Mountaineer Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
BIG EFFECT (4) was well in commission last start over 1006m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Rates highly and expected to atone. DUSTY BILLY (8) comes here off a break of 14 months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1106m at Mahoning Valley. Has found a suitable race. BODYSLAM (6) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. MAJOR TOM (9) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 12 when beaten 7 lengths into fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. In the right race and should be thereabouts.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on July 1 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Ready For Action carrying 56kg at $12.90. Second run from a spell 4th of 9 at this track on July 21 over 1207m, 6 len behind Law Of The Jungle with 56kg at $6.60. Capable of a big finish so don't write him off.

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on July 19 over 1006m, 2.5 len behind Shiva with 56kg at $1.50. The race before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 9 at this track on July 15 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Ninety Two carrying 56kg at $1.80. Low draw and expected to go well.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming failed to make an impression; 5th of 8 at this track on June 29 over 1106m, 9 len behind Ninety Two carrying 56kg at $6.20. Last start 4th of 7 at this track on July 15 over 1006m, 7 len behind Mat Matters with 56kg at $16. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Resuming. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Thistledown May 28 2025 over 1207m, 9 len behind Ollie's Folly carrying 54kg at $5.60. On debut third of 8 at Mahoning Valley October 28 2024 over 1106m, 5 len behind Professor Nick carrying 55.5kg at $9.80. Looks a key runner.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at this track on July 20 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Raji carrying 56kg at $17. The run before that ran second last of 8 at this track on July 12 over 1609m, 28 len behind Soupersilverdollar with 56kg at $32. Other runners are much more appealing.
