Presque Isle Downs Race 8 - Presque Isle Mile S. Stakes
NEOEQUOS (8) is going well with three minor placings from four starts this campaign. Produced another good effort last start when third over 1710m in Listed grade at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) after he was handy all the way. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. ENCINO (1) got the job done last start at Listed level at this track (Synthetic) over 1673m after he was prominent at the turn. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with six wins from seven starts. Axel Concepcion who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Among the leading chances. BRITAIN'S KITTEN (2) has been thereabouts all prep, last time out finishing second over 1673m in stakes class at this track (Synthetic) at the third run back. Well placed in this easier race. Should be involved in the finish. FORTUNE SELLER (7) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) after showing good early speed. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. Something for the Multiples: GROUNDED (3)
