The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
RACINGTERROR (1) has been a bit hot and cold and that continued last start when he finished third, beaten 9 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. STAY ON TRACK (8) broke through for the first win of the preparation last start when he scored by 3 metres over 1609m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Primary contender in a similar assignment. TASTY TRUTH (6) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. CRUNCHY HILL (2) disappointed last time when sixth over 1609m at Vernon Downs. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 18 m by Stay On Track (1:55.40) in CDCLMNW1 on August 13 at $29.30. The run before 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 14 m by Fireitup (1:53.20) in CDCLMNW1 on August 6 at $3.80. Can turn things around in this suitable contest.

Two-year-old colt by Captain Crunch out of Lu Lu Q having his first start. Finished fourth at The Meadows in a trial on August 11 over 1609m. Prefer to see at the races before recommending.
