The Meadows Pa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m
BETTER OPTION (5) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 4.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done again. COALFORD BET ALINE (1) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. LYONS BEACHBOY (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: MOSCOW MITCH (9)

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Better Option (1:52.40) in 6500CLHC on August 1 at $43.20. Before that 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 7 m by Better Option (1:53.40) in CD6000CLM on July 10 at $4.90. May find this too tough.
