Meadowlands Race 6 - Race 6
VELVET DITCH (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. This is a nice drop in grade so he is set to continue his impressive recent form. WE WANT EAZY (3) is racing well with five top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role again. YELLOW JACKET (2) scored last start over 1609m at this track eight days ago. This is a nice assignment and a top-three finish looks on the cards. KING OF STING (4) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Won't let backers down.
