Mountaineer Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

OPTIMISTIC NATE (5) started at $9.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at Charles Town (Dirt) over 905m. Faces an easier assignment so he is set to turn things around. BEYOND THE BEND (9) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths over 1006m. Going up a level this time but he deserves another chance. BAZOO (6) is resuming from a spell of seven months and having his first run for the Julie Stansbury yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track (Dirt) over 1006m. Has found the right race and is worth including. BROTHER SKYE (8) is back at the races for the first time since November 18. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 905m at this track. One to consider.
