Presque Isle Downs Race 2

Claiming

Stake: $19,669

GREY CHARMER (3) made a strong late bid only to just miss when fresh from a spell as favourite last start over 1106m at this track (Synthetic). Sure to derive great benefit from that run. Has raced two times at this course and distance and is yet to be beaten. Hard to beat in this suitable race. JUST WATCH ME NOW (2) ran sixth at his latest appearance over 1207m at this track, clocking in 6 lengths from the winner. Has a sound record here with three wins and three minor placings from 11 starts. Looks to have an edge on most of these. GREG'S HONOR (1) comes here off a break of four months. Scored over 1609m at this track to launch the last campaign. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Katy Cheeks. Has found the right race and is worth including. COURT AND SPARK (5) is resuming from a spell of seven months and having his first run for the Scooter Davis yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track (Synthetic) over 1106m.
