Meadowlands Race 10 - Race 10
BENTLEY BLUE CHIP (7) scored by 5 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m last start, the second win from his past five appearances. Must overcome a very wide draw. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. SEVEN PLEDGES (3) finished eighth last start over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 11 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at Philadelphia. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Has the class to take this out. CAPTAIN KENNY J (8) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs. GUSTAV VASA (9) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at The Red Mile.
