CHEROKEE CASTLE (3) finished 4.5 lengths behind the winner in third over 4½f at this track (Dirt) last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Reunites with Wesley Ho which is a proven winning combination. Well placed and should be in the finish. CASTLE TOY (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Strips fitter and can figure prominently. BEST VIRGINIA (1) finished second over 6½f at this track (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on May 9. Definite top-three chance. THE MONEY MACHINE (4) returns after a lay-off of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 5½f at Gulfstream Park. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
