RUN OF THE HOUSE (6) ran below expectations last time at Mountaineer Park (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 14 lengths starting at $3.10. Has the class to take care of this field. FLAG OFFICER (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 27 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1710m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. ANNIHILATE 'EM (7) could only manage fourth on dirt over 1609m at Delaware Park two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1609m at Penn National Turf more recently. Strong contender back on the dirt. DOC DALLAS (3) is racing well, most recently finishing third two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1308m at Timonium (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
