Mountaineer Park Race 7

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $29,052

DEMBE ZUMA (7) was an emphatic winner last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt) with today's rider J Stokes engaged. Stick with him. RIVER WARRIOR RVF (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when fourth in a 1207m contest at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CONNECT THE DOTS (6) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins from six outings. Expect a bold showing. GIACOMO CASANOVA (4) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1609m at this track (Turf), finishing 11 lengths back in tenth. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
