Mountaineer Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
REMYS GUNSMOKE (1) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1006m at this track, beaten 9 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. DON'T CROSS JACK (2) is fresh from a spell of 11 weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 1106m. In a different yard now. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. JOE PHILLIPS (8) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fifth over 1006m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after working home well. Likely improver with strong prospects. CLASSIC MO (9) is first-up since August 27. Has a great record when fresh with five successes from six runs including a win over 1207m at Thistledown at the start of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race.

Most recently raced behind the speed prior to fading ran second last of 8 at this track on June 22 over 1006m, 5.5 len behind Courthouse Cove with 56kg at $15.10. The run before that won by 0.8 len at this track May 24 over 905m defeating Joe Phillips with 56kg at $12.10. Needs to improve to trouble the top handful.

Third-up today. Freshened for 49 days. Resuming ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track April 20 over 1106m defeating Beachwalker carrying 56kg at $11.80. Second-up 4th in a small field at this track on May 12 over 1207m, 12 len behind Versatile with 56kg at $10.40. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

Second run back. Comes off a 49-day let-up. First-up after nine months won by 0.8 len at this track May 12 over 905m defeating Scratchoff carrying 55kg at $13.40. Previously second-up ran second last of 7 at this track on May 26 2025 over 1106m, 9 len behind Kool Kathmandu carrying 54.5kg at $22.30. Should progress from that first-up run.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign by 1.0 len Thistledown August 27 over 1207m defeating Corner Office with 54kg at $2.10. Previous preparation first-up to post a big 4 len win. Thistledown June 11 2025 over 1207m defeating Hartstein carrying 54kg at $3.80. Solid top-three proposition.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 44-day let-up. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.75 len at this track May 17 over 1106m defeating Smart Coverage with 56kg at $1.70. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on May 5 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Class Actor with 56kg at $1.90. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
