The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
ANDERSSON HANOVER (1) comes here off a last-start win at Pocono Downs over 1609m, scoring by 4.5 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and she can get the job done. ONE TEQUILA (2) finished second last start over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 9 metres. Best recent result was a win at Pocono Downs three starts ago. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. QUEEN KATE (6) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished second at Pocono Downs over 1609m. BALARA BAY (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Ops Mearas at Philadelphia over 1609m in a TSS-2YOFT on August 6 at $4.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Ops Mearas at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a TSS 2YRF on August 17 at $13.80. Capable of a strong showing.
