Meadowlands Race 11 - Race 11

BEST CHIP (5) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. VOUKEFALAS (6) had been building to a win and it arrived at his latest appearance when he scored by 6 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. DOWNBYTHEWATER (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Pocono Downs over 1609m. WORLD OF WISHES (3) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Pocono Downs a week ago.
