COVERT KAT (2) travelled in a rearwards position and failed to live up to expectations over 1m at Colonial Downs (Turf) last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run prior. Has the class to take this out. ISLAND D'LITE (5) hit the frame two starts ago at Colonial Downs but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths over 5½f at Colonial Downs (Turf). The engagement of Andres Chavez is a positive move. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to be prominent. MONCRIEF (4) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track (Turf) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when he was prominent throughout over 5f at Penn National (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. ONE WHIRLWIND RIDE (1) is on a quick back-up after finishing sixth in better company nine days ago over 5½f at Colonial Downs (Turf). Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
