Parx Racing Race 6 - 5 1/2f Stakes
ESSENTIALLY FAST (1) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 1207m at Monmouth Park (Dirt) when he worked home in great style, making it two minor placings in a row. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. SUNNY MAGIC (2) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 11 lengths, over 1710m at this track. Ticks all the right boxes. WE MISS NEIL (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only one length over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. DRAKE DRIVE (3) turned in another moderate effort last start when 14 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1106m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
