ROSE'S PEPINO (1) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) to make it two in succession. Record here is impressive with three wins from seven starts. Among the leading chances. EXALTED JOY (7) missed the frame last time when fourth at Mountaineer Park. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Becerra Fernando Salazar who has two wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. PEPPER PIKE (2) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when second over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. REINVEST (4) was beaten 12 lengths into fourth over 1m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
