CANADIAN BEAR (2) improved sharply on her fourth two starts back at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) with a win over 1609m at Mountaineer Park Turf (Turf) two weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. CHESS NOT CHECKERS (5) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the turn at Thistledown (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at $3.90. Nicely placed to make amends. SHIELDMEWITHPRAYER (1) missed the placings when returning from a spell last time out over this distance at this track (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Has a very good record here including four wins from eight starts. Must be considered. DON'T TELL TAMMO (6) turned things around last start and got the job done by 5.5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
