The Meadows Pa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m

PEPE LOU PEW (5) finished eighth last start, beaten 25 metres at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. TOUCHBACK (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 12 metres at this track over 1609m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CRUNCH CLASS (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at this track over 1609m. COMMANDER CRUNCH (7) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Slinky Dawg (1:54.30) in NW2EXTPM on October 8 at $11.90. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 3 m (Fr3) at this track (1:54.20) beating Quill Gordon in CDCLMNW2 on October 1 at $2.50. One of the better hopes.
