Mountaineer Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming
BUTTON BOX (4) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 905m at this track (Turf) last start to make it three straight. Far too good last time and expected to go right on with it. EL GAVILAN (7) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at Belterra Park (Turf) over 1006m when beaten 2.5 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. DROPKICK MURPHY (5) turned things around last start and scored by 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner as public elect over 1006m at this track (Turf). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. KOOL KATHMANDU (1) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Solid claims on best form.
