Presque Isle Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
GREATEST JOY (3) Ran home into 3rd last start here and dropping in grade. Will be hitting the line strongly. Showing positive results this preparation and putting a tidy record together. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. BAROMETRIC (5) Faded away to finish 6th last time at Woodbine. Likely to bounce back and good career start. Will be positive in the run early. Rising in grade. Can go on with it. TRUE BLESSING (4) First up and dashed home to win first up last preparation at Gulfstream Park. Coming to a new trainer and taking on a lower class of opponents. Expected to fight out the finish. ALMIGHTY ONE (1) Mediocre attempt when 9th last time at Saratoga but gets a favourable draw. Always seems to find the line well. Keep in mind.

Not up to standard when 9th last time at Saratoga but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Should get going late. One for the value hunters.

Good effort to place 3rd last start here and back in an easier grade. In a purple patch of form since resuming from a break and promising career start. Well respected contender.

First up and ran home strongly to win first up last preparation at Gulfstream Park. Racing for a new trainer and competing at a lower level of competition. Should go well.

Odds of $16.00 and didn't find the line when 6th last time at Woodbine. Likely to bounce back and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Worth a lot of thought in this race.
