Meadowlands Race 3 - Race 3

SCARPA (7) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at Philadelphia, getting home by 4 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. SOUTHERN HANOVER (5) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 12 metres into eighth at Mohawk Park over 1609m. Meets some better types this time but from a far better starting position a win is not out of the question. MAXMAN (2) should be at his peak for this. Finished second over 1609m at this track at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. OREL BULLDOG (4) is a two-year-old colt by Walner from Alloveragain on debut. Capable of taking this out.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 4.5 m (Fr2) at Philadelphia (1:59.00) beating Ice Wall in 2YOCGNW2 on August 20 at $7.40. Two runs back 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 16 m by Jameson Deo (1:58.30) in 2YOCGNW2 on August 6 at $7.70. Preferred in something easier.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 m by Wyoming (1:55.10) in NJSS-SILVR on August 7 at $7.30. Two runs back posted a big 5 m win (Fr6) at this track (1:55.20) beating Chalooch in NJSS-SILVR on July 31 at $8.20. Makes plenty of appeal.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten Philadelphia over 1609m, 6 days ago and two back 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 30 m by Yankee Boss (1:56.30) in PASS 2YRCG on August 10 at $12.40. Hard to recommend him on recent form.

Two-year-old colt by Walner out of Alloveragain on debut. Won a trial on August 21 at Meadowlands over 1609m. A bit of a push for him in early discussions is worth noting.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 8th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 8th- beaten 12 m by Detonater Hanover (1:52.30) in 2yo OPEN on August 21 at $86. The run before 8th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track beaten 19 m by Lincoln Kronos (1:54.10) in KNDRGARTEN on August 7 at $8.20. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Two-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Philadelphia and Pocono Downs both over 1609m. Last start won by 4 m as favourite (Fr4) at Philadelphia (1:56.00) beating Caesarmoni Hanover in TSS-2YOCG on August 23 at $1.60. Recent form hard to fault.
