Meadowlands Race 8 - Race 8
LEXUS KODY (6) made it three wins in a row last start, getting home by 1.5 metres over 1609m at Plainridge Park. Won't find this any harder and he can go right on with the job. SUPER CHAPTER (1) turned in a strong effort last time over 1811m at this track, finishing 0.9 metres from the winner in second. Comes back to Meadowlands and has enjoyed success here in the past. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the class to find the winners' list. AETOS KRONOS S (2) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at Plainridge Park over 1609m. Hard to find fault. UP YOUR DEO (7) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 2.25 metres into third at Plainridge Park.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind On To Norway at this track over 1811m HAMBO MAT-G1 last start. Before that was beaten 0.9 metres second again at this track over 1609m in GRADUATE F-G2 on July 4. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Solid performance when a close second behind Lexus Kody at this track over 1609m in a JL CRUZE-G3 on July 4 at $12.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Lexus Kody at Plainridge Park over 1609m in a SPIRIT-G2-G2 on July 19 at $12.60. Big run expected.
