DADIO (1) finished runner-up on dirt over 4½f at this track in a then filled another minor placing last start on turf over 5½f at Colonial Downs. Overdue for a win and looks tough to beat back on the dirt. JUBA'S TAJ (4) raced below his best last time when eighth over 6½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 16 lengths. Has the class to return to form. MISTER GRINCH (2) finished second over 4½f at this track in a then missed the frame last time out over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Should be camped just off the leaders. Solid top-three chance. DONTCROSSTHELINE (5) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when he was beaten 13 lengths into tenth over 4½f at this track. Fitter so can feature in the finish.
