Penn National Race 5

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: $36,952

SASSY LAD (1) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by 0.3 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. SOPHIA'S PRINCE (3) proved too strong two runs ago at Parx. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1308m at Parx, beaten 10 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to bounce back to form. TROPHY ROOM (2) showed good speed and fought on for second over 1006m at this track (Dirt) last time. One of the main contenders. SAPONARA (6) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. Something for the Multiples: GREY STREAK (5)
