DARK LUTE (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1m1/2f at Pimlico (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he can go on with it. BIGTONTEN (5) settled well back then made some inroads and finished 11 lengths away in fourth last time out over 7f at Charles Town six weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. LET'S HAVE A PARTY (9) won at this track and distance at his last outing nine weeks ago. Can make his presence felt. MR MENDELSLEW (6) finished in the placings when a 3.5 lengths third on dirt at this track in a but then disappointed on turf last time at this track over 1m when eighth, finishing 11 lengths from the winner. Well worth including back to dirt here.
