The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M
RIP TIDE (7) made a winning start to his career two weeks ago, getting home by 4.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. STAY DANCING (1) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 6 metres. Expected to run well. END OF THE TRAIL (3) finished 13 metres back in seventh over 1609m at Mohawk Park on debut ten months ago. Watch for a better run at the first run back. JAYBIRD (5) resumes. Last appeared when a modest seventh over 1609m at this track five months ago.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Obliterate at Philadelphia over 1609m in a CGNW1PM on April 12 at $94.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Ultimate Catch at this track over 1609m in a NW1EXTPM on April 22 at $9.20. Capable of a strong showing.

Well-beaten 28 days ago at this track over 1609m, before that 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 85 m by Thunder Jam (1:53.10) in NW1EXTPM on March 25 at $140.40. Difficult to enthuse based on recent efforts.

Three-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut 7th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 9th- beaten 13 m by Brindle (1:53.20) in 2yo OPEN CG on July 8 at $82.20. Plenty to like about his prospects.
