Presque Isle Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
SO GRAND (3) is a 18-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 3.5 lengths when fourth over 1106m at this track (Synthetic). Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break his maiden status. HIGHTAIL FOX (5) finished second last time out when resuming over 1106m at this track (Synthetic), making it eight career minor placings. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three five times. Sure to prove very tough to beat. LEO Q (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1106m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALABAMA SLEEPER (6) is a four-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Randall Russell. By Bucchero from Streethomealabama. Watch the market closely.
