The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m

SOUTH BAR KEVIN (1) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 4.5 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. COUNTRY DAGGER (6) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a mighty shake. TEQUILA TALKIN (4) scored last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role again. BUR BUN (2) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Best Met Yet at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a NW10CDCL on September 4 at $15.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Splendid at this track over 1609m in a NW7800L4 on September 11 at $3.80. Leading contender and the inside draw helps.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 8 m by Splendid (1:53.30) in NW7800L4 on September 11 at $22.80. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:54.40) beating Junior Univerrse in NW3500L4 on September 3 at $2.10. Going okay so keep him safe.
