The Meadows Pa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
COUNTRY DAGGER (5) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 50 metres into eighth at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Has the talent to find the winners' list. TEQUILA TALKIN (3) registered a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Big chance in a similar line-up. L DEES MARIA (4) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track six days ago. STAY CLOSE (6) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
