The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m
ODDS ON WONDERFUL (1) filled a minor placing at Pocono Downs two runs ago before finishing seventh at her latest appearance over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 30 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up and she is capable of another bold performance. SOUTHERN SWING (2) finished fifth last start over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at Philadelphia the run prior. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up and she is capable of a return to the winner's list. SWEET SOLITUDE (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. JETSTREAM HANOVER (4) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Step It Up at Philadelphia over 1609m in a TSS-2YOFP on August 9 at $8.20. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 2.25 m by Boardwalk Babe (1:53.30) in TSS 2YOF on July 19 at $1.70. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 6 m by Jodo Hanover (1:54.10) in TSS-2YOFP on August 9 at $1.10. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 6 m as favourite (Fr2) at Philadelphia (1:56.40) beating Watch Her Wiggle in 2YOFNW2 on July 24 at $1.30. This race appears well within her grasp.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Whiskey Lullaby at this track over 1609m in a FMNW1EXTPM on July 22 at $10.70. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Kenogami Bulldog at this track over 1609m in a FMNW1EXTPM on July 29 at $66.50. Has the ability to play a major role.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following August 1 run. Last start won by 1.0 m at Georgian Downs (1:57.30) beating U Are My Shadow in 2yo F on August 8 at $11.35 at the bell was leading. This race will be harder than that win. This looks too tough.
