Fonner Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
MY UNCLE LEON (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.75 lengths away in second over 1509m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. GRAPNEL (4) has switched yards since finishing fourth five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1408m at Charles Town. Has ability and should be right in the finish. THUNDERSHOOK (7) is returning from a spell of eight months. Finished tenth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Marvin Johnson. Sound top-three prospects. MO MOVES (8) finished 8 lengths from the winner in seventh last time out over 1308m at Delta Downs (Dirt) on January 2. Has a high cruising speed. In the mix.
