Meadowlands Race 8 - Race 8
PAPIS PISTOL (2) ran seventh last start at Pocono Downs over 1609m, beaten 30 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the ability to take this out. SOUTHWIND GENDRY (8) scored at Philadelphia two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 0.9 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Won't find this any harder and he can give this a mighty shake. AVANTI (5) ended last prep with a second at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. EFFINGHAM (6) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 1609m at this track last time out.
