Presque Isle Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
TODO MEN (7) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Turfway Park but raced below expectations last time over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. YES CHEF (6) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to find the placings at Turfway Park (Synthetic) two starts back before finishing 11th over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt) last start. Likely to play a major role. GRAMP'S LEGACY (1) resumes from a spell of five months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Nicely placed and can get off the mark. STANZ COMING (3) stepped out for his debut over 1106m at this track (Synthetic) back on August 13 and finished fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well.

Four-year-old colt by Astern out of Smartlee Away who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Maybe later.
