Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5
AMERICAN SON (4) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 21 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. SPORT SECRET (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 25 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar line up and from a far better starting position he can play a major role. BETTING ON CAESAR (7) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at Philadelphia six days ago. HIRANYA N (5) must be respected after scoring last start by 9 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m.

Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Well-beaten 13 days ago at Philadelphia over 1609m, before that 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway, beaten 12 m by Railroad Station (1:52.30) in NW20951L5 on August 11 at $33.42. Recent efforts only moderate - hard to see him featuring in the finish.

Going well. Last start posted a big 9 m win as favourite (Fr3) at Philadelphia (1:51.00) beating Captain Marvel in NW7500L5 on August 30 at $1.80. One of the better hopes.
