The Meadows Pa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609m
LOVEBUG HANOVER (5) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Last appeared when she scored by 7 metres over 1609m at this track. Well-placed to open this campaign with a win. PAPI KNOWS (6) resumes here after closing her last prep with a seventh at Pocono Downs on June 22. Expecting a very good run. DANCIN SWEET HEART (8) is hard to overlook after scoring first-up last start by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. DON'T BE LATE (3) ended last prep with a fifth at Pocono Downs over 1609m three-and-a-half months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Crunchy Hill at this track over 1609m in a CDCLMNW1 on August 26 at $32.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Warm Breezes Blow at this track over 1609m in a FMNW1EXTPM on September 30 at $3. One of the key runners.
