Presque Isle Downs Race 6

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: -

STRIKE D' ORO (5) Didn't threaten when 5th last time here. Should improve here and promising career start. Israel O Rodriguez usually performs well for the Juan Miguel Arriagada stable. Shows good early pace. Looks well suited in this race. BORDER CONTROL (1) Really dug deep when winning last start here and suited at this distance historically. Won't be far away during the run. Has drawn the rails. Racing in stronger company. Contender. RIGHT NOW (2) Good run when placing 3rd beaten by 2L last time at the track and gets a favourable draw. Antonio A Gallardo rates highly. Very competitive this preparation. Solid place bet prospects. DON'T TELL KELLY (4) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time around here but facing a stronger class. Keeping a perfect win record the last 3 attempts. One of the hopes.

Brave effort to win narrowly by a head last start around here and proven performer at this distance in the past. Should come to hand quickly. Gets the perfect draw. Will be around the mark at good odds.

Good run when finishing 3rd last time here and can find a nice position from the draw. Antonio A Gallardo is a plus but taking on stronger rivals. Could go close.

First up. Started at $4.00 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last time at Turfway Park but has been racing in stronger company. Needs to find a lot more.

Ran on hard when winning last time at this track but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Can't knock the form winning 3 in a row. One that represents value at a decent price.

Was $4.50 and weakened to finish 5th last time at the track. Should improve here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Displays good tactical speed. Will be in the finish.
