She has won four times from 1m to 1m 3f on good ground. Beaten 10l behind Yankee Rose at 19-10fav when eighth of 9 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 7f (good) in September last year. Never won over a trip this sharp, but respected all the same.

A winner at 1m on the all-weather, but that win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 100-1 behind Cambeliza when last of 10 on her latest outing at Kentucky Downs over 1m 2f (good) in September last year. Hard to get excited about.

A winner at 7f on firm ground. Beaten 7l by Bareback Fun when second of 9 at 9-10jt-fav on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in March. Just found one too good last time, but generally running well and has a big opportunity with yard in such red-hot form.

She has won three times from 6f to 1m on the all-weather. A winner at 13-2 at Mahoning Valley over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Precious Arch by 1/2l. Got the job done in a weaker race last time and should remain competitive.

A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 11l behind Gandhi's Castle when sixth of 8 at 35-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Not quite done enough of late to suggest a win is likely.

A winner at 5f on the all-weather. Beaten 3 1/2l by Las Ramblas when second of 9 at 45-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in February. Good effort in defeat last time and looks worth a tilt over this longer trip. Yard is in superb form.

She has won four times from 5f to 7f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 20l behind Loran Holiday when last of 5 at 6-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m last month and just seems to have gone off the boil. Revival needed.

Trainer Eric Reed - currently in sensational form - appears to hold a strong hand here, saddling both LADY LAURA and Letsgoandgetthedo. A case could be made out for either but it's the former who holds most appeal on the back of a string of placed efforts. Quiet Dawn also merits respect.
Unplaced in all four starts. Third of 6 behind Handsome Devil beaten 8l at 8-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Modest so far, hopes pinned on a switch to turf improving him.

Placed in three of 14 starts. Beaten 3/4l by Surmont when second of 7 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Indiana Grand Race Course over 5f last month. In decent heart on dirt right now, but not looked too happy on turf in the past.

Beaten 8l behind Waltzing Champ at 19-10fav when eighth of 11 on his racecourse debut at Woodbine over 7f (good) in October last year. Revealed clear signs of ability that day and has to be of interest for a new yard dropping back in trip.

Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 5l behind Mr. Nobody when sixth of 7 at 28-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f (good) in August last year. Looked very limited last year, readily passed over on his return.

Placed in five of 20 starts. Beaten 16l behind Lyrical Poet at 40-1 when last of 10 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in March. Has had too many chances to appeal, though he's only had one previous spin on turf.

Placed in three of eight starts. Beaten 14l behind Unimaginable U at 9-2 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f in March. Has gone close on occasions, so dangerous to dismiss as he switches to turf.

Well beaten at 55-1 behind Like A Saltshaker when last of 10 on his racecourse debut at Presque Isle Downs over 6f in September last year. Gelded since that run and Lasix now introduced, so chance of improvement for a new yard.

Yet to place in nine starts. Beaten 19l behind Pinky's Point at 33-1 when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f last month. Has lost his way badly of late, hard to fancy.

Placed once in four starts. Finished 8l behind I Prowl Alone when sixth of 10 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Presque Isle Downs over 6f in September last year. Flashes of promise last year, not ruled out on his return.

None of these are overly-convincing, but it's not hard to envisage the returning SMART RIDE being better than this level after running well for a long way over a longer trip on his only start last year. U S S Costly and Golden Oak could be the pick of the opposition.
Successful at 3f and 5f on the all-weather. A winner at 13-10 at Turf Paradise over 5f on her latest outing last month, beating She's Smart Enough by 4l. Clearly on the upgrade, will be hard to stop if taking to the turf.

Successful at 4f and 5f on the all-weather. A winner at 14-1 at Mountaineer Park over 5f on her latest outing in December last year, beating Khozana by 1l. Got the job done on dirt here last time, but less impressive in two previous turf starts.

Successful at 5f and 1m on the all-weather. Well beaten at 15-2 behind Valley Of Mo'ara when last of 7 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 5f in January. Latest run seemed too bad to be true but earlier form holds up well enough (including on turf).

Successful twice at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 8l behind Eowyn when fifth of 6 at 2-1jt-fav on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Has just taken a few backward steps recently, questions to answer on turf bow.

Successful twice at 4f on the all-weather. Finished 2 3/4l behind Raelyn's Star when fourth of 7 at 17-5 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f earlier this month. Clearly in good nick, and went well on only previous turf start. Major player.

Successful at 5f and 7f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 12l behind Merengue at 30-1 when eighth of 9 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f in October last year. Just 2 wins from 41 attempts and looked out of sorts when last seen.

Successful twice at 5f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 7l behind P J's Ego when fourth of 6 at 25-1 on her seasonal return at Charles Town over 4f in February. Should come on for that run and, considering she won her only previous turf start, she has to be of interest.

Honourable Lily and Allaboutaprincess have both shown up well on turf previously and are running well enough to go on any short-list. But the improving SHARP MOVE scored in such convincing fashion on dirt last time that she is worth chancing on her turf bow.
Successful at 5f and 7f, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 2 1/4l behind Offlee Cloudy when fourth of 6 at 12-5 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Regularly placed, but record of just 2 wins from 50 starts tempers enthusiasm.

A winner at 1m. Finished 6l behind Ziggy Barcelona when fourth of 7 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f last month. Just one win from 25 attempts and not done much lately to suggest he'll be adding to that tally.

A winner at 5-2 at Turf Paradise over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Atta Boy Billy by a neck - his first win from nine attempts. Seems to have improved for a recent yard switch so follow-up possibly not beyond him.

Several 'hard to win with' types line-up here which presents an opportunity for YEUDIEL who showed up well on his only previous attempt over this sort of trip. Paisano has clearly improved for a yard switch on the evidence of his recent win and should also go well along with regular bridesmaid Redmark.
Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 5l behind Deltary when fourth of 9 at 17-4 on her latest outing at Turf Paradise over 7f (good) in March. Not far off at a higher level this year, having won twice here last back-end. Player.

Successful twice at 5f. A winner at 2-1 at Mountaineer Park over 5f on her latest outing last month, beating Khozana by 1l. Took full advantage of a marked drop in grade last time but bigger questions asked now.

Successful twice at 5f. Beaten 1/2l by Quiet Dawn when second of 8 at 15-1 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f last month. Seldom far away at this sort of level and couldn't be ruled out if really in the mood.

Successful twice at 5f. Finished 7l behind Wild Looker when fifth of 10 at 19-2 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f (good) in November last year. Both wins last year came over slightly shorter but remains low mileage and open to improvement.

Successful at 5f and 6f. A winner at 9-1 at Mountaineer Park over 5f on her latest outing last month, beating Adulting by 1/2l. Better than ever last time, though it was a weaker race. Needs to pull out a bit more from somewhere.

Successful twice at 5f, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 11l behind Giro Kate when sixth of 7 at 35-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Regressed markedly last year and none too convincing on her return.

Some sort of case could be made out for most of these on various form but MY CLAW won on her last two visits here and has shown enough recently at a higher level to warrant support. Precious Arch and the lightly-raced Doubt also catch the eye.
He has won three times at 6f. Finished 11l behind Grecian Prince when fourth of 7 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in March. Not running well but not beyond the realms that a recent yard switch could galvanise him.

Winner of five races from 5f to 1m. Well beaten at 80-1 behind Flash Attack when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f in January. Chance at best, but last few runs have been worryingly poor.

Has won 11 races from 5f to 6f. Beaten 3 1/2l by Qualifly when second of 8 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Clearly still a force at this level despite his advancing years, dangerous to dismiss.

He has won four times from 5f to 6f. Beaten 16l behind Qualifly at 18-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. A bit short of pace the last two starts and generally unpersuasive.

Winner of seven races from 5f to 6f, but last win was over three years ago. Beaten 20l behind Qualifly at 40-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Nothing like the force he was, hard to fancy.

A weak contest and a real chance for the veteran Balotelli to gain a first win since 2019 on the evidence of a fine second-place effort here last time out. Nicamore is an obvious danger but Empiremeister could potentially throw up some value for a new yard.
Winner of five races from 5f to 1m. Finished 4l behind Cleanup Hitter when fourth of 7 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m last month. Not won for a while and needs to step things up here.

Has won eight races from 6f to 1m. Third of 7 behind Tizezzy beaten 2 1/4l at 11-2 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 7f last month. Good strike-rate and running well enough over shorter to consider back over 1m.

He has won four times at 1m, but last win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 50-1 behind War At Sunrise when sixth of 7 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 2m (good) in December last year. Started to show his age last year and makes no real appeal on his return.

Winner of five races from 6f to 1m. Finished 12l behind French Accent when sixth of 7 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f last month. Probably better over this longer trip but not quite firing on all cylinders.

Successful at 7f and 1m, but last win was over two years ago. Third of 7 behind Cleanup Hitter beaten 3 1/2l at 18-5 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m last month. Win ratio isn't great (2 wins from 41) but not far off of late. Should be competitive.

Winner of seven races from 5f to 1m. Third of 8 behind Qualifly beaten 9l at 9-2 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Trip too sharp last time but much more going for him over a longer trip now. Respected.

CAVALOTTO hasn't been too far off over shorter this year and, assuming he appreciates this return to 1m, this race looks his for the taking. Custom Infinity and Pirate's Treasure look the most interesting of the remainder.
Successful twice at 6f. Well beaten at 5-1 behind Kitten's Man when last of 5 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 7f (firm) earlier this month. Yet to really sparkle this year and winless from nine previous attempts over this trip.

Successful at 5f and 7f. Finished 12l behind Eight Ain't Enough when fifth of 10 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in March. This trip possibly too sharp on first start for a new yard, though eased in grade.

Successful at 5f and 6f. A winner at 7-1 at Thistledown over 5f on his latest outing last month, beating Las Ana by 1 1/2l. Deserved his latest win but wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up.

Successful twice at 6f. Third of 8 behind Off The Mark beaten 6l at 5-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f in November last year. Looked good on occasions last year and dangerous to dismiss in this company on his return.

Successful at 5f and 6f. Beaten 12l behind Road Game at 4-1 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f in December last year. Remains low mileage and full of potential for a new yard. Of interest.

Successful at 5f and 6f. Well beaten at 12-5 behind Windsors For It when last of 6 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Just found wanting over sharper trips of late, but may do better back over slightly further now.

Successful at 5f and 7f. Finished 10l behind Lucky Junior when fifth of 6 at 45-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f in December last year. Been mixing mainly in better company since latest win, worth a second look.

Successful twice at 6f. Finished 17l behind Viper when sixth of 8 at 2-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Won well over 6f here in March but latest flop reinforced his 'hit or miss' profile.

An open-looking race in which Siete Leguas and Top Hat Titan would prove dangerous if bringing their A-games. But the answer may lie with the lightly-raced FOLDS OF HONOR who dug in to win twice over this sort of trip last year and looks a sort who could kick on to better things.
Winner of seven races from 5f to 7f. Beaten 15l behind Liberty Fire at 6-1 when last of 9 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f in October last year. No margin for error as she returns for a new yard.

Winner of six races from 4f to 6f. A winner at 17-5 at Mountaineer Park over 5f on her latest outing in December last year, beating Coronela by 1 1/2l. Decent effort when last seen but not guaranteed to be in the same mood after a break.

Winner of seven races at 5f. Beaten 8l behind Grace Appeal at 99-1 when seventh of 9 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f (good) in November last year. Ended last year out of sorts, hard to know she she'll serve up here.

She has won four times from 5f to 6f. Beaten 12l behind Reiltin Oir at 19-5 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f in March. Better than recent form suggests and this trip is ideal. Could offer some value.

In a finale in which none are overly-persuasive, it could pay to take a chance on NANCYSAIDSO back over her optimum trip (2 from 2) considering she had run well prior to being checked last time.Recent course winner Giro Kate and Tiz Red Wine are others who make a level of appeal.
