The Meadows Pa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m

DONCIC (5) filled a minor placing at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. GROOVIN WILL (3) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 25 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the class to take this out. FOX VALLEY CHUCKLE (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. GLOWING LOU (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by San Remo Hanover (1:50.40) in CDCLMNW6 on August 21 at $69.20. At the previous start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Home Run King (1:51.20) in CDCLMW1NW4 on August 14 at $23. Worth another chance. Leading contender.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Home Run King at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMW1NW4 on August 14 at $62.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Fox Valley Chuckle at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMW1NW4 on August 22 at $19.30. Chief contender.
