The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m
FOX VALLEY ABACUS (4) produced another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1609m at this track, adding to a good third on debut at this track the run prior. Won't find this any harder and he can make the breakthrough. DON JULIO (1) finished fifth last start, beaten 25 metres at this track over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. SERGEANT CHINO (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Genuine threat. RAFFERRTY'S ANGEL (8) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on July 24.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Roll'n In Moni at this track over 1609m in a POPUP2YOCG on July 2 at $28.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Punchin Preacher at this track over 1609m in a CGNW1EXTPM on July 16 at $1.50. Capable of testing this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Lou Armstrong at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a BSS 2C on July 14 at $30.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Believe In Dreams at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a BSS 2C on July 23 at $63.30. Plenty to like about his prospects.
