Mountaineer Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
MR MENDELSSOHN (1) lines up for the first time since June 28. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at Aqueduct. Has switched to the Juan C Vazquez yard. Sure to make his presence felt. BERNIE GOES BOOM (2) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at Aqueduct when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Juan C Vazquez stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. NAY'S ONLY ONE (4) started at $5.50 last time but could only manage ninth, beaten 18 lengths, at Charles Town over 1308m. Should park just off the speed. One to consider. TIZ A SHOWDOWN (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1509m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
