CLAW (6) was well in commission last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 2 lengths. Strong winning chance. LINE ASTRAY (7) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 12 lengths when seventh over 7f at this track three weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HOPPING HENRY (10) strode forward early last start from his wide draw and was never headed, scoring by half a length at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) over 5½f. Distance specialist with eight wins and 19 minor placings from 40 runs and should be involved in the finish. CAJUN JOE (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Capable of featuring prominently.
