The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
PONDA AID (3) finished ninth at Hoosier Park two runs ago before finishing seventh at her latest appearance over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 40 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and she can finish a lot closer this time. GOLDMONI HANOVER (4) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 90 metres into seventh at Philadelphia over 1609m. Has the talent to find the winners' list. FAITHFUL HANOVER (5) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. VONDRA (2) is better than her last-start eighth over 1609m at this track.

Two-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. At debut 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Northfield Park beaten 30 m by Aunt Indy (2:00.30) in 2YOF NW1PM on July 8 at $133.20. Not out of the equation.

Has struggled of late. Last start 7th (Sr1) over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 40 m by One Mike Out (1:54.10) in NW1PM on September 17 at $39.60. The run previous 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 70 m by Blazing Star (1:58.20) in NW1PM on September 3 at $3.50. Suitably placed and can make amends.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Philadelphia well beaten by T'wouldmakemesing (1:56.20) in TSS-2YOFT on August 6 at $10. The run before 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 45 m by Miss Eliza (1:54.30) in ARDEN 2YOF on July 24 at $74. Can turn things around in this suitable contest.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Sister Saloon at this track over 1609m in a FMNW1EXTPM on September 30 at $54.80. Performed better the start before with a good run when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 23 m by Fiscal Hanover (1:56.00) in 2YOFNW1EXT on September 16 at $33.60. Capable of taking this out.

Two-year-old filly by Whata Swan out of Boo's Party Girl on debut. Finished fourth in a trial on September 29 at The Meadows over 1609m. Betting will prove to be the best guide
