Fonner Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

OPTIMAL (8) Made some ground late when 3rd beaten by 3L last start at this venue. Producing consistent results this preparation. Underrated. BARBIERE (1) Tailed off to finish 7th last start around here. Should improve here and has drawn to do little work. Back in trip. Has to be strongly considered. LIFE ON THE NILE (4) Ran home strongly to win last run at the track but dropping in distance. Jockey Kevin Roman and trainer Isai V Gonzalez deserve serious attention. Getting better in recent performances. Winnable race. PERVASIVE (6) Picked up late to win last run at the track. Very strong each way claims.
