Penn National Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
DROPLINE (6) last appeared when he failed to finish on February 4 at Parx. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. MARGIN OF AIR (7) ran a better race last start when he made late ground to finish a close second over 1207m at Churchill Downs after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. COUNTTHEBRAVE (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LASSO (3) lifted strongly to salute by 1.5 lengths three runs back at Parx (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Andrew Wolfsont who has scored on him five times retains the mount. Don't underestimate.

Comes off a 49 day let-up. Last start ran second last in a small field at this track on August 20 over 1207m, 3 len behind Ortho Star with 55kg at $2.40. Before that came from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at this track on June 19 over 1609m defeating Bronx Boys carrying 54.5kg at $1.90. Not one of the top selections.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 42-day let-up. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at this track on August 27 over 1207m, nose behind Rebel Invasion carrying 56kg at $1.60. The race before that eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Delaware Park on July 23 over 1106m, 0.6 len behind Garofoli with 56.5kg at $3.90. Well placed to take this out.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd in a small field at Churchill Downs on September 26 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Defending Albert with 55kg at $8.63. Before that 4th of 7 at Ellis Park on August 22 over 1308m, 6 len behind C K Wonder carrying 55.5kg at $13.56. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
