ERNIE'S MARTINI (8) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 4 lengths away in third over 1m at this track (Dirt). Tackling a more suitable race so he is perfectly placed to score. SMART COVERAGE (1) made progress last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 5½f at Woodbine after being in contention on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can find winning form. SCRATCHOFF (4) is back from a lay-off of 12 weeks. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 6f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. FIELDSTONE (5) has registered seven minor placings from 11 runs this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1m at Penn National (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
