The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
HADES HANOVER (3) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last four starts including a second most recently at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Won't find this any harder and he can add to the impressive recent record. FACILE DENARO (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 22 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Leading hope from this favourable draw if anywhere near his best. MONI IN HIS POCKET (7) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Can turn things around. HEIR TOTHE NAUGHTY (6) is a big chance after debuting with a solid win last time out over 1609m at this track.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Red Andray at this track over 1609m in an ARDEN 2YOC on July 24 at $44.40. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 m by Heir Tothe Naughty (1:58.30) in TSS-2YOCG on July 11 at $6.90. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Well-beaten 20 days ago at this track over 1609m, and two back 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, well beaten by Dream Shaq (1:55.40) in ALL-STARS on July 4 at $12.50. Likely to struggle again.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Sa's Tiki Bar at this track over 1609m in a TSS-2YOCG on July 11 at $1.40. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Red Andray at this track over 1609m in an ARDEN 2YOC on July 24 at $9.50. Hard to roll on current form.

Two-year-old colt by Fordham Road out of Sheema Star on debut. Finished second in a trial on July 21 at The Meadows over 1609m. Prefer to see at the races before recommending.

Last start 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Red Andray (1:56.00) in ARDEN 2YOC on July 24 at $31.40. Two runs back 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Heir Tothe Naughty (1:58.30) in TSS-2YOCG on July 11 at $3.10. Unlikely to make an impression.

Won on debut won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:58.30) beating Facile Denaro in TSS-2YOCG on July 11 at $2.50. Going well enough to figure in the finish again.
