Parx Racing Race 7

1M 1/2F Stakes

Prize Money: $41,899

SUNDAY SPIRIT (2) scored by 1.5 lengths last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was prominent at the turn. Is yet to miss the frame from 12 starts at this distance, including six wins. Reunites with Andy Hernandez who has four wins from nine rides. Well placed and should be in the finish. GUAPONESS (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 3.5 lengths away in third over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. ELUSIVE TARGET (3) finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1408m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Has a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. Winning claims on best figures. GAMETIME GLADIATOR (4) drifted back and never threatened when sixth last start over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Likely improver with top-three prospects.

At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track on April 22 over 1673m, 1.75 len behind Sunday Spirit carrying 56.5kg at $11.30. The start before that ran last in a small field at this track on April 1 over 1673m, 9 len behind Elusive Target with 56.5kg at $7.70. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track April 22 over 1673m defeating Chachaching with 58kg at $8.50. Before that 2nd in a small field at this track on April 1 over 1673m, 2.75 len behind Elusive Target with 58kg at $5.60. Best form should see him measure right up.

At the latest run ran last of 7 at Aqueduct on May 1 over 1609m, 21 len behind Playa Del Mar with 57kg at $10.44. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Aqueduct on March 28 over 1609m, 3.5 len behind Peek carrying 56kg at $3.35. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.
