The Meadows Pa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609m
SOUTHWIND CHICAGO (8) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the momentum last start when he scored over 1609m at this track, getting home by 0.6 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can salute once again. SOUTHWIND MILWAUKI (1) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 35 metres into sixth at Philadelphia over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this better draw. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. ANOTHER ROUND (3) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Northfield Park. AHTOHALLAN (4) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 35 m by Rambo Hanover (1:55.00) in NW3PM on August 6 at $16.10. The run before 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Meadowlands beaten 25 m by Whatarace Hanover (1:53.30) in 4U NW2CD on July 24 at $11.20. Expecting a spike in form this time.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 7th (Sr1) over 1609m at Northfield Park beaten 55 m by Kaa Dee Archie (2:) in NW4PMCD on July 29 at $3. At the previous start 9th (Fr4) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, well beaten by Zane Trace (1:54.10) in BSS 3C on July 18 at $10.80. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.
