Meadowlands Race 11 - Race 11
SHADOW DELIGHT (8) produced a strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. GONNA BE A STAR (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 14 metres at Dover Downs over 1609m. ALMOST KAREN (4) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on March 27.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 m by Always Be City (1:54.00) on March 27 at $72.90. Before that 4th (Fr8) over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 12 m by Delta Three (1:56.00) in FMNW3000L5 on March 15 at $71.27. Likely to struggle.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following March 27 run. Last start posted a big 13 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:55.20) beating Countess Mara in FMTM<68CD on April 3 at $3.10. This race will be harder than that win. Prepared to just watch.

Three-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Dover Downs both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 14 m win as favourite (Fr3) at Dover Downs (1:53.20) beating Pure Decision in FMNW2 on April 1 at $2. Recent form hard to fault and is again a strong contender.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m second behind Century Lexus at this track over 1609m FMTM<68CD last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres second again at this track same class on March 27. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
