The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
SFORZA (2) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a mighty shake. BIG BOY ERNEST (1) won at this track two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. STARLIT RAMBO (5) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can atone. WILD BILL KELSO (7) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by Good Feeln To Know (1:53.30) in NW8600L4 on September 4 at $4. Two runs back posted a big 7 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:54.00) beating Redwhite N Goo in NW6100L4 on August 26 at $1.20. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Well beaten last start by Good Feeln To Know, who he meets again; when 15 metres sixth at this track over 1609m in a NW8600L4 race on September 4. Can't see him featuring.

Last start 4th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 8 m by Good Feeln To Know (1:53.30) in NW8600L4 on September 4 at $100.90. Two runs back 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 m by Big Boy Ernest (1:53.10) in NW8500L4 on August 28 at $12.40. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Prince Of Honor at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on September 3 at $58.70. Performed better the start before where he won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:53.20) beating Big Boy Ernest in NW9600L4 on August 22 at $1.90. Should be right in the finish.

Solid run when a close third behind Passionate Promise at this track over 1609m in a 16000CLHC on August 27 at $3.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Good Feeln To Know at this track over 1609m in a NW8600L4 on September 4 at $8.20. Hard to roll on current form.
