Fonner Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming
MY UNCLE LEON (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Delta Downs (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 0.3 lengths as favourite last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to make it two on the bounce. GRAPNEL (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2 lengths away in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THUNDERSHOOK (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track. Has a solid second up record. Fitter and sure to run well. TIME MACHINE (8) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Will be in this for a long way.
