Presque Isle Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
PEAK PERFORMER (2) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Turfway Park but raced below expectations last time over 2213m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf), finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. WHINE COUNTRY (4) finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track (Synthetic) after he was prominent at the turn. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SQUEEZE PLAY (5) is on debut. By Quality Road and hails from the Miguel Clement stable. Respect any positive move in betting. WAZEY'S CHARM (1) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Lance Stokes. By Mendelssohn from Herwaze. Top-three chance.

First-starter by Mendelssohn out of Herwaze. Tough to line up. Betting the best pointer.
