Presque Isle Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

SECRETARY OF WAR (8) has recorded three minor placings from four runs this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) after he was handy all the way. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GOOSE HUNTER (2) lines up on the back of a 3 length fourth over 1673m at this track. Leading contender. PIQUANT (1) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1207m here last time. Was outdashed but got going late and appears suited by the longer journey. Must be included. LOUISIANIMAL (6) was well beaten last time and finished at the tail at this track (Synthetic) but carries less weight today. Rates among the hopes on best form.
