BIG ROWDY DAN (4) showed good pace over 7f at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to score by 6 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GROUP EIGHTEEN (9) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1m at Mountaineer Park (Turf) when beaten 4 lengths. Has the right credentials. IKIGAI (6) last appeared three weeks ago over 4½f at this track when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Stephen Murdock stable. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. CHOCOLATE SHAKE (3) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 4 lengths back in third over 1m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role.
