Penn National Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

SOUNDS LIKE FUN (5) was quickly into stride over 1673m at Penn National Turf (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by 7 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SHOWMANCE (6) resumed over 1207m last time out and turned in a solid effort to finish second at this track (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Yet to miss the frame over this longer journey. Right in the mix. GRANDE FELINO (4) lines up on the back of a 5 length fourth over 1207m at this track. Among the main hopes. PERGAMON (2) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in sixth on turf at Penn National Turf two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Penn National Turf over 1609m when 4.5 lengths adrift in fifth. Sound claims on his return to the dirt.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 7 len at Penn National Turf July 2 over 1673m defeating Batant with 56.5kg at $1.05. The race before that 4th of 12 at Penn National Turf on June 12 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Nilambar with 56kg at $1.60. Another win cannot be ruled out.

Second-up. First-up after two months 2nd in a small field at this track on July 7 over 1207m, 1.0 len behind Designed By Smarty with 54.5kg at $3.90. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track March 19 over 1673m defeating Bermuda Triangle with 55kg at $5.60. Strong winning chance.
