Meadowlands Race 12

Race 12

Stake: $13,694

ALWAYS A WAY (5) finished seventh last start, beaten 25 metres at this track over 1609m. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. MAC'S SKYWALKER (1) ran ninth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 30 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. ROJAN'S WAY (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Philadelphia eight days ago. SPIRIT OF TRUTH (7) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1609m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Midnight Lightning (1:53.00) on August 6 at $45.80. The start before 10th (Fr10) over 1609m at this track beaten 65 m by Hes A Sweetheart (1:52.20) on July 31 at $17.10. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.
