Comment: Scored impressively (sloppy track) 15 days ago in a claimer; bidding for a hat-trick; the stable is going well; a leading contender as despite being up in class he appears to be in good form and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

6/5

Comment: Failed to live up to market expectations when fifth two months ago (Charles Town) in a stakes; a winner of a stakes in October; big run on the cards in this lower-class event and she didn't get much luck in running last time.

Comment: Has won three of her six career runs and bagged a hat-trick last time; landed Mountaineer Park allowance optional claimer in good style beating three of these rivals 21 days ago; could be in the mix.
