Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5
BE PERFECT BG (4) resumes from a spell of nine months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 1609m at this track. Sure to prove hard to beat on her return. SHE STINGS (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 0.9 metres from the winner. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. PERFECT THOUGHT (3) is in the mix at her first run since finishing third over 1609m at this track five-and-a-half months ago. SUNNY STATION (9) is the next elect off a last-start win by 5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.3 m third behind Sangria Summer at Mohawk Park over 1609m 5yo FM last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fourth again at Mohawk Park same class on April 17. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
