The Meadows Pa Race 6

1609M

Stake: $30,234

BIRTHDAY (5) turned in a much better run last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. Meets a comparable field so he can go one better this time around. LITENINGONTHEBEACH (3) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 2.25 metres from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Big chance based on that latest outing. BUCKEYEBOLLINGER (6) scored last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role again. BETTER B BOLD (4) last appeared when runner-up over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway four months ago. Must be respected.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Buckeyebollinger at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on June 7 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Buckeyebollinger at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on June 14 at $8.80. Can improve.
