SIMPLY VALID (1) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Generally runs well third up from a spell so he looks very hard to beat. CHARLESTON (7) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten one length after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. ALL JOKES ASIDE (2) did little and finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1006m at Mountaineer Park Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ROUNDBALL ROCK (4) did a great job to score by 1.3 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention.
