The Meadows Pa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M
GRONK HANOVER (1) scored last time out by 6 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. His recent effort is good enough to take out a race like this. HAPPY HOUR BLUES (3) was out of the money two back at this track. Turned in a better run last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. CUMULUS BB (5) is better than his last-start ninth over 1609m at this track. DEREK'S ROCKET (6) should be at his peak at the fifth run back from a spell, the latest outing a second at this track a week ago.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Captivated at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMW1NW4 on April 3 at $19.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Gronk Hanover at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMW1NW4 on April 10 at $6.10. Has the right credentials to take this out.
