Presque Isle Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
T' RAY (2) Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 2nd last time at this venue and will try to take advantage of the gate. Should muster plenty of early toe. Has to be strongly considered. TALKIN TOUGH (4) 3yo debutant by Independence Hall for Kevin Rice. Follow the money. SOMETHING FAST (3) Not in contention when 4th last start at Belterra Park but stepping up in trip. Include in chances. ALEXANDER K (5) Was found wanting late when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last time at this track and form has been improving over recent runs. Keep in mind.

Odds of $10.00 and unimpressive effort when 7th last start at Mountaineer Park but has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Likely to get back in the run. Looks highly doubtful.

Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last time here and has a good draw. Expecting to settle positively. Holds a major chance.

Jumped at $16.00 and not up to standard when 4th last start at Belterra Park but rising in trip. In the mix against these.

3yo by Independence Hall having first race appearance for Kevin Rice. Betting is the best guide.

Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 3rd beaten by 3/4L last time at this track and showing improvement in recent outings. Can go close.

Backing up quickly for this race. Started at $36.00 and was ordinary when 6th last run at the track but back to a rise in trip. Difficult to warm to at present.
