Presque Isle Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming

VAN (2) did a great job to score by 1.3 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. STARSHIP EMPIRE (1) has registered three minor placings from four runs this campaign. Continued the trend last start when runner-up over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) after he was handy all the way. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. STANDPOINT (3) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on three consecutive occasions, before finishing fourth last time out over 1609m at this track. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and should be involved in the finish. SPETTRO (6) is a distance specialist who is progressing well this preparation, getting the job done by one length last time out over 1673m at Finger Lakes (Dirt). Nicely placed to feature in the finish again.
