CHAMPAGNE MIKE (6) proved too strong two runs ago at Hawthorne. Not as effective last time out when tenth over 6f at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Has the ability to find the winners' list. CAPTURE MI (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. THE EQUINEST (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when seventh, beaten 20 lengths, over 1m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. DESTINO (5) finished third last time over 6f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
