LUCAGO (8) started at 7/4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 17 lengths at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) over 6f after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. JIMMY THE KID (5) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just four wins from 57 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 4½f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. KARMA BUS (7) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Should be winding up late again. KING OF LUCK (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into eighth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
