LOCO (5) met with solid support last start over 6f at Penn National (Dirt) when third, beaten 7 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. MSHINDI (10) is struggling to find the winners' circle but has been around the mark, last start finishing second over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Genuine performer so another big run is likely. STANDINGINTHEFIRE (1) scored an overdue maiden win last time out, getting home by 2.5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Shaping up nicely and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. NATURE OFTHE BEAST (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1m at this track. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
