Penn National Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
LEIGH'S LAST HERO (3) arrives off a last-start win at Gulfstream over 1006m, sitting handy and scoring narrowly, and looks suited dropping into this claiming spot. BUZZ ADAMS (6) has been holding form at Penn, including 2nd here over 1207m on Mar 20 then 3rd on May 7, and should be in the finish back to 1005m. HIGHS N GOES (12) was a close 2nd over 1006m at Meadowlands last start and won over this trip at Penn last July, making him a key chance fresh. HEAVY TIMBER (4) has strong 1006m credentials with a Penn win and recent Meadowlands 3rd, and can feature if reproducing that sprint form.
