Presque Isle Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
SO GRAND (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 13 lengths when fifth over 1207m at this track two weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TROPHY HUSBAND (1) was prominent from the outset and fought on for second last start over 1609m at this track (Synthetic), making it two minor placings in a row. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ALABAMA SLEEPER (3) has been in great form with three placings in succession, most recently when beaten 4 lengths into second over 1207m at this track (Synthetic) when he was prominent throughout. Likely improver with strong prospects. IL PRINCIPADO (4) returns from a spell of ten weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Mountaineer Park Turf (Dirt) over 1006m when first-up last time in work.

Third race start. First start ran last of 7 at Santa Anita Turf on June 13 2024 over 1006m, 11 len behind Tiz Happy with 53.5kg at $30. Went for a break before returning 4th of 8 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on September 1 over 1207m, 6 len behind Cardinal Union carrying 56kg at $2.50. Likely improver.
