Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5

BEST CHIP (7) continued a solid run of recent form when he scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway, getting home by 3 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Big chance based on recent form. GO GO GRASSHOPPER (4) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway, beaten 1.5 metres. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. NEVERSTOPDREAMIN N (8) finished runner-up over 1609m at this track last start at his first racetrack appearance. Strips fitter and can play a role. FIFTH AND FIVE (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4 metres at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway beaten 10 m by Verdun (1:51.10) in INVITATION on June 8 at $14.22. Showed ability the race before when he won by 7 m (Fr6) at Yonkers Raceway (1:52.10) beating Blue Lou in NW30000L5 on June 1 at $12.74. Sure to be about the mark.
