Meadowlands Race 12 - Race 12
BENNY J (6) resumes after finishing eighth at his latest appearance at Yonkers Raceway on February 27. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. MR PENNER (3) won at Pocono Downs two runs ago before finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 16 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. SUGAR PACKET (4) is better than her last-start eighth over 1609m at this track. GREEN MAZTAKE (2) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at Pocono Downs last time out.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Avenzee at this track over 1609m in a 3YOF NW2 on June 6 at $11.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind I Take The Cake at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a TSS 3YOF on June 14 at $15.70. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 4.5 m by Geronimo Trio (1:56.00) in NW5PM on June 18 at $4.90. Before that beaten 90 metres, seventh at Pocono Downs over 1609m W2-5PM on June 9. Will struggle.
