PLANET FROLIC (1) was well fancied when resuming last start over 6f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) when second, beaten 4 lengths. Arnaldo Bocachica is back on and has a solid record on the four-year-old, including three wins. Leading contender. COAL MINE (2) finished sixth two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by one length after being prominent at the bend over 1m at this track (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. BAD TEMPER (4) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. PATTERN BET (6) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 3 lengths over 7f at Charles Town (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can feature in the finish.
