The Meadows Pa Race 8

1609m

Stake: $36,122

HARD FOUR (3) turned in a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Pocono Downs. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the talent to take this out. LOUD LUXURY (7) opened his career in pleasing fashion a week-and-a-half ago, finishing third and beaten 2.25 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Has the talent to make his presence felt. SWEET MATE (2) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. PA LINCOLN (4) is stepping out for the first time. By Sweet Lou and hails from the Brian Brown stable. Has the right credentials to play a major role.

Two-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 12 m by Gobstopper (1:54.10) in ALL-STARS on July 6 at $4.30. Happy enough to avoid.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Atomix Hanover at this track over 1609m in a POPUP2YOCG on June 27 at $5.20. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Gobstopper at Pocono Downs over 1609m in an ALL-STARS on July 6 at $4.20. Has the ability to play a major role.
