Mountaineer Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming

PALLINO (3) travelled in a rearwards position and didn't fire over 1106m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. ALL JOKES ASIDE (6) ran well below his best last time over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth at $3.10. Well placed and can bounce back. BUTTON BOX (4) returns from a spell of nine months and it is noteworthy that he has scored at his past two first-up appearances, last prep over 1006m at this track. Has found a suitable race to kick off the campaign. TAP EM (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 8 at Thistledown on May 2 over 1207m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind Atkins carrying 56kg at $3.10. The run before that won by 1.75 len at Turfway Park March 26 over 1207m defeating Holding The Line carrying 55kg at $2.10. Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.
