Mountaineer Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

THOUGHT (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at $2.90. Has the ability to take this out. DEADPAN (8) lines up for the first time since April 3. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1710m at Colonial Downs. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Now under the care of new trainer Anthony Farrior. Has found the right race. STATES UNITED (5) lines up for the first time since April 4. Looking to emulate his win at Laurel to kick off the last campaign. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Anthony Farrior. Makes plenty of appeal. ARAK (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Comes off a 57 day let-up. At the latest run ran second last of 7 at this track on May 12 over 1609m, 12 len behind Arak carrying 54.5kg at $7.20. The start before that 8th of 10 at Oaklawn Park on April 2 over 1710m, 20 len behind Winter's Ghost with 53.5kg at $15.30. This looks too tough.

At the latest run eased back early on 6th of 9 at this track on June 28 over 1207m, 7 len behind Main Line Cipher with 56kg at $11.10. Before that won by 1.3 len at this track June 1 over 1207m defeating Julie's Ferrari carrying 56kg at $4.30. Might just find this a bit too tough.

When resuming last campaign second in a small field at Colonial Downs March 15 2025 over 1710m, 2 len behind Passing Game carrying 56kg at $6.80. Look for a bold run.
