EL MUCHACHO ALEGRE (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish one length away in second over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. CHARLESTON (4) returns after a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6f at Mahoning Valley. Has switched to the Mike L Rone stable. Comes here with definite claims. TRICKY TIGER (6) was far from disgraced when fourth last start over 6f at Mahoning Valley, beaten 1. 75 lengths after he worked home in good style. That followed a win at Mahoning Valley the start prior. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. REINVEST (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in third over 6f at Mahoning Valley. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
