Parx Racing Race 8

1M Stakes

Prize Money: $81,250

WAR MASTER (2) proved too strong two runs ago at Laurel. Less impressive last time out when fourth over 1207m at Laurel, beaten 10 lengths. Is yet to be beaten in two starts here. Mychel J Sanchez gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Finds the right race this time and can rediscover winning form. BIG BOYS ANSWER (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. SMOOTH FLYIN MIKE (4) bounced back last start and scored by 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner as favourite over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. JUST STEP ON IT (1) finished 15 lengths back in seventh in stakes company last time over 1609m in Listed grade at Aqueduct (Dirt). Did win when fresh from a spell two runs back by half a length at this track (Dirt). Can feature on his best form.
