The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
BLUEBIRD LADYCHUCK (2) won at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This should be an easier assignment so he is in the right race to return to winning ways. WILD BILL KELSO (8) made it three wins in succession when he scored by 1.5 metres last time out here at this trip. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Primary contender in this comparable race. GUIDO DI (1) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. ALL CHAMPY (4) disappointed last time when sixth over 1609m at Northfield Park. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at Cumberland Run, beaten 6 m by Clear For Landing (1:53.30) in OPEN on October 26 at $8.45. Before that 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Sforza (1:54.20) in NW6900L4 on October 8 at $3.90. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Guido Di at this track over 1609m in a NW6550L4 on October 29 at $1.90. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Stay Close at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on November 5 at $1.60. Chief contender.
