The Meadows Pa Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
RIVER COLE (4) ran fourth last start at Pocono Downs over 1609m, beaten 50 metres. This is a nice drop in class so he is set to play a significant role. HOOK N REEL (5) finished sixth last start, beaten 45 metres at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Expect him to be prominent. LIONS TALE (6) is a two-year-old gelding from the Marcus Melander stable on debut. Sure to prove very hard to beat. MASSIVE ROAD (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 50 m by Uncle Rob (2:00.20) in 2YOCGNW2 on June 18 at $27.60. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.

Two-year-old gelding lining up for the second time. At debut 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 45 m by Lindy On The Wall (1:56.30) in ALL-STARS on July 4 at $3.50. Better for that run and is a winning hope this time.
