BUCKEYE TAKEOVER (2) started at 7/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 6f. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. R CHELLO (4) is yet to break through in 11 runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 4½f at this track (Dirt) on February 27 after he gave away a big start. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. SEARCH FOR HOPE (5) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when seventh, beaten 21 lengths, over 6f at Penn National (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. DAVE DID IT (3) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 18 lengths away in sixth over 6f at Penn National. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
