Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5
ORCHESTRA (7) finished third last start, beaten 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. SPECIAL ORCHID (6) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Big chance if she is at her best. HL KAPARA (4) is usually thereabouts and looks a strong winning hope this time following a last-start fifth at Saratoga. Rarely lets backers down. ONEIROMANCER (3) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
