HALF BIRTHDAY (6) met with solid support last start over 6f at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) when sixth, beaten 4 lengths. Distance specialist with four wins and 11 minor placings from 22 runs and is among the leading chances. WICCA WISDOM (3) turned in a modest performance when fifth last start over 1m at Mountaineer Park, beaten 20 lengths. That followed a good when resuming win at Mountaineer Park. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. Set Weights EET BELEN (5) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 2.25 lengths away in second over 6f at this track (Dirt). One of the main contenders. BIG JAVA (1) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
