Penn National Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

SASSY LAD (1) Was strong on the speed before fading to finish 3rd beaten by 1/2L last start at this track and can save some energy from the barrier. Won't be far away. RAPID RESPONSE (2) Ran over the top of them when winning last run at the track and drawn nicely. Jockey Andrew Wolfsont and trainer Elisha Perez have shared plenty of success together. Not out of this. INFAMOUS NONO (3) Picked up late to win last time at this track and proven performer at this distance. Racing consistently this campaign and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Include in chances. FIRE DOWN BELOW (5) Didn't threaten when 5th last start at Finger Lakes. Expecting improvement here. Very competitive this campaign. Will be hitting the line strongly. One of the hopes.
