Meadowlands Race 9 - Race 9

LIBERTY'S WILDCARD (3) had to call on all reserves to salute last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just a neck. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. ISLANDGIRL HANOVER (4) resumes from a spell of eight months after showing some very good form last campaign, the last run being a fifth over 1609m at Philadelphia. Will have plenty of admirers. SOUTHWIND MAC (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at this track over 1609m. INTL BLOCKADE (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at Pocono Downs last time out.
