Mountaineer Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

HANDSOME FOX (8) has switched yards since finishing sixth eight days ago over 1609m at Mountaineer Park Turf. Well-placed and sure to feature. STATE OF ATTACK (6) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1408m at Mountaineer Park Turf two-and-a-half weeks ago as $2.9 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Solid winning chance. MEXICALI MIKE (7) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when sixth, beaten 22 lengths, over 1408m at Charles Town (Dirt). Has the ability to take this out. CANDY CONNECTION (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Mountaineer Park Turf, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
