The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M
JR STRIKE THREE (3) had been racing in great heart then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 0.9 metres from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another bold race. ALTA BLUES A (1) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 10 metres. Expect him to be prominent. TWICE THE ICE (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. MAJOR KEY (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on May 2.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Major Key at this track over 1609m in a 7500CLM on April 24 at $5.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Miki's Big Guy at this track over 1609m in a 7500CLM on May 2 at $17.90. Definite winning chance.
