Mountaineer Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

EMBER (5) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. GOLD BUCKLE (6) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 1609m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. LEO AND ROYAL (1) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at this track (Dirt) before finishing second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. CLEVELAND POWER (9) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 18 when beaten 12 lengths into fourth at Belterra Park (Dirt) over 1207m. Has the class to take care of this field.
