Canterbury Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming

EMPIRE'S BEST (1) is racing very well this campaign with six wins from 14 attempts. Won two starts back at this track (Dirt) and was close again last time out. Ezequiel Lara sticks. Leading contender. YO DAWG (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1006m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Nicely placed to get the prize. MUCHO GIFTED (4) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1006m at Harrah's Columbus Nebraska. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. SPEIGHTY WAR (5) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1006m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
