Presque Isle Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

LOUISIANIMAL (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 2012m at this track (Synthetic). Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out.

Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. DRIFTWOOD (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 2.25 lengths back in fourth over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). One of the main contenders. THIRD DEGREE (5) was beaten 6 lengths into fourth in a 1673m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Last start got back early 8th of 10 at Mountaineer Park on September 21 over 1207m, 15 len behind Breezer with 56kg at $23.40. The race before that got back early ran second last in a small field at Mountaineer Park on August 17 over 1207m, 12 len behind Battuta D'oro with 56kg at $15.20. Can't recommend.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at this track on September 18 over 2012m, 2.75 len behind Van with 52.5kg at $9. The race before that ran on from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at this track on August 17 over 1673m defeating Secretary Of War with 52.5kg at $2.20. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
