Meadowlands Race 6 - Race 6

PRINCE HAL HANOVER (5) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last six starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. CAPTAIN OPTIMISTIC (4) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can salute once again. GO GO GRASSHOPPER (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck when resuming at this track over 1609m. SWINGTOWN (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Solid performance when a close second behind Mossdale Ben at Northfield Park over 1609m in a BATTLE-G2 on June 6 at $7.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.0 m finishing third behind Ervin Hanover at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a CUP on June 13 at $4.10. Capable of a strong showing.
