The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m
MR BIG SPENDER (1) produced another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1609m at Hoosier Park. Has the benefit of a good draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. OVERSEAR (6) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 6 metres. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. EXACTLY (2) is flying at present with three successive wins to his name, most recently at Mohawk Park a week-and-a-half ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. CAPTAIN VODKA (5) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at Philadelphia two-and-a-half weeks ago.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Jim Beam at Philadelphia over 1609m in a PASS CONS on September 6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Zephyr Kemp at Hoosier Park over 1609m in a LANGLEY on September 25 at $11.20. In the mix from the inside draw.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Geologic at Philadelphia over 1609m in a PASS FINAL-R1 on September 6 at $26.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Jim Beam at Philadelphia over 1609m in a C TROT on September 12 at $6.80. In fine form. Big chance.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Geologic at Philadelphia over 1609m in a PASS FINAL-R1 on September 6 at $35.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Jim Beam at Philadelphia over 1609m in a C TROT on September 12 at $5.60. Plenty to like about his prospects.
