Mountaineer Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
ROYAL SALUTE (4) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Finds a suitable assignment and can continue the winning form. BOSLEY (5) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 5 lengths over 1509m at this track (Turf). Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. TOOLPUSHER (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Delaware Park Turf (Turf) over 1509m. Has the talent to produce a better result. TRAIN AND TRUST (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.

Comes off a 33 day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 8 at this track on May 19 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Letmeknowbeforeugo carrying 56kg at $22.80. The start before that got back early 3rd in a small field at Penn National on April 10 over 1673m, 9 len behind Where's My Chew with 56kg at $6.70. Can't see him troubling these.
