The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M
SPLENDID (5) was responsible for a far better performance when second up at his latest appearance, finishing third over 1609m at this track. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. ASSIDUOUS (2) has had four runs this prep without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last time when he finished fifth over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Has the ability to find the winners' list. BJORNSSON (4) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. ROSE RUN YANKEE (6) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Bur Bun at this track over 1609m in a NW5200L4 on March 12 at $16.20. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Shinkansen at this track over 1609m in a NW1850L4 on March 25 at $3.30. Should be right in the finish.
