should race on the speed. Can go on with it. LOUNADO (9) Rounded them up to win last run at Pocono Downs and hard to fault at the trip. Displays good tactical speed. Going well this campaign and good career start. One of the major players. SASSINATOR (8) Close up last run around here. Has been a model of consistency since returning from a spell. Driver Aaron Merriman adds value. Can take this out. SLINKY DAWG (2) Was eating up the ground late when winning last start at the track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Will be motoring home late. Honest enough to be an each way player.
