The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
RT ROAD TO GLORY (2) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. LETS GO LONG (8) ran seventh last start at Northfield Park over 1609m, beaten 65 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. CRIMSON CROWN (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing. CIROCCO (7) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two-year-old gelding by Gimpanzee out of Beautiful Mrs A on debut. Finished second in a trial on July 14 at Philadelphia over 1609m. No surprise to see a bright start to his career.

Has struggled of late. Backing up quickly after 7th (Fr1) over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 65 m by Iluvmymoni (1:57.10) in OHSS 2C on July 20 at $43.50. The run prior 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 7 m by Sigurd (1:57.30) in OHSS 2C on July 11 at $32.30. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.
