Parx Racing Race 7 - 6 1/2f Hcap

BUCCHERINO (1) returns from a break of six-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1207m at this track. Has a strong fresh record including two wins. Looks sure to be in the finish. MAXIMUS MERIDIUS (3) was first up from a spell last start and saluted by 0.3 lengths in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Has a strong record this course, scoring at seven of 13 starts. Likely to feature. HOUGHTON SHUFFLE (5) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 1207m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Yabriel O Ramos sticks. Has winning claims on best figures. SPIKEZONE (6) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 2.25 lengths as public elect over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.

Second run back. First-up after five months won by a 0.3 len in stakes class at this track at this track on July 18 over 1207m defeating Houghton Shuffle with 58kg at $2.10. Previously second-up scored a big 4 len win at Listed level at this track at this track on December 31 over 1408m defeating Dropline with 57kg at $2.30. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
