Parx Racing Race 2

5 1/2F Stakes

Stake: $42,617

PONTIFFANY (4) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being in contention on the bend over 1207m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EXPECT TO BE READY (1) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) but wasn't all that far from the winner. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. OLD HEAD (5) has switched yards since scoring by 7 lengths at this track over 1207m on June 24. Comes here with definite top-three claims. CASTILLEJA (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.
