Meadowlands Race 9 - Race 9
BEST CHIP (1) finished second two starts ago then registered a commanding victory last time out, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of taking this out. CAPTAIN CRUSADER A (2) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last six starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at Philadelphia. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. ODDS ON WILDFIRE (7) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Pocono Downs last time out. WATER SPORTS TEEN (3) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Racing consistently. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Philadelphia (1:48.30) beating Young Bluey in NW15000L5 on June 28 at $1.60. No reason he cannot get the job done again.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Twisted Destiny at Philadelphia over 1609m in a W/O 10K on June 7 at $17.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Wish You Well at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on June 21 at $6. Capable of a strong showing.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 9th (Fr2) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 23 m by Double Lou (1:50.00) in 4yo LR on February 21 at $16. Will find this a tough assignment; prefer later.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 16 m by Wehadababyetzaboy (1:49.30) in NW16000L5 on June 14 at $4.50. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 4 m win (Fr2) at Philadelphia (1:50.30) beating Divine Right in NW15000L5 on June 7 at $2.70. Can do a lot better.
