MONEY ROOM (6) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. WASHINGTON'S UNION (5) is in top form, most recently recording a win by one length over 7f at Charles Town (Dirt) to make it two in a row. Sure to measure up again. CORONA GRANDE (1) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after being in contention on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. SOUTH STREET (9) built on a nice second when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) with success as favourite over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
