Presque Isle Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
MR BOBO (1) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Will drift back but is sure to prove tough to beat. EQUATOR (6) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1673m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MUSKET MAGIC (2) is yet to break through after 10 starts. Last time out was fourth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be competitive. BESTBALL (3) showed good early speed when resuming last start over today's journey at this track (Synthetic) before finishing third, beaten 8 lengths. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. Something for the Multiples: MINOTAUR (5)

He is resuming after a 11 weeks break. Finished off last campaign eighth of 12 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf August 6 over 1609m, 13 len behind Quiet Mischief carrying 55.5kg at $21. On debut third in a small field at this track July 15 over 1673m, 5 len behind Guitarist carrying 50kg at $9. Doesn't appeal.
