Meadowlands Race 16 - Race 16
APOCALYPSEBLUECHIP (1) was responsible for a far better performance at his latest appearance when he scored by 5 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Has the benefit of a good draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is good enough to take this out. CAPTAIN CRUSADER A (9) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at Philadelphia the run before. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can give this a mighty shake. AVANTI (8) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at this track over 1609m. DOWNBYTHEWATER (10) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following July 25 run. Last start posted a big 9 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:50.30) beating Third Pillar in TM<83.5CD on August 1 at $1.50. This race will be harder than that win. Not keen.
