The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
ANOTHER C NOTE (5) was out of the money last start when 45 metres from the winner in ninth over 1609m at this track. Best form reference might be his win at Pocono Downs four starts back. Finds a nice race and can improve sharply. TIP TOP CAT (2) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing, beaten 6 metres, after a modest sixth at Oak Grove Racing the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. LITENINGONTHEBEACH (4) is a big chance following a run of three top-three finishes, the latest at this track six days ago. Real threat to the top selections. BEACH BUM HARLEY (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by 18 metres at this track over 1609m.
