Meadowlands Race 9 - Race 9

CAPTAIN JORDAN (7) was responsible for a far better performance last start, finishing second over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Stepping up a level this time but he is good enough to take this out. MOTHER'S MONI (5) made it two wins from his last three outings a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 3 metres over 1609m at Plainridge Park. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. GUSTAV (6) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track three weeks ago. HIGHBALL HANOVER (8) must be respected after scoring last start by 5 metres at Pocono Downs over 1609m.
