COURTHOUSE COVE (2) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 5½f at this track (Dirt) a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. WOODY'S CHOICE (11) proved too strong two runs ago at Belterra Park. Not as effective last time out when third over 5½f at Mahoning Valley, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to return to winning form. CITADINO (6) gave a great sight last time over 5½f at this track when he raced up on the pace and fought on gamely only to be narrowly beaten. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on six occasions from 10 starts. Capable of going well. DISCRETIONARY DAY (7) registered a strong win two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when second over 5½f at this track, beaten a nose. One of the main hopes.
