Meadowlands Race 12 - Race 12
RAWTN TALE (1) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Philadelphia, a poor reflection on his short quote. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to turn things around. SPIRIT OF STLOUIS N (8) ran seventh last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Expecting a very good run. BEAT COP (7) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs. VEL LARRY (4) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 1609m at Bangor Raceway two runs back.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 6 m by Compensate Me (1:53.40) in 10000CL NW on October 23 at $2. The run before 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway, well beaten by Tricky Captain (1:53.30) in 15000CLM on September 30 at $3.50. Happy to give him another try in this suitable contest.
