The Meadows Pa Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609m
BETTER OPTION (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 6 metres at this track over 1609m. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DIRTY LIL PIGLET (6) finished fourth at Pocono Downs two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 23 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can bounce back straight away. HORSCHE (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. BET N SHOUT (1) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Coalford Bet Aline (1:54.30) in CD6000CLM on August 22 at $25.10. The run before was not as impressive when beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind Brooklets Sonic at this track over 1609m in a CD6000CLM on August 13 at $32.90. This is outside his grasp.
