ROCK THE RED (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 4 lengths on his rivals. Has a formidable combination with Victor R Fernandez who has been aboard for his last three wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. BLISTERING (5) finished sixth when resuming last start, beaten 8 lengths, over 1006m at Mountaineer Park Turf. Form over this journey is strong, boasting three wins from four starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. SIMPLY VALID (9) was in commission last time out and finished 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will be in this for a long way. METAPHOR (3) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time out. R Feliciano stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. One of the better hopes.
