Stake: -

LIGHT FURY (4) Didn't threaten when 4th last time at Mountaineer Park. Should improve here and goes down in grade. Has early speed and positions nicely. Jockey Alexander Chavez rates highly. Must respect in this event. VIA DELLA SPIGA (7) Tailed off to finish 8th last run at this track. Can show a better performance this time but competing at a higher grade. Strong chance. DRIFTWOOD (1) Controlled the speed to win by 1/2L last start around here and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Has plenty of early speed. Going well this preparation. Right in this. DRUNKLE (6) Came in 4th last run at the track. Should improve from the last run but competing at a higher level of competition. Looks to have a good chance of placing.

Started at $4.33 and lost ground in the run home when 4th last time at Mountaineer Park. Should improve here and up against weaker rivals. Displays good tactical speed. Can measure up against these.

At $5.00 didn't attack the line when 8th last run at this track. Can show a better performance this time but up against a more competitive field. Has a good chance.
