Meadowlands Race 9 - Race 9

LUSAKA N (6) missed the placings for the third time in a row at the most recent outing when 4.5 metres away in fifth over 1609m at this track. Recent form includes a win at Tioga Downs four starts back on July 12. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. EFFINGHAM (8) produced a better effort last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Has the talent to take care of this field. AMERICAN SON (1) scored last start over 1609m at this track nine days ago. Well-placed here and a top-three finish looks on the cards. HIRANYA N (4) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Avanti at this track over 1609m in a NW10500L5 on July 18 at $12.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Southwind Gendry at this track over 1609m in a NW10500L5 on July 25 at $6.50. Has the right credentials to take this out.
