The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M
PASSIONATE PROMISE (5) has been racing well of late. Finished third at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Has the class to find the winners' list. BOMBAY TOM (3) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 18 metres, after a modest eighth at this track the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. THE FUNK (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. MY BAR TAB (7) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 18 m by Farah Trio (1:53.20) in W4-7PM on April 18 at $8.20. The run prior 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Chasin' Sunshine (1:54.00) in W3NW6EXTPM on April 10 at $17.60. Watch for a far better effort this time.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Starlit Rambo at this track over 1609m in a 16000CLHC on April 16 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Gabby's Wild Child at this track over 1609m in a 16000CLHC on April 24 at $7.20. Has the ability to play a major role.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 19 m by Aperol Hanover (1:55.20) in NW3500L4 on April 22 at $29.40. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 9 m win (Fr1) at this track (1:56.20) beating Unique Wedding in NW1750L4 on April 10 at $3.10. One of the better hopes.
