Meadowlands Race 5 - Race 5
THE OPENER (2) finished third at his most recent outing, beaten 1.5 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. LOVETHEWAYYOULIE (10) ran sixth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. YER SO BAD (6) is better than his last-start tenth over 1609m at this track. PUCKY (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.6 metres at this track over 1609m.
