Meadowlands Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $28,331

CHALK HANOVER (6) scored by 4 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past three appearances. Big chance in this comparable race. CURBSIDE PICKUP (5) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. IDIOSYNCRATIC (2) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at this track nine days ago. LOU ON THE BEACH (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Hugh Heston at Philadelphia over 1609m in a 20-25 CLHC on July 5 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Chalk Hanover at this track over 1609m in a 20000CLHC on July 9 at $3.50. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.
