Meadowlands Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $33,187

TYPHOON BANNER N (6) is racing in fine form with three wins and two minor placings from the past five runs. Turned in yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Finds a nice race and can discover winning form. SOUTHWIND GENDRY (7) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. WATER SPORTS TEEN (4) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished third over 1609m at this track last time out. ROCKIN JUKEBOX (8) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: SAULSBROOK RAPTOR (2)

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following March 28 run. Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Fr4) at Philadelphia (1:53.10) beating Whiskey Breath in 20-25 CLHC on April 12 at $2.20. This race will be harder than that win. Doesn't rate.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by Typhoon Banner (1:50.30) in 40000CLHC on April 4 at $5. Two runs back won by a 0.6 m (Fr2) at this track (1:50.30) beating Rockin Jukebox in 40000CLHC on March 28 at $5.80. Going along well. Top prospects.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m second behind Typhoon Banner at this track over 1609m 40000CLHC last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third again at this track same class on March 28. Rates highly so expect a bold run.
