Presque Isle Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming

CALVIN'S RIDE (3) clocked-in second behind John Dutton last time out at this track (Synthetic) over 1207m. Has a strong record this course, scoring at five of 10 starts. Best form puts him right in this. ROCKET DRAGON (4) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1308m at this track (Synthetic) when beaten 1.75 lengths. Has a solid record at this circuit. Will prove tough to beat. THE MINKSTER (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1408m at Kentucky, beaten 10 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he will prove hard to beat. JIMMY THE HAT (6) wasn't far away in his two starts prior to sub-par sixth last time out over 1710m at Listed level at this track (Synthetic). Better than last start and can bounce back.
