Mountaineer Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
MR BUSINESS (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well when returning from a break last time at this track (Turf), finishing second and only half a length from the winner at the end of 1609m after being prominent at the turn. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is likely to play a big role. EL KOZAN (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 12 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1609m at this track. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. IL VAGABUNDO (3) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1207m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Has the talent to produce a better result. FERNANDO'S GOLD (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Mountaineer Park, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
