Mountaineer Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

ROUNDBALL ROCK (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. FORMAL AFFAIR (2) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1710m at Charles Town (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. LOMACHENKO (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Must be included among the main hopes. MORE THAN FIVE (6) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Not raced for 49 days. First-up won by 9 len at this track on August 5 over 1609m defeating Zippy Gizmo with 56kg at $8.40. Second-up got back early 3rd in a small field at this track on August 18 over 1609m, 12 len behind Grimes carrying 56kg at $3.60. Might just find this a bit too tough.
