DOS AMORES (1) built on a nice third two starts back at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) with a win over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 8 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is right in contention. KHALI J (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at Mahoning Valley, beaten 9 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Erik Barbaran gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. NEBLINA (6) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 13 lengths back in fifth over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Well placed and expected to feature. JOROPO (2) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 36 lengths, after a win at Mahoning Valley at the previous outing. In the mix.
