J J VALENTIN (5) finds it hard to win with just one success from 21 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 5½f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. QUARANTINO (7) has been about the mark of late including last start when second over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Well placed to make a big impression. FRAME UP (3) proved too strong two runs ago at Mountaineer Park. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 5½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EASTERN EXTENSION (2) is a consistent performer with seven minor placings from 12 starts this time in work. Finished 10 lengths from the winner in third at the latest outing over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
