ED'S REWARD (4) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 0. 3 lengths over 1m at Thistledown (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins from six starts. Big chance once again. STRATEGIST (6) ran below expectations last time at Charles Town (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at 4/1. Has the class to take care of this field. PATRIARCHAL (1) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m at Mountaineer Park, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. LAW OF THE JUNGLE (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
