The Meadows Pa Race 5

1609m

Stake: $221,668

EASTIE BOY (3) is racing well with five top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at Philadelphia over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of continuing his fine form. HARD FOUR (5) was successful at his most recent outing by 0.9 metres in a far better performance at The Red Mile over 1609m. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. ATOMIX HANOVER (6) is a big chance following a run of three top-three finishes, the latest at Philadelphia a week ago. Real threat to the top selections. CRUNCHSTYLE (1) must be respected after scoring last start by 10 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Shalom Hanover at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a PASS 2YRCG on August 3 at $12. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Starstruck Dreamer at Philadelphia over 1609m in a PASS-2YOCG on August 14 at $14.50. Chief contender.
