Parx Racing Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

MAXIMUS MERIDIUS (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 3 lengths, over 1308m at this track. Form over this journey is strong, boasting five wins from 10 starts. Drops back in grade. Among the leading chances this field. HOUGHTON SHUFFLE (4) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past six starts. Last time out he finished third over 1308m at this track. Leading contender. SPIKEZONE (1) has two wins and two minor placings from five races this preparation. Found one better last start in stakes class at Delaware Park (Dirt) over 1207m after being racing in the leading division. Has the ability to get the prize. SUBROGATE (2) had support when resuming last time out but never threatened when a disappointing sixth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1207m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Boasts a 100% top-three strike rate when second up. Solid contender in this line up.
