The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m
WISH FOR A CAPTAIN (3) was in the money two runs ago then went well again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 10 metres from the winner in second. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the class to take this out. LIL BIT BETTOR (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at Northfield Park. Meets a comparable field and she is a strong winning hope. DANCIN SWEET HEART (1) ended last prep with a sixth at this track over 1609m three-and-a-half months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. CAPTAIN POISON (2) is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 1609m at Northfield Park last time out.

Solid run when a close second behind Wine Down Wensday at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a 2YOF on September 8 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Aestas at this track over 1609m in a KEYSTON2FP on September 16 at $18.20. In fine form. Leading contender.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 6 m win (Fr6) at this track (1:55.00) beating Warm Breezes Blow in FMNW1EXTPM on September 16 at $3.90. Two runs back 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck by Wigglesnwine (1:56.10) in FMNW1EXTPM on September 2 at $24. Doesn't pose a threat.
