Presque Isle Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
DONT BLAME COURT (5) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Synthetic) over 1207m after being in the firing line on the corner. In the right race and is a winning hope. HOT GAMER (7) remains a maiden after three runs. Met with plenty of support last time but could only manage to finish eighth over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after she got a long way back in the run. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. SHAUNNASAPRILFOOL (4) was beaten 2.5 lengths into second at this track two starts ago then finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at this track (Synthetic). Shapes well and is among the main hopes. HOPE RISING (1) was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1106m at this track at her latest appearance. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.

Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at this track on October 1 over 1106m, 6 len behind Aye Bay Bay with 53kg at $3.60. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
