OVID (1) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) five-and-a-half months ago and has not been produced since. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. SOULLESS (8) turned in a nice run when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Mahoning Valley then missed the placings last time when 17 lengths from the winner in sixth over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). One of the chances based on his best recent efforts. SMOKIN JOE (7) was well fancied when resuming last start over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 11 lengths. Deserves another chance. STRIKE PLATE (4) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second over 6f at Mahoning Valley. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
