The Meadows Pa Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609m
SOUTHWIND CASPIAN (7) made it two wins from his last five outings two weeks ago, getting home by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. NO NAP NASH (5) finished fifth last start, beaten 15 metres at Northfield Park over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. SFORZA (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4 metres at this track over 1609m. TIME HAS COME (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Dayton Raceway.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Deer In Range at Scioto Downs over 1609m in a OHSS 3C CN on September 11 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Bitcoin King at Dayton Raceway over 1609m in a BSS 3C FN on October 3 at $10.30. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Last start 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Southwind Caspian (1:53.40) in NW11000L4 on October 2 at $13.30. Two runs back 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 45 m by Wild Bill Kelso (1:51.00) in OPEN II on September 18 at $30.60. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Well beaten last start by Southwind Caspian, a rival who he faces again; when 20 metres sixth at this track over 1609m in a NW11000L4 race on October 2. Can't have on that basis.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 2.25 m (Sr1) at Northfield Park (1:54.30) beating Shamrock in NW5000L4 on October 11 at $7. Two runs back 4th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Junior Univerrse (1:56.00) in GLADA on September 10 at $9.60. Prepared to overlook against this lot.
