Mountaineer Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

TALKIN PHAROAH (5) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fifth when fresh from a spell two starts back at Charles Town (Dirt) then improved and scored as public elect over 905m at Charles Town (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. L A Batista gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. SHRINER (9) worked home well and finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1106m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, an improvement on his sixth at Belterra Park Turf the run before. Has the ability to figure prominently. PRINTRACK (8) held on well to finish second when first-up from a break last time out over 1106m at Thistledown (Dirt) after leading for much of the way. Bold showing expected. MEAN TWEETS (2) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
