The Meadows Pa Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m
PASSIONATE PROMISE (1) finished eighth last start, beaten 90 metres at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the class to take this out. GOLD PAIGE (3) turned in a poor effort by her standards most recently when 25 metres away in eighth over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Form prior to that had been solid. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can make amends. BIG SWIG (4) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Hoosier Park. Can atone. MR JEFF (5) ended last prep with a eighth at Northfield Park over 1609m nine months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Good Feeln To Know at this track over 1609m in a NW8600L4 on September 4 at $18.10. Performed better the start before where she won by a neck as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:53.20) beating Grizz Wyllie in 16000CLHC on August 27 at $1.40. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.
