Meadowlands Race 11 - Race 11
VAVOOM (1) scored two runs back then registered a commanding win last start, scoring by 20 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another big race. SWEET PETE PV (7) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 6 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. CAVENDISH (4) is worth thought after finishing fourth first-up over 1609m at this track last time out. COBAIN (10) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Something for the Multiples: PLAY BOY (3)

Two-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Philadelphia both over 1609m. Last start won by 20 m as favourite (Fr4) at Philadelphia (1:53.10) beating Odds On Amsterdam in CGNW1PM on October 16 at $1.05. Recent form hard to fault.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at The Red Mile beaten 15 m by An Angel Somewhere (1:52.30) in NW1500L4 on October 9 at $10.62. Two runs back 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at The Red Mile, beaten 24 m by Odds On Piranha (1:56.20) in SANW1PM on October 2 at $20.15. Happy enough to dismiss.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 7 days ago and two back 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway well beaten by Lyons Papi Rock (1:54.40) in CHGNW2PM on October 6 at $53.98. Difficult to enthuse based on recent efforts.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Lou's Rodeo at Philadelphia over 1609m in a CGNW3PM on October 11 at $8.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Twist Of Lemon at Philadelphia over 1609m in a CGNW3PM on October 18 at $1.90. Rates highly. Big chance.
