Meadowlands Race 9 - Race 9
OLLIE'S ZTAM (2) was out of the money two runs back at this track then was at his best last start to score by 3 metres over 1609m at the same circuit. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it two on the trot. LYONS LIBERTY (3) won at Philadelphia two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 3 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. HES A SWEETHEART (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. CONTROL GROUP (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m.
