Presque Isle Downs Race 1

Claiming

Stake: -

XERCES (3) Was competitive when 3rd last start at the track but up against a more competitive field. Racing for a new trainer. Has to be strongly considered. LA PANDA (6) Ran over the top of them when winning last time around here but racing in stronger company. Possesses good finishing speed. Gaddiel A Martinez has been successful previously. Can go on with it. VINO ROSATO (2) Couldn't stay in touch when 6th last time at the track. Expecting improvement and gets a favourable draw. Racing for a new trainer but up in grade. Genuine threat. UPPITY UP (4) Pushed past some when 4th last time around here but facing a stronger group of contenders. Change in trainer. Won't be far away during the run. Looks a great place bet.

Strong effort when placing 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at the track and drawn the rails. In fine form since resuming from a break. Some hope in this event.

Started at $6.00 and gave away some ground when 6th last time at this track. Expecting improvement and drawn nicely. Coming to a new trainer but facing formidable opponents. Will be around the mark at good odds.

Honest race when 3rd last start at this venue but testing ability against stronger contenders. First race for a new trainer. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Very tidy performer.

Jumped at $7.50 and moved through the field into 4th last time here but competing in a more challenging grade. Should jump out and bowl along. Worth a serious look.

Was $14.00 and didn't attack the line when 7th last start at Colonial Downs and matched against a stronger field. Displays good tactical speed. Large claim helps. This looks a tough assignment.

Finished well when winning last time around here but competing in a higher grade. Gaddiel A Martinez has a high strike rate on board and showing improvement in recent outings. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.
