Meadowlands Race 8 - Race 8
ANTOGNONI S (6) scored a decisive win last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by 12 metres in a dominant display. Stepping up a level this time but he is good enough to take this out. LEXUS KODY (5) last appeared when successful over 1609m at this track on November 15, capping off a fine prep that saw him salute on 11 occasions. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. ARI FERRARI J (4) resumes. Last appeared when a modest ninth over 1609m at Philadelphia four months ago. HEY PORTER (2) must be included after winning his past three starts, the latest at Pocono Downs a week ago.

Well beaten last start by Antognoni, who he meets again; when 215 metres tenth at this track over 1609m in a W/O race on April 10. Can't see him featuring.

First up. At the last run he 9th (Fr7) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 40 m by Benjamin Hanover (1:54.10) in W/O 10K on December 28 at $1.90. Worth serious consideration.

Resuming after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign recording by 6 m (Fr6) at this track (1:51.00) beating Periculum in FANDUEL on November 15 at $3.30. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 9 m win as favourite (Fr4) at Yonkers Raceway (1:55.10) beating Ferretti in NW20000L5 on April 3 2025 at $1.75. Strong winning hope.
