Penn National Race 4

Prize Money: $60,938

BALLAD OF WARRIOR (6) Big effort to finish 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last run here but back in trip. Angel R Rodriguez and Brandon L Kulp are a strong duo. Has to be strongly considered. COME PRIMA (1) Ran home strongly to win last run here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has not missed the money this preparation in 3 attempts. Looks promising in this race. BRONX BOYS (2) Ran on strongly to win last time around here and has a positive stall. Jockey Tyler Conner and trainer Brandon L Kulp have a high strike rate together. Winnable race. TACTICAL HUMOR (4) Set a strong tempo before weakening to place 3rd beaten by over 7L last start at this track. Has shown early pace in races to date. Solid place bet prospects.
