The Meadows Pa Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m
LITENINGONTHEBEACH (5) was once again right in the mix last time out when runner-up over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 6 metres. Recent efforts are good enough to win a race of this calibre. OUT OF ICE (6) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 4.5 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. TIP TOP CAT (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track four weeks ago. DUKE OF CORNWALL N (2) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at Dayton Raceway over 1609m.

Last start 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Dayton Raceway, beaten 12 m by Joelsyy Hanover (1:51.20) in NW10001L4 on October 10 at $11.20. Before that, a good run when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at Dayton Raceway, beaten 8 m by Rolling Image (1:50.40) in NW6001L4 on October 2 at $5.80. Will give a good account.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Out Of Ice (1:48.40) in OPEN HCP on September 18 at $13.70. Showed ability the run before when he won by 6 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:49.40) beating Lou's Albano in NW9600L4 on September 5 at $1.40. Sure to be thereabouts.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 6 m by Lake Charles (1:51.00) in OPEN HCP on October 4 at $5.20. Two runs back won by a 0.6 m (Fr6) at Northfield Park (1:51.20) beating Downbythewater in OPEN on September 27 at $18.30. Should be right in the finish.
