The Meadows Pa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M
PD'S DIAMOND HOPE (4) wasn't beaten all that far two runs back at this track then got the win he deserved last start over 1609m at this track, arriving 18 metres ahead of the runner-up. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. REGAL IDEA (2) had been racing in great heart then added to the list last start when he finished third over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Primary contender in a similar race. HUNKA HUNKA (3) last appeared when third over 1609m at Northfield Park six months ago. Keep an eye out for positive market movement. LOU'S ALBANO (5) is better than his first-up seventh over 1609m at this track two weeks ago.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Notorious Hanover at this track over 1609m in a W2NW5EXTPM on March 6 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Vino at this track over 1609m in a W2NW5EXTPM on March 13 at $4.20. Nicely placed to take this out.

Resuming after a spell of six months. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Heerz Corinthian at Northfield Park over 1609m in a BSSÂ 2CÂ CHP on October 4 at $4.70. Previous preparation first-up won by 2.25 m (Fr7) at Scioto Downs (1:54.20) beating Sunnys In The Sea in 2YOCNW1PM on July 12 at $5.70. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Last start 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Dark Soul (1:52.30) in W1NW4EXTPM on March 26 at $9. Two runs back won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:51.30) beating Skepticism in W2NW3EXTPM on July 11 at $1.80. Worth consideration.
