Meadowlands Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M
SMOOCH IN THE DARK (10) had been about the mark in recent runs before the latest appearance when he scored by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. DUNSAN HARRY (7) had been about the mark consistently then was again in fine form last start when he finished second over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres to make it three minor placings from his past four starts. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can feature prominently again. CELLMATE (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. BET A BUNDLE (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on March 28.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 19 m by Smooch In The Dark (1:51.30) in MADC 2 on March 28 at $10.60. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 6 m win (Fr5) at this track (1:52.30) beating Rilkoff in TM<74.5CD on March 14 at $5.10. Keep him in mind.

Well beaten last start by Smooch In The Dark, who he meets again; when 21 metres sixth at this track over 1609m in a MADC 2 race on March 28. Can't have on that basis.
