DE'S CASTLE (9) turned in a sound effort last time when second over 6f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Back in trip this time. Good effort last start and should prove tough to beat. TIMMY (5) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at Mountaineer Park. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. DIRECT THE SHOW (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 0.8 lengths away in second over 4½f at this track (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. REMYS GUNSMOKE (10) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 4½f at this track, finishing 8 lengths from the winner. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins from 22 starts. Sure to measure up.
