Parx Racing Race 8 - 1M 1/2F Stakes
SHALLUS (8) accounted for a maiden field over 1609m at Penn National (Dirt) last start, finishing 5 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. A R Rodriguez was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Capable of taking the next step. REAL MEN VIOLIN (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fourth in a 1609m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PLAY THE GRAY (5) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1673m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 8 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. WEEK'S STRONG (2) finished third last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; won by 4 len at this track March 30 over 1308m defeating Penn Franklin with 55kg at $2.70. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on March 5 over 1308m, 1.1 len behind Up The Kingdom carrying 56.5kg at $2.10. Broke through last time and is worth thought again.

Racing well recently. At the latest run won by 5 len at Penn National April 3 over 1609m defeating Explosive Love carrying 56kg at $1.70. Before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Turfway Park on March 12 over 1609m, 3.5 len behind Bourbon Flight with 57kg at $7.85. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
