Meadowlands Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
VITAL (3) First up after 397 weeks and was strong on the speed before fading to finish 2nd first up last preparation at Tampa Bay Downs. Should muster plenty of early speed. Will go well. SPECIAL MIKE (6) Initial appearance 2yo by Liam's Map for Alexis Delgado. Kleiner A Mejias provides some weight relief. Watch the betting. TE AMO SERGIO (5) Weakened under pressure when 4th last time at Monmouth Park. Should improve here and having second race start. Displays good tactical speed. Solid place bet prospects. CHRISTOPHER RUNNIN (7) First race appearance 2yo by Jack Christopher for Robert A Werneth. Watch the market.

At $36.00 performed below standard when 12th last start at Belmont Park but fitter for debut run. Might be ridden for luck. Gets a favourable gate. Pass at this stage.

Started at $18.00 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last run at Belmont Park but will try to take advantage of the alley. Can't leave out of your calculations.

First up after 397 weeks and big effort to place 2nd first up last preparation at Tampa Bay Downs. Should race on the speed. Paco Lopez rates highly. Tough competitor.

Was $12.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 4th last time at Monmouth Park. Should improve here and having second career run. Won't be far away during the run. Represents value in this race.

Career debut 2yo by Liam's Map for Alexis Delgado. The large claim from Kleiner A Mejias should help. Respect the betting.
