Fonner Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
RU MOR STARTER (3) was in the firing line on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1207m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to find winning ways. PUCKSTER (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 27 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role. BEGGIN FOR TROUBLE (8) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when 29 lengths away in seventh over 1609m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. KEEP UP THE PACE (6) produced another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1609m at Will Rogers Downs. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
