Presque Isle Downs Race 2

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: -

STARSHIP EMPIRE (6) Improved when 4th last run at the track but facing formidable opponents. Antonio A Gallardo has been successful previously. Going well this campaign. Should be in the finish. BRILLIANT JOURNEY (5) Threw down a serious challenge last start at the track and will find this grade more suitable. Will be positive in the run early. Capable of taking this out. BOSLEY (1) Made all when winning by a margin of 1 3/4L last time at Mountaineer Park and has drawn to do little work. Has shown early pace in races to date. Appears well in this. UP TO NO GOOD (2) Underwhelming when 5th last start at Belterra Park but has a good draw. Possesses very good finishing speed. Up against a more competitive field. Rough exotics chance.

Made every post a winner when winning by 1 3/4L last time at Mountaineer Park and has the ideal draw. Expecting to settle positively. Racing in stronger company. Strong claims.

Close up last start here and competing in a less challenging grade. Has plenty of early speed. Israel O Rodriguez and Scooter Davis work well together. Will go close.
