HOT WINGS (1) was well fancied when resuming last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 5 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. RAR (5) is yet to break through after eight starts but not far off a win. Placed in a then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 5½f at Penn National (Dirt). Great chance to break through. MY LUCKY ACE (7) could only manage second as favourite last start over 7f at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the corner, making it four minor placings from four starts this campaign. Capable of taking this out. APOLAUSTIC (6) ran a better race last start, finishing 4. 5 lengths away in fourth over 7f at this track. No surprise to see him in the mix.
