The Meadows Pa Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609M
GRONK HANOVER (5) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 7 metres from the winner. Good enough to take out a race like this. HAPPY HOUR BLUES (2) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 15 metres. Expect him to be prominent. FEAR THE PANDA (1) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track. BROTHER BUDDY (3) must be respected after scoring last start by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Linnycalledfrankie at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a 12500CL on March 24 at $21.70. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Captivated at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMW1NW4 on April 3 at $17.60. Can build on that fine effort last start.
