Presque Isle Downs Race 7 - Tom Ridge S. Stakes
FASTER GATOR (5) was well held over 1207m in Listed grade at Pimlico (Dirt) last time out. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. MENSA (3) is a three-year-old colt who is having his first run for the Riley Mott stable. Resumes after finishing seventh in Listed grade at Woodbine at his last run nine months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks well placed. Expected to be in the finish. BIG VINCE (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 27/04/2025, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths over 1207m at Listed level at Woodbine. Looks a strong top-three prospect. GOLDEN AFTERNOON (7) was beaten 7 lengths into ninth in a 1710m contest at Churchill Downs two months ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
