J J VALENTIN (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only 0. 3 lengths from the winner at the end of 6f after being in contention on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. QUARANTINO (6) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 2. 75 lengths away in third at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with winning claims. GHOSTAGAIN (8) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0. 8 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is definitely worth including. CANTYOUSTOPTHEKING (7) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when sixth over 6½f at Charles Town, beaten 12 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
