Penn National Race 2

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $60,837

MY FLICKER (4) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1207m at Colonial Downs, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at Saratoga at the previous outing. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. THREE POLKS (3) resumes from a spell of nine weeks and comes here off the back of three straight wins. A R Rodriguez aboard again and expected to go very well. BACK FORTY (1) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 4 lengths win over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. KOKOPELLI GIRL (2) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins from three starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix.

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation by 0.8 len this track June 26 over 1207m defeating Back Forty with 56kg at $1.80. Previous preparation first-up to post a big 3 len win. This track May 2 over 1207m defeating Marion Grace with 54.5kg at $3. This is an ideal race to kick off.
