Parx Racing Race 8

6f Stakes

Prize Money: $41,841

PACO THE TACO MAN (3) is in sparkling form, scoring at his last three starts, the latest win coming over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt). Mychel J Sanchez aboard again and expected to go very well. SILVER SLUGGER (1) was thereabouts last time out when second at Delaware Park (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 0.1 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Record at this journey is impressive with six wins and three placings from 12 runs and should be hard to stop. A VOTRE SANTE (9) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1308m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. FRIDAY SURPRISE (6) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when seventh over 1308m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Expect a better run this time. Something for the Multiples: BACKSIDE BUZZ (5) FIVE DREAMS (7)

On a three run winning streak. Last start won by 2.75 len at Laurel May 14 over 1207m defeating Outdoor Cat carrying 57kg at $2.60. The race before that came from midfield and won by 2 len at Laurel April 26 over 1207m defeating Creed's Vision carrying 56kg at $3.40. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Comes here off a 38-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Penn National on May 1 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Houghton Shuffle with 54.5kg at $17.40. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.1 len at Penn National April 8 over 1207m defeating Brother Rice with 56kg at $2.40. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
