Mountaineer Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

EMBER (9) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Backmarker who gets home hard. Will prove hard to hold out. GOLD BUCKLE (10) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, finishing 6 lengths from the winner. Sure to prove tough to stop. TAPIO (2) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1609m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Nicely placed to get the prize. CHOPPED (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects.
