The Meadows Pa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M
TR'SSHINING STAR (5) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at her last six starts including a third most recently at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force once more. MIKILOB ULTRA (4) turned in another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Good enough to put herself back in the winners' stall. FANCY LIKE LOUUUUU (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. ALWAYSANUN (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4 metres at this track over 1609m.

Racing in great heart. Last start won by a 0.9 m (Fr5) at this track (1:54.40) beating Sale El Sol in FMNW4000L4 on January 28 at $2.20. Must be respected in this sort of form.

Last start 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by K T Part E (1:55.00) in FMNW9500L4 on January 28 at $7. Two runs back 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Running Aces Casino & Racetrack, beaten 6 m by Mother Mary (1:53.00) in OPN HCP FM on July 24 at $3.40. Happy enough to avoid.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 2nd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Veranda Blue Chip (1:54.20) in EC-FMNW2 on March 5 at $3.70. Might be better for this run.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind K T Part E at this track over 1609m FMNW9500L4 last start. Before that was beaten 0.6 metres second again at this track same class on January 21. Winning chance.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Lady Rita at Northfield Park over 1609m in a FMOPEN on January 24 at $2. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Twin Delight at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m in a FMNW9001L4 on January 29 at $3.70. Perfectly placed to win again.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won a big 4 m win (Fr3) at this track (1:54.40) beating What An Ocean View in 12000CLHC on January 31 at $4.70. One of the better chances.
