The Meadows Pa Race 6 - Race 6 - 1609M

DARK SOUL (4) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last four starts including a second most recently at this track over 1609m. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player again. A BIT OF SPIRITS (5) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. This is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to find the winners' list. LOU'S ALBANO (6) last appeared when he got home by 0.6 metres over 1609m at this track nine months ago. Should be thereabouts. NICKELBACK (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Northfield Park over 1609m.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Gannon's Veloucity at this track over 1609m in a EC-CGNW2 on March 13 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Gannon's Veloucity at this track over 1609m in a EC-FINAL on March 20 at $6.70. Capable of a strong showing.
