Penn National Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming

LA MACCHINA ROSSA (2) Racing fresh after a break. Caught the eye when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last run at the track and facing a rise in trip. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. AFRICAN ANGEL (1) Strong effort to run into 3rd beaten by 3 1/2L last start here and can save some energy from the barrier. Should get going late. Solid place bet prospects. SHIGEKO (3) Was rock solid when winning by 3 3/4L last start here. Carlos Eduardo Lopez usually performs well for this stable. One of the hopes. EXTREMELY GRUNTLED (4) Controlled the speed when winning by a margin of nearly 9L last start at this venue. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. First appearance for a new trainer. Include in chances.
