The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m
FIREITUP (4) scored at his most recent outing by 4 metres in a break through win this campaign at this track over 1609m. Big chance in a similar race. RACINGTERROR (3) finished seventh last start over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 25 metres, after a good third at this track the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to prove tough to beat. LIL BIT BETTOR (2) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. TASTY TRUTH (7) is worth some thought based on her second over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Its My Era at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMNW1 on July 31 at $16.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Fireitup at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMNW1 on August 6 at $8.70. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Legends Rule at Northfield Park over 1609m in a OHFSÂ 3YOC on August 1 at $23.50. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Frosty Morning Blu (1:55.30) in NW1EXTPM on July 16 at $3.50. Capable of a strong showing.
