Presque Isle Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

SHOWDOWN KING (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.75 lengths at this track (Synthetic). Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Top chance again. THALBERG (6) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1207m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MRS MANICOTTI (4) is in top form with two wins on end, the latest by 1.5 lengths over 1106m at this track (Synthetic) eight weeks ago. Form here at the trip is sound with three wins and two minor placings from seven runs. One of the main contenders. TOOMUCHAINTENOUGH (1) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when ninth over 1006m at Mountaineer Park Turf (Turf). In the right race and should be about the money. Something for the Multiples: MRS. MANICOTTI (4) WROTE IN STONE (3)

Chasing a hat-trick. Returns from a 55-day let-up. At the latest run won by 1.5 len at this track on July 7 over 1106m defeating Jasmines World with 56.5kg at $2. The run before that won by 2 len at this track on June 16 over 1106m defeating Bucchini carrying 56kg at $5.60. Hard to beat if she brings her A-game.
