The Meadows Pa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M

CAPTAIN VODKA (4) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 50 metres into seventh at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Tackles a similar assignment and he can bounce back to form. HAMLET HALL (3) was once again right in the mix last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. DOLLAR DRAFT (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his first run back over 1609m at Meadowlands. GREENARROW HANOVER (2) disappointed last time when ninth over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Practical Man at Meadowlands over 1609m 3YOC NW2 last start. Before that was beaten 0.6 metres second at The Red Mile in INSS on October 3. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Solid performance when a close second behind Harlem Hanover at this track over 1609m in a LC-FINAL on April 16 at $3. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Tymal Kryptonite at this track over 1609m in a W3NW6EXTPM on May 2 at $5.10. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Dilly Hanover at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a WEISS FNL on April 27 at $3.90. Raced better the start before that where he posted a big 10 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Pocono Downs (1:56.10) beating Nose Jammer in WEISS 3YRC on April 20 at $1.20. Capable of taking this out.
