The Meadows Pa Race 12

1609M

Stake: $18,670

PATRONUS STAR (5) was successful last time out by 6 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of making it two on end. ROCKED N LOADED (6) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 metres, after a modest fifth at this track the run prior. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. A CLASS YANKEE (3) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. CRUZIN AMERICA (2) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.
