WASHINGTON'S UNION (2) was a gutsy winner last time over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt), scoring by half a length to make it two wins in succession. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. STOMPING MOON (4) in strong form with three wins from eight attempts this campaign. Won two starts back at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) and went close again last time out. Erik Barbaran sticks. Should be in the finish. THE DOORMAN (5) is racing okay without winning including a last start third over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Expected to be in the finish. GOLDEN CANDY (7) is resuming from a spell of three-and-a-half months and having his first run for the Wajdi Bouali yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Parx (Dirt) over 1308m.
