The Meadows Pa Race 6 - Race 6 - 1609m
LOU GRANT (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 30 metres into eighth at Pocono Downs over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the ability to take care of this field. NAUTICAL HANOVER (6) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 9 metres. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. LOU'S ALBANO (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. NOTORIOUS HANOVER (4) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing sixth behind Timeisonmyside at this track over 1609m in a NW12500L4 on July 18 at $4.90. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Sometime Somewhere at this track over 1609m in a NW6500L4 on July 25 at $2.90. Well placed to go a couple better.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing fourth behind Timeisonmyside at this track over 1609m in a NW12500L4 on July 18 at $22.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Around Midnight at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a HGNW8001L4 on July 25 at $7. Chief contender.
