Meadowlands Race 2 - Race 2
LEADING LADY (3) turned in an out-of-character effort last time out when 21 metres away in tenth over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This is a nice drop in grade so she is in the right race to return to form. SUGAR PACKET (1) produced a good effort at her latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at Tioga Downs on August 15. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she good enough to play a major role. WHATARACE HANOVER (6) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. DIAMOND BAY (2) must be considered after she finished third over 1609m at this track two weeks ago.

Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 m by Setyoursightshigh (1:53.10) in HAMBOOAKSE on August 1 at $7. Has the right credentials to take this out.
