Presque Isle Downs Race 7 - Avery Whisman Memorial S. Stakes
ENCINO (1) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fourth, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1710m at Listed level at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Drops back in grade. Leading contender. WOODCOURT (4) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing fifth over 1673m in Listed grade at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) last start. Can feature prominently. BRITAIN'S KITTEN (2) made a nice return two starts back then settled well back and found a few when fifth over 1811m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) two-and-a-half weeks ago. Can bounce back to his best form. ROCK N ROLL BOLT (6) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1710m at Belterra Park (Dirt). Sound record at this distance with two wins and two minor placings from five runs and is one of the better hopes.
