The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
WILD BREW (1) made a winning start to his career a week ago, getting home by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. CATCH THE KILLER (6) has not raced since he finished 4 metres away in fourth at Scioto Downs over 1609m eight months ago. Will have plenty of admirers. THE FUN POLICE (5) resumes. Last appeared when a modest seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park eight months ago. FIRE THE DEMS (7) last appeared when fourth over 1609m at Northfield Park six months ago. Must be respected.

Well beaten last start by Wild Brew, who he meets again; when 40 metres sixth at this track over 1609m in a NW1EXTPM race on April 1. Can't have on that basis.
