Meadowlands Race 1 - Race 1
BEST CHIP (2) has recorded three wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Didn't let supporters down at his latest appearance when he got the job done by 6 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of another big performance. FIFTH AND FIVE (1) finished fifth last start, beaten 15 metres at this track over 1609m. Expect him to be prominent. CELTIC SPIRIT N (8) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway last time out. WISH YOU WELL (5) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Philadelphia two weeks ago.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Captain Optimistic at this track over 1609m in a GRADUATE F-G2 on July 4 at $56. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 11 m by Fallout (1:47.40) in GRADUATE on June 20 at $17.20. Strong winning prospects.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following June 6 run. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at this track (1:49.20) beating South Beach Star in NW10500L5 on June 20 at $6.80. This race will be harder than that win. Prepared to just watch.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m second behind Wish You Well at Philadelphia over 1609m NW15000L5 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres second again at Philadelphia in W/O 10K on June 7. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.
