FAIR TRADE (9) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished second at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 4 lengths last time out over 1106m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. KANAZAWA (1) finished 7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1006m at Turfway Park after being in contention on the turn six-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Among the chances. MELANCIA (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when sixth in a 1710m contest at Charles Town two-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. REALLY THIRSTY (4) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when fourth over 905m at Charles Town, beaten 2.75 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
