NO LOVE FOR JUBA (1) finished 9 lengths away in fourth last time out over 7f at Charles Town three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. ROYAL PAIN (4) got well back over 7f in Listed grade at Charles Town (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 9 lengths away in seventh. Has the class to take this out. PLAY CHICKEN (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 23 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. RED FLAG ALERT (6) has not appeared since he finished third over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) on February 28. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Has switched to the Gregory Viands yard. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
