Presque Isle Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

DRIFTWOOD (1) is going well this preparation, including a last start win over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Has a solid record at this circuit. Will prove tough to beat. VIA DELLA SPIGA (7) finished 8 lengths adrift in eighth last time at this track (Synthetic) in a disappointing performance. Israel O Rodriguez gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. LIGHT FURY (4) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 35 lengths when fourth over 1609m at Mountaineer Park four weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DRUNKLE (6) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth over 1673m at this track. Has a sound record here with three wins and six minor placings from 17 starts. Ticks all the right boxes.
