NO MORE TALK (7) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths away in second over 1m1/2f at Penn National (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. MY TWO AUNT JOANS (3) finished 7 lengths away in seventh last time out over 6f at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. BEYOND MY DREAMS (2) was in contention on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1m at Mountaineer Park after missing the placings at the previous appearance. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. PEACE OF EKATI (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Well placed to figure prominently again.
