Meadowlands Race 8 - Race 8
GRAND CAYMAN (1) finished third last start, beaten 10 metres at Pocono Downs over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating. SEEN HERE (7) filled a minor placing at Philadelphia two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. CHEVRON ART N (5) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at Tioga Downs three weeks ago. EUPHORIA N (6) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 21 m by Lusaka (1:51.30) in NW10001-4 on July 5 at $27.64. At the previous start 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at Running Aces Casino & Racetrack beaten 18 m by Alta Revelry (1:50.40) in OPN HCP on June 16 at $10.30. Good enough to turn things around.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back posted a big 4 m win (Fr6) at Philadelphia (1:52.20) beating Morrone Dolce in NW2500L5 on July 12 at $8.60. Last start just missed, solid effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.9 m by Blank Stare (1:51.10) on July 18 at $42.80. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.
