Parx Racing Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
PATERNO (4) was an effortless winner last time over 1106m at Penn National (Dirt), scoring by 4.5 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. GATSBY (3) proved too strong two runs ago at Finger Lakes. Safely held last time out when fifth over 1207m at Laurel, beaten 4 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he is a leading player. TRY HARDER (7) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over this journey at Delaware Park (Dirt). Can feature in the finish. EASY ACTION (1) started at $5.80 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1308m. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Must be respected.
