The Meadows Pa Race 12

1609M

Stake: $18,166

LOU VUITTON (5) added to his recent string of strong performances last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. His recent form is good enough to put him right in the finish. CYCLONE BANNER (2) was out of the money two runs back at Northfield Park then was at his best last start to score by 0.6 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. BETUSTAY (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m. CRUZIN AMERICA (4) is tough to leave out on the back of two successive wins, most recently at this track eight days ago.
