The Meadows Pa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m

ELSA D (5) was responsible for a good effort at her latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on July 18. Big chance in a similar assignment. MY FIRST FIRE (3) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 20 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. This should be an easier assignment so from a favourable draw he is sure to prove tough to beat. MCSWEETIE (7) comes right into contention after scoring last start by a neck at this track over 1609m. DRY RIDGE ERIE (6) must be respected after scoring last start by a neck at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Stingman (1:49.30) in W4NW7EXTPM on July 11 at $122.20. Showed ability the run before when he won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:53.30) beating Lochinvar Aussie in CDCLMNW6 on July 4 at $2.20. This race appears well within his grasp.
