Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5
HALF PAST MIDNIGHT (9) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Recent efforts are good enough to take out a race like this. LOVENBURY (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 0.6 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is in the right race to find the winners' list. LOUIS LITT N (10) disappointed last time when ninth over 1609m at this track. Can atone. HUNGRYHUNGRY HIPPO (6) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 m by Spirit Of Stlouis (1:54.00) in MADC 2 on April 11 at $55.10. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 7 m finishing seventh behind Dunsan Harry at this track over 1609m in a MADC 2 on April 4 at $15.30. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.

Last start was well beaten into ninth behind Invictus at this track over 1609m on April 4 at $43.10. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Mansertive (1:52.20) on March 28 at $5.20. Should be right in the finish.
