REAL TALENTED (4) was a strong winner last time over 1m at Laurel (Dirt), scoring by 0. 3 lengths and in line for a hat-trick here. Expected to go close again. CHARLIE'S EXPRESS (3) met with solid support last start over 6f at Penn National (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 6 lengths. Great chance to atone. SIR MENDEL (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Should be peaking now and shapes as a leading player. HEY BUDDY (1) was beaten 45 lengths into seventh over 6½f at this track last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
