The Meadows Pa Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609m
BUCKEYE BARON (5) Close up last time at this track. Driver Aaron Merriman is in form. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. BRIGHT BLUE CHIP (2) Was agonizingly close last start around here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has early speed and positions nicely. Has to be included. SECRET TRADER (8) Finished 4th last time at the track. Giving another go here. Should come to hand quickly. Driver Dave Palone is a strong choice aboard. In the mix. OU MASTER LHF (1) Missed by a narrow margin last time at this track and can save some energy from the draw. Can win this.

Just short of the win last time at the track and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Definite contender.
