The Meadows Pa Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m
LOYAL SON (6) finished fifth last start, beaten 22 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of playing a significant role. LIONS TALE (1) finished 0.9 metres from the winner in second at this track over 1609m last start at his first career run. No excuses from this advantageous draw. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. BLUE SPRUCE (3) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at Vernon Downs over 1609m. RIVER COLE (5) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Two-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut good run when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 m by Hook N Reel (1:58.00) in TSS-2YOCG on July 11 at $2.70. Should be right in the finish.
