Mountaineer Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
CAESAREA (2) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Thistledown, beaten 6 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. DISTINGUISHED GENT (5) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 17 lengths into fifth over 1609m at Mountaineer Park. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. ATOMIC WAR (1) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 8 lengths when fifth in a 1609m contest at this track four weeks ago. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. THEY NOT LIKE US (4) was beaten 7 lengths into fourth over 1609m at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed to turn things around.
