JUST FOR THE MONEY (7) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 6½f at Charles Town (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MR BOGAN (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Penn National, beaten 26 lengths into sixth. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FOURDATESFORHOCO (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1. 5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five runs. Solid top-three chance. COOL COUPLE (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 19 lengths away in eighth over 1m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
