Mountaineer Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

COMETOTHEDARKSIDE (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1106m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to test this line-up. SHORE TIME (5) was prominent from the outset and fought on for second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Wide draw and will need a good steer from L Negron. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. HIGH SPARK (6) finished 13 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt) on May 25. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove tough to stop. PRIME SHOPPING (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 1408m at Charles Town (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Well placed and can fill a top-three spot.
