Meadowlands Race 8 - Race 8
SOUTHWIND MAC (5) produced another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. CUSTOM FIT (2) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 4 metres into third at this track. No reason he cannot take this out. FABULOUS FREDDIE (8) has put the writing on the wall with a couple of seconds recently, the latest at this track over 1609m.

Last start 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Calderone (1:56.00) on April 10 at $43.40. Two runs back 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway beaten 35 m by Shake N Bake (1:58.00) in NAADA S L2 on March 26 at $33.02. This appears outside his grasp.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following April 3 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.9 m (Fr3) at this track (1:57.40) beating Saint Patrick in TM<71CD on April 10 at $12.40. This race will be harder than that win. Can't make much of a case.
