The Meadows Pa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609M

THIAGO HANOVER (4) ran ninth last start at Hoosier Park over 1609m, beaten 19 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. BALLROOM AFFAIR (7) scored two runs back then recorded a commanding victory last time out, scoring by 30 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. CAVIART CADET (1) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Hoosier Park nine days ago. ODDS ON FAVORITE (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 4.5 m by Captain Brunson (1:54.20) in CGNW1PM on April 26 at $2.50. Before that 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 3 m by Panic Room (1:53.10) in NW1PM CG on April 13 at $4.20. Hard to make a winning case.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Philadelphia and Meadowlands both over 1609m. Last start won by 30 m (Fr5) at Philadelphia (1:52.10) beating Edgar Hanover in CGNW3PM on April 19 at $1.05. Going very well and deserves top billing.
