Parx Racing Race 3 - 1m 1/2f Stakes

MISSOURI RIVER (5) started at $8.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. NIXON JOY (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. CELESTIAL MOON (3) was last at the races when he finished fourth over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt) on June 22 2025. Makes plenty of appeal. UNION EXPRESS (6) raced on pace for much of the way before fading in the straight to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1609m here last time. Can do much better.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 7 at this track on July 9 over 1710m, 4 len behind Elusive Target carrying 56.5kg at $15.60. The run before that got back early ran second last in a small field at this track on June 23 over 1609m, 8 len behind Transcendental with 56.5kg at $5.80. Everything points towards a big run.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of 13 months. Finished off last campaign fourth of 7 at Aqueduct June 22 2025 over 1811m, 10 len behind Empty Tomb with 55kg at $3.55. Previously first up; second last in a small field at Aqueduct March 22 2025 over 1609m, 12 len behind Legal Deal with 56kg at $2.50. Definite winning hope.
