Mountaineer Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

SMALL FIELD (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth in a 2012m contest at Presque Isle Downs two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BRING ME A CHECK (2) is a nine-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Juan R Aguirre yard. Finished off last campaign with a win at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) eight months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks well placed. Expected to be in the finish. MY BALBOA (3) was in the money on the dirt at this track two runs ago then backed it up with a win, also on dirt, at this track over 1207m two weeks ago. In form and looks hard to beat again. BUTTON BOX (9) produced a reasonable run when returning from a break last start over 1006m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic), finishing 5 lengths from the winner in fifth. Loves racing here and has managed eight wins from 13 visits. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Must be respected.
