Meadowlands Race 9 - Race 9
BIG RANGER (8) is a top shelf three-year-old colt who has 10 wins from 12 career appearances. Made it four wins in succession last time out, getting home by 40 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. DIABOLIC HILL (9) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at Vernon Downs, beaten 3 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. IT COULD BE WORSE (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. NIX NACKEN (5) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at Vernon Downs over 1609m.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back won by 3 m (Fr5) at this track (1:50.30) beating Southwind Alamo in REYNOLDS on July 4 at $7.10. Last start just missed, good run when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 1.5 m by Endurance (1:52.00) in S DANCER-G3 on July 11 at $8.90. Capable of testing this line-up.
