The Meadows Pa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M
TOM LARGO (6) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then recorded a commanding win last start, scoring by 9 metres over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating once more. HARLEM HANOVER (4) made it two wins from his last three appearances eight days ago, getting home by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. BEST MET YET (5) is one of the main contenders after winning his past three starts, the latest at this track two weeks ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. GOLD PAIGE (2) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at this track.

Finished up last campaign with a win at this track, but hasn't been as effective this campaign with a first-up effort 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Greentea (1:56.00) in NW8400L4 on April 17 at $1.80. Then last time 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Wistful Blue Chip (1:53.00) in W3NW7EXTPM on April 24 at $12. Looking to others.

Has won at her last four outings. Last start posted a big 16 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:55.20) beating Vickis Moni in FMW3NW6EXT on May 7 at $1.10. Hard to leave out on current form. Each-way chance.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 12 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:56.00) beating Just Like Magic in NW1750L4 on May 6 at $1.50. Two runs back 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 18 m by Wistful Blue Chip (1:53.00) in W3NW7EXTPM on April 24 at $43.50. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at this track (1:54.30) beating Minoan in TSS-3YOCG on May 8 at $4.90. No surprise if he made it two in succession.

Racing in great heart. Last start posted a big 9 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Miami Valley Raceway (1:54.40) beating Max The Mighty in OHSS 3C on May 2 at $1.10. Going well enough to take this out.
