The Meadows Pa Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609M

CENTER STORY (3) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and he can find winning ways. THE REAL THING (4) has been racing very well of late and went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and 12 metres from the winner. Meets a comparable field and he can bounce back to winning ways. DRY RIDGE ERIE (1) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. HENRY SUGAR (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1609m.

4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Stingman (1:53.00) in NW2EXTPM on March 11 at $26.70. Before that 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Extra Rare (1:55.00) in NW2EXTPM on March 4 at $45.20. Might find this lot a bit smart.

Didn't do much at the last run, 9th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 65 m by Stingman (1:53.00) in NW2EXTPM on March 11 at $87.40. Before that 7th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 60 m by I'm A Donkey (1:56.20) in NW2EXTPM on January 30 at $35.90. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.
