HEY CUE (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at Mountaineer Park, beaten 10 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TIME THE AVENGER (6) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 6f at this track (Dirt) a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by one length. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ERNIE'S MARTINI (3) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten only 1. 75 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. STOMPING MOON (8) couldn't have been more impressive when resuming last start when he scored by 4. 5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and is among the better chances.
