Meadowlands Race 3 - Race 3
OBITER DICTUM (4) got the job done in tremendous style last start to score by 22 metres at The Red Mile over 1609m, that run following a ninth two starts back at The Red Mile. Finds a tougher race but another win is on the cards. NEW HOPE (8) won at this track two runs ago before finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at The Red Mile, beaten 8 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Has the talent to take care of this field. BAILEY J (7) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at Vernon Downs over 1609m. WYOMING (6) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at Pocono Downs last time out.
