SHKHARA FIRE (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 5. 5 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt) after she got a long way back. Cherry-ripe now and can find winning form this time. SPENCERIAN (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5. 5 lengths when fourth over 6f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Has the class to produce a better result. TUNED TO THE MOON (2) showed good speed over 6½f at Charles Town (Dirt) and led throughout to score. Same winning combination here and is sure to be competitive. GLOWS IN THE DARK (6) disappointed at her last run four-and-a-half months ago when fifth at Parx (Dirt), that effort following back-to-back wins. Good effort at the start of last prep to score over 6f at Penn National. One of the main contenders.
