Mountaineer Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Ratings Optional Claiming
FIVEFIVE SIX CHAMP (7) went forward when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 3 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is perfectly placed to score. PRIORITY LANE (3) proved too strong last start and scored by a nose over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with one win and four minor placings. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. TRIGGER POINT (1) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1207m at this track. L A Batista gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. BUSTIN LOOSE (5) was in a different class last time out, settling well back before rounding up his rivals to score by 2 lengths over 1006m at Mountaineer Park Turf (Dirt). Has a fine record here with four wins from 10 starts. Too good to ignore. Something for the Multiples: JOHNNYFRENCHFRI (4)

Previously second-up ran second last in a small field at Mahoning Valley on October 21 over 1207m, 11 len behind Faster Gator with 56kg at $16. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.
