Presque Isle Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
EPIC SUMMER (3) was below his best last time, finishing ninth and beaten 40 lengths over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. NUTS AND BOLTS (4) was a most impressive winner last time over 1673m at this track (Synthetic), scoring by 6 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from four starts. Expected to feature. SPEAKER'S LOBBY (6) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 0.1 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. BUCK'S HOWL (2) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.25 lengths at today's course and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of another big performance.
