Meadowlands Race 9 - Race 9
APEX (6) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. NIX NACKEN (5) must be included after winning his past two starts, the latest at this track a week ago.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m second behind Nix Nacken at this track over 1609m NJ CLASSIC last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres third at Pocono Downs in BEAL-G2 on August 22. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Racing consistently. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr8) at this track (1:51.40) beating Practical Man in NJ CLASSIC on September 4 at $20.70. Capable of a top-three finish.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by King Of The Wind (1:51.40) in NJ CLASSIC on September 4 at $33.20. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr3) at Pocono Downs (1:53.30) beating All Time Trot in W3-6PM on August 29 at $2.90. Decent effort last start. In the mix again.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Pocono Downs both over 1609m. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr6) at this track (1:51.30) beating Magic Punk in NJ CLASSIC on September 4 at $4.40. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Mixing form recently. Last start was 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by King Of The Wind (1:51.40) in NJ CLASSIC on September 4 at $25.30. Before that beaten 105 metres, seventh at Pocono Downs over 1609m BEALCON II on August 22. Can't see him troubling these.

Has been mixing his form of late, most recently 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Nix Nacken (1:51.30) in NJ CLASSIC on September 4 at $88. Before that 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 50 m by David Seaman (1:53.20) in NJ SDF F on August 29 at $4.10. Can't recommend against this lot.
