Presque Isle Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
COLE'S VALENTINE (1) Nice run when 3rd last time at this track and has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Has been a model of consistency since resuming from a spell. This suits. REWARDANN'SWARRIOR (4) Worked hard to finish 2nd last start at the track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should come to hand quickly. Can go on with it. BACK NINE (2) Ran 4th last start at Prairie Meadows. Giving another chance here and has a positive alley. Should get going late. Hard to overlook. CAPARBIA (7) Disappointing display when 8th last time at Mountaineer Park but returns to an increased distance. The large claim from Ciera Pruitt should help. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope.

In the money when 3rd last time around here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. In fine form since resuming from a break. Will not be far away.

Started $9.50 and was well beaten when 5th last run at Prairie Meadows. Does take a while to get into stride. This looks a tough assignment.

Was quite a handful for the competition when 2nd beaten by just over 8L last start at this track and form has been improving over recent runs. Has every chance.

Started $18.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 7th last run at Penn National but rising in trip. Have to respect the recent Brandon L Kulp form. Others are more appealing.

At $11.00 disappointing run when 7th last run around here but having second career run. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Taylor Kingsley takes a large claim. This won't be easy.

Unimpressive effort when 8th last time at Mountaineer Park but returns to more ground. Large claim helps. Should be included in your exotics.
