SUMMONING DENIS (7) is close to a win after a sequence of strong results, the latest when third over 7f at this track (Dirt). Great chance to take this out. VALHALLA'S PALACE (5) ran a strong third over 6½f at this track (Dirt) two runs back then was below his best last time over 1m1/2f when fifth, beaten 4 lengths. Looks better placed over this shorter trip so rates among the leading chances. REVEREND JACK (9) finished 6 lengths behind the winner in third over 1m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Winning rider B Whitacre stays aboard. Has claims on his best figures. ALLIED ATTACK (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 5½f at Finger Lakes, beaten 10 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
