Penn National Race 5

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: -

MISTER ME (2) Set a strong tempo before fading to place 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at this track and has a positive draw. Underrated. GORDIAN KNOT (4) Was competitive when 3rd last time at the track. Martin Chuan takes the reins today. Has very good closing speed. Definite claims. FOLLOW THE FELLOW (6) Resumes after a spell. Placed 2nd last start at Monmouth Park and solid performer at this distance in the past. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Appears well in this. REBEL INVASION (3) Dashed home to win last start around here. Ultra competitive this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs. Should be going forward early. Can take this out.

Odds of $8.50 and faded to finish 4th last start at Presque Isle Downs but drawn beautifully. Leonardo Corujo usually performs well for this stable. Displays good finishing speed. Will struggle against these.

Fresh today. Ran well when 2nd last start at Monmouth Park and strong performer at this trip. Should muster plenty of early toe. Competing in a more challenging class. Solid prospects.
