The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
CHANNING (5) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his win last time out, scoring by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. HARD SEVEN (6) went well to finish third two starts ago then registered a commanding victory last start, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing. Leading hope in a similar race. APEROL HANOVER (4) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. LIVIN IT UP (3) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track eight days ago. Something for the Multiples: TWOFISTEDDRINKER (1)

Well beaten last start by Channing, a rival who he faces again; when 16 metres fifth at this track over 1609m in a W5NW8EXTPM race on July 8. Can't have on that basis.

Well-beaten 19 days ago at this track over 1609m, and two back 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Hamlet Hall (1:53.40) in W5NW8EXTPM on June 19 at $68.20. Needs to lift substantially.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Little Road at this track over 1609m in a W5NW8EXTPM on June 26 at $17.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Channing at this track over 1609m in a W5NW8EXTPM on July 8 at $2.30. Capable of a strong showing.
