Presque Isle Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
SWEET CAROL JAMES (6) sets the tone up front and brings proven speed at this trip, last seen leading throughout before a 2nd at Finger Lakes over 1106m, and earlier a close 2nd here over 1207m. INTIMATE (8) appeals back to this track after prior Presque Isle placings, including 2nd over 1207m; forgive recent Tampa Bay efforts. GUS'S GAL (5) has the best recent placing of the others with a 2nd at Fair Grounds over 1207m and can measure up dropping back to 1106m.
