Meadowlands Race 2 - Race 2
DIABOLIC HILL (9) has raced two times this campaign and has filled a minor placing on each occasion. Produced yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. NEIGHVER PUNT (2) made it two on the trot last start when he got the cash by 1.75 metres over 1609m at Mohawk Park. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. MAGIC PUNK (4) is a genuine type who was a solid second most recently at Mohawk Park. Hard to rule out in what looks a suitable assignment. HIGHLAND DESTINY (5) is tough to leave out on the back of four successive wins, most recently at Pocono Downs four weeks ago.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following June 5 run. Last start posted a big 35 m win as favourite (Fr3) at Pocono Downs (1:54.20) beating Almost Free in NW1PM on June 23 at $1.05. This race will be harder than that win. Minor claims at best.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Mohawk Park both over 1609m. Last start won by 1.75 m at Mohawk Park (1:52.00) beating Magic Punk in 3yo CG on June 13 at $3.50 at the bell was 4th-. In terrific form and is the one to beat again.

Well-beaten 8 days ago at this track over 1609m, and two back 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 45 m by La Mancha (1:55.00) in NW1PM on June 14 at $4.70. Difficult to enthuse based on recent efforts.

Scored at his last four starts. Last start won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr7) at Pocono Downs (1:54.10) beating Minoan in PASS 3YOCG on June 6 at $1.80. Hard to leave out on current form. Must be considered.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Endurance at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a PASS 3YOCG on June 6 at $23.90. Then a handy effort when a close second behind David Seaman at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW5PM on June 25 at $3.40. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Highway Six at Buffalo Raceway over 1609m NYSS last start. Before that was beaten 0.8 metres second at Vernon Downs in EBC on June 12. Racing well and not without merit.
