The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M
SMART N SASSY (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 14 metres at Buffalo Raceway over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating. JR STRIKE THREE (4) has been excellent of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 7 metres. Leading hope based on recent form. GRANITE (1) should be ready to peak now after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track six weeks ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. SERIOUS DRAGON (9) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Freshened-up since the last run 42 days ago. Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fifth behind Miki's Big Guy at this track over 1609m 10000CLM last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at this track same class on March 20. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Well beaten last start by Jr Strike Three, who he meets again; when 24 metres seventh at this track over 1609m in a CD6000CLM race on May 2. Can't have on that basis.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway beaten 14 m by Cold Decked (1:56.30) in NW2250L4 on May 1 at $3.26. Before that, a game effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway, beaten 0.6 m by Dance Machine (1:59.00) in NW2250L4 on April 25 at $2.39. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 7 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:53.10) beating Nulli Secondus in CD6000CLM on May 2 at $1.30. Racing in great heart and another win is on the cards.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Miki's Big Guy (1:51.20) in 7500CLM on May 2 at $31.70. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:54.40) beating Jr Strike Three in CD6000CLM on April 23 at $2.80. A better showing expected.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind High Impression at this track over 1609m in a 8000CLM on April 3 at $12.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Jr Strike Three at this track over 1609m in a CD6000CLM on May 2 at $8.30. Nice effort last time. Winning hope.
