Mountaineer Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming

A OK (3) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for second. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is a leading contender. TUP'S TO TAKE (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from five runs. Big chance once again. SHOTGUN MARGARET (6) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn as public elect over 1207m at this track (Dirt). No reason she cannot salute again. DEMBE ZUMA (4) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1207m at this track. Winning claims on best figures.
