Meadowlands Race 2 - Race 2
PACK YOUR BAGS (2) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 30 metres into seventh at Philadelphia over 1609m. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Meets a comparable field and he can turn in a much better performance. TAKARA STING (1) drew wide once again last start and failed to feature, beaten 30 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. BOURBONS COURAGE (7) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. BACKSTREET LAWYER (6) disappointed last time when ninth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Hes A Sweetheart (1:52.20) on July 31 at $152.50. The run before 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 24 m by Uilliam (1:55.10) on July 25 at $6.40. Suitably placed and can turn things around.
