Presque Isle Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

DRIFTWOOD (1) held on well to finish second last time out over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) after leading for much of the way. Well-placed and is going to prove tough to run down. J P HELLISH (6) is an imported 10-year-old having his first run in this area for the George S Bush barn. Has not raced since he finished off last campaign with a win over 1408m at Fort Erie Turf three months ago. Not seen at the trials but he is among the leading chances. LOUISIANIMAL (4) reunites with Ciera Pruitt after scoring with ease over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) last time. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One to consider. FINN MCSORLEY (9) is a distance specialist who bounced back last start and landed the prize by 1.3 lengths over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.

Racing well recently. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at this track on August 25 over 1673m, 0.5 len behind Drunkle with 56.5kg at $4.60. The run before that won by 0.5 len at this track on July 29 over 1673m defeating Maynard with 56kg at $6.10. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last preparation won by a nose at Fort Erie Turf on June 7 over 1408m defeating Mannix carrying 55.5kg at $1.55. When resuming last campaign 2nd of 11 at Turfway Park on December 4 over 1609m, 0.5 len behind Elusive Target carrying 55kg at $4.21. Expect a bold showing.
