Parx Racing Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
TAP AND A HUG (9) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1308m at this track (Dirt) a month ago, getting home by 4.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. CALIFORNIA SMOKE (3) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths as favourite over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish again. MISS ANNA BELLA (1) returns after a spell of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1609m at Penn National. Among the better hopes. NOULIKEABOOK (10) started at $3.20 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 10 lengths, at this track over 1308m. Solid record at this distance with three wins and one placing from six runs and deserves respect.

Resuming after a break of five months. Finished off last preparation third of 8 at this track June 8 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Champagne Mischief with 55.5kg at $4. When resuming last campaign third of 7 at this track May 2 over 1207m, 2.25 len behind Mila Rose carrying 53kg at $3.90. Doesn't appeal.
