Parx Racing Race 5

6 1/2F Stakes

Stake: $87,290

BOOTLEG RUNNER (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.75 lengths away in third over 1207m in stakes class at Penn National (Dirt). In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. STAR SWEEPER (8) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 11 lengths behind Balboa over 1207m in stakes class at Laurel (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. WAVE RIDER (3) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt), scoring by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he cannot be underestimated. OUR NOTION (4) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 10 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Must be respected.
