LORD DONEGAL (4) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten half a length, over 1m1f at Colonial Downs. Will prove tough to stop. RAMSEY (11) has been in good form, scoring three back at Charles Town (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when he was prominent throughout over 7f at Charles Town (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. BIG ELM (5) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1m at this track (Turf), beaten 0.8 lengths when fresh from a lay-off as favourite. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. TOO FRACING LUCKY (9) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by 0.8 lengths at this track and trip when when resuming from a lay-off last start. No reason he cannot salute again.
