Meadowlands Race 2 - Race 2
ZEPPOLE HANOVER (9) resumes after great success last prep, winning on seven occasions and culminating in a fifth over 1609m at The Red Mile on August 17. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Sure to be ready to run well. ROCKIN THE ACES (7) ran seventh last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 5 metres. Expect him to be prominent. PAROUSIA (3) is a genuine type who was a solid third most recently at Pocono Downs. Hard to rule out in what looks a suitable assignment. LINDY THE BRAVE (8) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on April 4.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Rilkoff (1:52.40) on March 28 at $3. Two runs back won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:53.10) beating Try Line in TM<71CD on March 14 at $1.60. Racing very well. Strong claims.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at Rosecroft Raceway beaten 7 m by Always Say Yes (1:54.40) in MPW2-3PM on March 30 at $4.30. Before that 10th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 16 m by Ooglesaurus (1:55.10) on March 21 at $73.90. Likely to find it too tough.
