Meadowlands Race 9 - Race 9
OBITER DICTUM (2) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. GUSTAV VASA (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Obiter Dictum (1:54.00) in KNDRGARTEN on October 23 at $14.80. Before that 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 10 m by Green To Go (1:58.10) in SIMPSON on October 13 at $2.50. Can't recommend against this lot.

Two-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and The Red Mile both over 1609m. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:54.00) beating Wyoming in KNDRGARTEN on October 23 at $2. Racing in great heart and another win is on the cards.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Bentley Blue Chip at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW3PM on October 16 at $10.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Obiter Dictum at this track over 1609m in a KNDRGARTEN on October 23 at $8.20. Capable of taking this out.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Wrong Sounds Right at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a BR CROWN E on October 16 at $32. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Gustav Vasa at this track over 1609m in a KNDRGARTEN on October 23 at $1.80. Has the ability to play a major role.
