The Meadows Pa Race 5

1609M

Stake: $33,799

PERFIDIOUS CROWN (5) has been excellent of late and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 1609m at Pocono Downs, getting home by 5 metres. Finds a nice race and can grab another win. SWEET ODDS (6) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved her victory last start, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. BALLAST (2) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at Pocono Downs. No reason the run cannot continue. STEVIE HANOVER (4) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 1609m at Philadelphia two runs back.
