Turfway Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CHISELER (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 6 lengths away in seventh over 1308m at this track. Nicely placed to get the prize. HOGIE THE PLAYER (9) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by 0.3 lengths over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. WILLIE BIRD (3) is back from a spell of 13 months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1207m at Hawthorne (Dirt). Will be hard to stop. FOND FAREWELL (11) resumes after a break of six-and-a-half months. Trying to repeat his debut win over 1106m at Churchill Downs to kick off last prep. Top-three claims. Something for the Multiples: MONEY WAR (4) SHOW OF FORCE (1)
