Meadowlands Race 8 - Race 8
BRANDON BLVD (2) is a talented colt who has managed four wins and two minor placings from six starts this prep. Kept the ball rolling last time when he scored over 1609m at this track, getting home by 0.6 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SEA BISTRO HANOVER (6) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing, getting home by 1.5 metres. Finds a suitable assignment and can grab another win. FRANTIC HANOVER (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at The Meadows last time out. TOAST OF THE TOWN (1) disappointed last time when sixth over 1609m at The Meadows. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:48.10) beating Al Papi in M PACE F-G1 on July 11 at $1.20. Recent form hard to fault and is again a strong contender.

Has won at his last three outings. Last start posted a big 20 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Philadelphia (1:50.40) beating Adonis Blue Chip in CGNW3PM on July 19 at $1.90. Hard to leave out on current form. Sure to give backers a sight.
