Parx Racing Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HAUNTING ECHOES (2) Charged home to win last time at Penn National and can find a nice position from the draw. Placed at every start this campaign. Expect to go close. AMOR ALA MEXICANA (1) Reeled them in to win last time at this venue and gets a favourable draw. Getting better in recent performances. Goes very close. WEST OF LEX (6) Gave away some ground when 5th last start at Delaware Park. Likely to bounce back but will be dropping in distance. Have to respect the recent stable form. Winning hope. M BS MELANIE CARES (4) First run back from a break. Controlled the speed when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last time at Saratoga. Shows good early pace. Worth strong consideration.

Jumped at $18.00 and struggled with the pace when 6th last start at Laurel Park. May see an upturn in form but up against tougher opponents. Nice value bet.

Resuming. Assumed control from the start when winning by 3 1/2L last time at Saratoga. Should come to hand quickly. Some respect.

Started at $6.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last start at Delaware Park. Likely to bounce back but back to a shorter trip. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Value runner.
