The Meadows Pa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M

ESPRESSO (8) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at Pocono Downs, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. Must overcome a very wide draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. FLIGHTLINE (5) scored at his most recent outing by 5 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Meets a comparable field and he can go right on with the job. SMOKING JET (7) should be at his peak for this. Finished second over 1609m at this track at the latest appearance a week ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. CHUCK (2) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Jogging Full Trot at this track over 1609m in a NW13750L4 on March 12 at $22.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Bur Bun at this track over 1609m in a NW8800L4 on March 19 at $9. Capable of testing this line-up.
