Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5
CAR KEYS (2) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. LADYSASSIN (3) is one of the main contenders after winning her past two starts, the latest at Plainridge Park a week-and-a-half ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. PA PERFECT (5) last appeared when fifth over 1609m at this track five months ago. Must be respected.

First up. At the last run she won by 9 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:52.40) beating Whoa Black Betty in NJ SDF F on November 22 at $2.30. Capable of taking this out.

Only had 3 starts last preparation. Returned to racing with a handy win a big 13 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Plainridge Park (1:54.00) beating Perfect Smile in FMNW2PMLT on April 14 at $1.50. Worth sticking with after that strong first-up win.

Showed a glimmer of form last start 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 3 m by Maggie Q (1:54.40) in FMNW1PM on April 10 at $13.80. But The run before was well beaten into tenth behind Pink Lumiere at this track over 1609m on March 27 at $75.20. Not a chance on recent form.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr4) at Philadelphia (1:57.30) beating Lady Oakley in 2YO NW2 on July 4 at $1.40. Capable of playing a major role despite the layoff.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start unplaced (Fr5) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, well beaten by Rain Or Shine (1:53.20) in NW1PM FM on March 30 at $1.30. At the previous start 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Miss Jum Jabber (1:51.10) in FM5U NW2CD on March 20 at $2.20. Worth another chance. Leading player.
