The Meadows Pa Race 6 - Race 6 - 1609m

NO NAP NASH (4) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 24 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. STAY CLOSE (5) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. Best recent result was a win at this track three starts ago. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. STARLIT RAMBO (6) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track eight days ago. ESPRESSO (1) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 1609m at Pocono Downs.

Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:53.20) beating L Dees Maria in NW7100L4 on July 31 at $1.90. Sure to be very competitive.
