The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
BLACK CRUNCH (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 10 metres at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat. GILLETTE (2) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 13 metres, after a strong win at Northfield Park the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the class to find the winners' list. JETSTREAM HANOVER (4) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. VAQUERA (5) is stepping out for the first time. By Wearinmysixshooter and hails from the Scott Betts stable. Will be ready to run a big race.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Northfield Park beaten 13 m by You Go Cocoa (1:55.40) in BSS 2F on August 17 at $5.10. Showed ability the race before when she won by 11 m as favourite (Fr3) at Northfield Park (1:57.20) beating Delightful Tammie in OHFS 2YOF on August 1 at $1.40. Strong winning prospects.

Two-year-old filly (Wearinmysixshooter - Take Heed) making her debut. Finished second in a trial on August 11 at The Meadows over 1609m. A bit of a push for her in early discussions is worth noting.
