The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
DANCIN COMMANDER (1) finished fifth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 metres, after a modest fourth at this track the run prior. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and he can turn in a much better performance. DRY RIDGE FALCON (3) has had two runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last time when he finished sixth over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can discover winning ways. WESTERN ARTIST (2) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track eight days ago. CADY HILL (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m.
