Presque Isle Downs Race 6

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $54,779

CACTUS CAIRO (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) five-and-a-half months ago and has not raced since. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. INSPIRE COURAGE (6) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1207m at this track last start. Should camp just off the leaders. Best figures should see her run well. TRAIL OF ROSES (4) was a most impressive winner last time over 1207m at this track (Synthetic), scoring by 6 lengths. Has been in the money at all three starts this preparation, including a win. One of the main contenders. JUST ONE KISS (2) was comfortably accounted for when eighth last time out over 1006m at Penn National Turf, beaten 9 lengths, after a win at Penn National at the previous outing. In contention this time.

Most recently ran last of 8 at Penn National Turf on August 18 over 1006m, 9 len behind Hopeforgreatness with 56.5kg at $9.10. Before that won by 1.3 len at Penn National on July 30 over 1006m defeating Queen Ofthe Cosmos with 56.5kg at $2.40. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
