The Meadows Pa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m

CRUNCHY HILL (5) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 10 metres victory over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done again. CRUNCH CLASS (3) finished third at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a mighty shake. FEAR OF GOLD (4) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. TWO CAN PLAY (7) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow third behind Perfection Hanover at this track over 1609m CDCLMNW2 last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third again at this track same class on August 20. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 10 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.00) beating Leave No Doubt in CDCLMNW1 on August 26 at $1.05. In terrific form and is the one to beat again.
