The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
CABALETTA HANOVER (3) scored by a neck at Pocono Downs over 1609m last start at her first career run. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Steps up a level but she will benefit from that last run and is capable of running another big race. BIRR CASTLE (4) lines up for the first time. By Captain Corey and hails from the Marcus Melander stable. Sure to prove tough to beat. THE CAPTAIN'S WIFE (2) is a two-year-old filly by Captain Corey from Broadway Socks on debut. Has the benefit of a good draw. Makes plenty of appeal. QUEEN KATE (8) is a likely improver after debuting with a solid second last time out over 1609m at Philadelphia.
