Starter Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $30,211

DATESFREEDOM (4) is a distance specialist who finished sixth two runs back at Aqueduct (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.1 lengths as public elect after being prominent at the corner over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. COACH BAHE (2) was beaten just 0.1 lengths last start when second in a small field over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Distance specialist with five wins and 10 minor placings from 22 runs and is right in this. ROSE'S PEPINO (1) registered a strong win at Mountaineer Park two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when second over 1609m at Mountaineer Park, beaten a nose. Has the class to take care of this field. OUR MAN MIKE (6) returns after a spell of seven months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims.

Comments

Recent form sound. Most recently made ground from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Mountaineer Park on June 9 over 1609m, nose behind Indian Empire carrying 56kg at $2.20. The run before that won by 8 len at Mountaineer Park May 13 over 1609m defeating Signofthecross carrying 56kg at $1.60. Worth thought after getting close last time.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Useful gelding. Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at this track on June 11 over 1673m, 0.1 len behind Datesfreedom with 57kg at $2.85. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on May 27 over 1673m, 0.3 len behind Honorable Avenue carrying 57kg at $1.75. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Resumes after a break of seven months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation by 0.5 len this track November 20 over 2012m defeating Horse Be With You carrying 54.5kg at $7.40. When resuming last campaign third in a small field at this track May 29 2023 over 1207m, 3 len behind Anything Pazible carrying 55.5kg at $2.35. Likely to run well.
