Meadowlands Race 9 - Race 9
SABA ROCK (8) made a nice return at his latest appearance two weeks ago, finishing 1.5 metres away in second over 1609m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. Big chance in a similar assignment. VOUKEFALAS (7) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1609m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. WISH YOU WELL (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. DONT DROP THE BALL (2) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Odds On Wildfire at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on April 11 at $5.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Oakwood Ardan at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on April 18 at $7.10. Going along well. Top prospects.
