The Meadows Pa Race 1

1609M

Stake: $14,862

ANGELO (5) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 4 metres. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall again. DOGFIGHT (4) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Big chance in a similar race. DONT GET SHOCKED (3) is flying at present with two successive wins to his name, most recently at this track a week ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. PREMIER DREAMER (6) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.
