Penn National Race 5

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $60,467

ELOQUIST (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 8 lengths when fourth over 1609m at Parx five-and-a-half weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. UNCLE CAESAR (1) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 0.3 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. SOCIALLY AWKWARD (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. GOODAFTERNOONOSCAR (3) was safely held when resuming last start over 1710m at Laurel (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 43 lengths. Solid contender in this line up.
