Meadowlands Race 6

Race 6

Stake: $85,592

GRANDIFLORA (1) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 13 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Perfectly drawn and is sure to play a major role. CAUGHT SPEEDING (4) turned in a poor effort by her standards last time out when 30 metres away in eighth over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Has the class to take care of this field. RIO DE JANEIRO (6) is better than her last-start ninth over 1609m at this track. EMOTICA (7) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 70 m by Day One Dandy (1:54.00) in NJSS-SILVR on August 7 at $47.70. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 4.5 m (Fr6) at this track (1:56.00) beating Ruth's Kalila in NJSS-SILVR on July 31 at $20.50. Wasn't at her best last time - can improve.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Day One Dandy at this track over 1609m in a NJSS-SILVR on July 31 at $39.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Day One Dandy at this track over 1609m in a NJSS-SILVR on August 7 at $18.70. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.
