Meadowlands Race 13

Race 13

Stake: $14,551

DROP THE MIC (4) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 75 metres into ninth at this track over 1609m. Leading hope if things go his way. CHECKMATE HALL (1) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 24 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MR GRANT (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. CHAMPA BAY HALL (5) is better than her last-start tenth over 1609m at this track.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 75 m by Love This Bar (1:54.40) on August 6 at $23.80. The run previous 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 45 m by Certify (1:56.20) in AHDC on July 19 at $16.30. Expecting better things this time around.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Love This Bar at this track over 1609m on August 6 at $8.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind In Secret at this track over 1609m on August 15 at $7.10. One of the key runners.
