Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5
CAVEMAN A (9) registered another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Primary contender based on that latest outing. STOP THE SHOOTIN' (2) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 0.9 metres from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. BET A BUNDLE (8) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. XPERT (4) must be included after winning his past two starts, the latest at this track nine days ago.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Corvette Stingray (1:52.10) in 4U NW2CD on July 18 at $59.10. Before that 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Crush Kill Destroy (1:51.10) on June 20 at $28.60. Likely to struggle.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Arolndahaybluechip at this track over 1609m on July 25 at $11.90. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Euphoria at this track over 1609m on August 1 at $24.10. Definite winning chance.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 5 m (Fr4) at this track (1:51.20) beating Fizzing in TM<77.5CD on August 6 at $4.40. Hard to leave out on current form. Must be considered.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Seaworthy Hanover at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW5000L5 on July 26 at $82.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Greater Than Aces at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW2500L5 on August 2 at $2. Should be right in the finish.
