CALLISTO'S BRIGADE (5) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 7f at this track (Dirt). Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and five minor placings from nine runs. Expected to go very well. MY BUDDY DUANE (3) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth, beaten 10 lengths, over 7f at Mountaineer Park (Turf). Has the class to put the recent poor run behind him. STRIVE FOR STRIDE (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 7f after being prominent from the outset. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. RIDE THE BRAND (8) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest fifth at this track (Dirt) over 6½f. Top-three prospects.
