Parx Racing Race 8 - 1M Stakes
EXCELLORATOR (2) was well fancied last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 13 lengths. Generally goes well here. Leading contender. RECKER POINT (1) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1673m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MARGIN OF AIR (6) went forward and gave a great sight when second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from four starts. Has to be respected. JUST STEP ON IT (4) comes here off a break of eight months. Scored over 1609m at this track to launch the last campaign. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
