The Meadows Pa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M
CALIFORNIASTRANGER (2) has been in outstanding form of late and kept it up last time out with a strong win at this track over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role again. LASTCHANCEFORLOVE (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. EVA'S STAR (6) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1609m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. ADALECIA (4) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m.
