Meadowlands Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
DRAFT RIOTS (5) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1106m at Monmouth Park (Dirt) after he gave away a big start. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. TWIN LIGHTS (6) was safely held when resuming from a spell last start, finishing 6 lengths back in fourth over 1207m at Monmouth Park. Gets to a turf track for the first time today. Will strip much fitter and looks a winning chance on best figures. BETTER DAY (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1106m at Delaware Park, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KING OF FOG (4) finished 19 lengths away in eighth at his last appearance over 1710m at Monmouth Park Turf (Turf) on August 15 after he gave away a big start. Should be about the money.

The run before that ran last in a small field at Monmouth Park Turf on July 25 over 1106m, 16 len behind Marble Hall with 54kg at $17.90. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start ran last of 8 at Monmouth Park Turf on August 15 over 1710m, 19 len behind Lumber Legacy carrying 54.5kg at $17.60. Before that ran second last in a small field at Penn National Turf on June 24 over 1006m, 5.5 len behind New York Strong carrying 54.5kg at $11.30. Capable of more than he showed last time.
