Parx Racing Race 8

1M 1 1/2F Stakes

Prize Money: $39,106

GAMETIME GLADIATOR (3) was never in contention when 18 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. BOB JOHN RAY (5) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 10 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1609m at this track a week ago. Steps up in journey today. Solid top-three chance. DEVIL'S CAY (4) showed good early dash before weakening to be beaten 9 lengths into fourth over 1609m at Penn National (Dirt) last time out. One of the main contenders. PREACH IT WARRIOR (1) improved sharply last time out to score by 5.5 lengths over 1673m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect another big run.

At the latest run eased back early on 5th of 8 at this track on April 27 over 1609m, 10 len behind Lucky Dude with 55.5kg at $14.40. Before that second last of 9 at Aqueduct on March 28 over 2213m, 23 len behind Power Seeker with 56kg at $3.17. Should be right in the finish.
