Meadowlands Race 9 - Race 9
BRAVE BY DESIGN (10) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.25 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. GILLYS DE VIE (4) was in the money two runs ago then found the frame again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 4.5 metres from the winner in third. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. NICCOLO (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. ROCK MY UNIVERSE (1) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Remarkable De Vie at this track over 1609m on May 29 at $6.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Hoofbeats De Vie at this track over 1609m in a NW2500L5CD on June 5 at $10.50. Should be right in the finish.

Seven-year-old entire showed improvement last time. 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Niccolo (1:55.00) on June 11 at $9.80. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh behind Breezy Hall at Philadelphia over 1609m in a 10-15CL HC on June 4 at $16.90. This is likely to prove too tough.
