Penn National Race 5

Starter Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $30,581

METALHEAD (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1308m at Churchill Downs, beaten 9 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can find the winner's circle. ONE LAST KISS (4) was in the firing line on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at Parx after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. TROPANDHAGEN (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1006m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. AU SOME WARRIOR (6) had been racing well with four consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1207m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. In the mix.
