SIX WHIPS (6) got home by 0.3 lengths last time out over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has three wins here. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts him right in this. DARK TIMBER (1) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the turn at Penn National (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 3.5 lengths starting at 7/2. The engagement of F Pennington is a positive move. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. THE BULLION BOMBER (5) dug deep to score two runs back then was beaten 18 lengths into ninth over 6f at Laurel (Dirt) last time a month ago. Hard to beat on his form from two starts ago. PYLON (7) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
