The Meadows Pa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M

HAPPY HOUR BLUES (3) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 14 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the class to take care of this field. DEREK'S ROCKET (6) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when second over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Meets a similar line up so he can play a major role. CENTER STORY (4) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. FEAR THE PANDA (2) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
