The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M

WAR MACHINE (7) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 14 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. This is a nice drop in class so he is sure to prove tough to beat. SMOOTH BAHT A (2) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 40 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can turn in a much better performance. BETTER OPTION (1) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. BEN RACIN (3) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
