Presque Isle Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
DONT BLAME COURT (5) Made some ground late when 2nd last start around here. Great to see jockey Antonio A Gallardo taking the ride. Respect. HOPE RISING (1) Gave away some ground when 5th last time around here. Expecting improvement and drawn the rails. Deserves consideration. SHAUNNASAPRILFOOL (4) Ran 4th last time around here. Happy to forgive that run. Can go on with it. HOT GAMER (7) Folded up in the straight when 8th last run at Churchill Downs. Capable of bouncing back. Expecting to settle positively. Racing for a new trainer. Must respect in this event.

Was $3.40 and faded away to finish 5th last time here. Expecting improvement and has drawn the rails. Jockey Israel O Rodriguez and trainer Scooter Davis deserve serious attention. Definitely worth considering.

First up after a break of 26 weeks. Was $8.50 and couldn't stay in touch when 8th last time at Tampa Bay Downs but has a good draw. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

Back from a 51 week spell. Lost ground in the run home when 8th last start at Gulfstream Park. Change in trainer. Looks too tough.

Odds of $36.00 and closed off nicely when 5th last run at this track. A 25 start maiden. Likely to get back in the field. Hard to see this being good enough.
