Race 1: 01:15 +1d Mountaineer Race 4 - Claiming
(4)  Abigail G | | | | | 6 | Kevin Gonzalez | Geraldine Rodak | A winner at 1m, but that win was over three years ago. Beaten behind Sonho De Verao at 60-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Belterra Park over 1m last month. Needs to find more. |

Beaten 16l behind B Flat Out at 55-1 when eighth of 9 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Tracey Wisner. The percentage call is to look elsewhere for win purposes. |
4th (2)  Knobiesmagicsonde | | | | | 6 | Jairo Hernandez | Melinda Sanders | She has won three times at 4f. Beaten 14l behind O K Smarty Pants at 40-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month but she can bounce back here. |
(5)  Black Bullet | | | | | 3 | Luis Negron | Wilfrido Montano | A winner at 5f. Well beaten at 35-1 behind Xhilaratingpurpose when last of 6 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. One of the more likely winners on paper. |

Beaten 20l behind New Age Bad Girl at 11-1 when last of 8 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 7f (good) last month.

Race 2: 01:40 +1d Mountaineer Race 5 - Claiming
(6)  Chaokoon | | | | | 4 | Jose Leon | Ramsel Carrillo | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Finished 6l behind Loco when fifth of 6 at 15-2 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f in June. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Juan Silva in Chile. The percentage call is to look elsewhere for win purposes. |
2nd (2)  Red Gun | | | | | 4 | Bailey Weatherly | Donald Blankenship | He has won three times at 5f. Finished 4l behind Timberry Tiddler when fifth of 8 at 17-10fav on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f last month but he is the type to bounce back and can go well here. |

RATE CONFIRMATION (second) got the better of Kingdom Force (third) when the pair met over C&D last month and the former can confirm his superiority over that rival en route to victory this time around. Touchdown Montage can also go well.
Race 3: 02:05 +1d Mountaineer Race 6 - Claiming
4th (3)  Don H | | | | | 7 | Erik Barbaran | Horacio Barbaran | Successful at 6f and 1m, but last win was over four years ago. Well beaten at 45-1 behind Vortex when last of 9 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Opposable. |
(5)  Stunning Hero | | | | | 6 | Jose Davila | Sara Stanoszek | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 11l behind Vortex when sixth of 9 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Others hold more compelling claims for the gold medal. |
(7)  Old Forty Five | | | | | 5 | Bailey Weatherly | Jami Poole | A winner at 6f, but that win was over two years ago. Beaten 6l by Roll Me Over when second of 6 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Solid claims of at least hitting the frame. |

3rd (6)  Etretat | | | | | 4 | Yan Aviles | Elliot Sullivan | Successful at 5f and 6f. Beaten behind Lost Weekend at 15-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Timonium over 6f earlier this month but he is the type to bounce back and cannot be overlooked lightly. |
(4)  Immoral | | | | | 5 | Jose Vega | Kenny Jansen | Successful at 5f and 7f. A winner at 13-5 at Mountaineer Park over 5f on his latest outing last month, beating Happy Tails To You by 1 1/4l. Must be of interest bidding to follow up. |

SCRATCHOFF has been knocking on the door on his last couple of starts and, with his sights lowered, he edges preference in what looks a trappy affair. Immoral and Bali's Shade are also key players.
Race 4: 02:30 +1d Mountaineer Race 7 - Claiming
4th (2)  Nogratz | | | | | 5 | Luis Tapara | Robert Fiesman | A winner at 1m. Well beaten at 100-1 behind In To The Night when last of 9 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m last month. Others appeal more. |

This is a significant ease in class for LADY ITCH and she looks the one to side with, especially with the stable going well at present. Dixie Rag and Queen Aiko complete the shortlist.
Race 5: 02:55 +1d Mountaineer Race 8 - Claiming
(2)  M J Gold | | | | | 10 | Ricardo Barrios | Barbara Sauer | She has won four times from 5f to 7f, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 5l behind Wedontbelieveher when fifth of 8 at 33-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. The percentage call is to look elsewhere for win purposes. |
2nd (4)  Coco Machen | | | | | 9 | Bailey Weatherly | J Baird | Has won nine races from 4f to 6f. Beaten 8l behind Wedontbelieveher at 13-5 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Hard to fancy strongly for win purposes on the back of that display. |
(8)  Devilish Magic | | | | | 8 | Jairo Hernandez | Jason Uelmen | Winner of seven races from 5f to 7f, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten a neck by Orbaline when second of 7 at 33-10 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f in November last year and she may prove a dark horse in this lineup. |
(7)  Act Like A Lady | | | | | 7 | Rocco Bowen | Chad Skelton | Winner of seven races from 6f to 1m. Beaten 1 1/2l by Wedontbelieveher when second of 8 at 18-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Looks to hold more of a place chance than a winning one. |
(3)  Del Mar Flash | | | | | 6 | Agustin Bracho | Jami Poole | Winner of five races from 4f to 1m. Third of 8 behind Wedontbelieveher beaten 3l at 5-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Big each-way contender once more. |

Third of 7 behind Nighttime Justice beaten 5l at 11-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Jami Poole. One of the more likely winners on paper. |

MYRRH found only one rival too good over this track and trip when last seen and, on the back of a prolonged absence for her in-form stable, she looks the one to beat. Claire's Darling and Vintage Sparkle appeal most of the remainder.

(7)  Tate | | | | | 6 | Jose Leon | Melinda Sanders | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 7 behind Zero Gravity beaten 2 1/4l at 5-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. Could land a blow. |
(8)  Thru The Vine | | | | | 6 | Brandon Tapara | Gary Johnson | Has won eight races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 6 behind Indian Empire beaten 4 1/2l at 14-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. Minor honours might be his best hope. |
(9)  Ajourneytofreedom | | | | | 7 | Luis Negron | Liam Bourke | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 4f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 7l behind Small Field when sixth of 7 at 14-1 on his latest outing at Colonial Downs over 1m 1f (good) last month. He needs to better recent performances. |
(10)  Hard Love | | | | | 6 | Brandon Whitacre | Terry Crago | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 10 behind City Plan beaten 4 1/2l at 18-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 7f (good) last month. Others make greater appeal. |

OPRY was holding his own at Graded level when last seen in June of last year, and he'll be tough to beat if returning in a similar vein of form. Misterchilliwilli and Candy Tycoon head the list of dangers.

(1)  Kaztharos | | | | | 5 | Jairo Hernandez | Marco Ccamaque | He has won three times from 5f to 6f on the all-weather.

Race 8: 00:50 +1d Mountaineer Race 3 - Allowance
(1)  Hashtag No Wonder | | | | | 5 | Luis Negron | Neil Morris | He has won three times at 1m on good ground. Well beaten at 18-1 behind Ready For The Lady when 10th of 12 on his latest outing at Colonial Downs over 2m (good) earlier this month. He's struggled in recent starts, but the drop in trip is a positive. |
(2)  Undertow | | | | | 4 | Jose Vega | Gregory Viands | Successful at 7f and 1m on good ground. Won on his latest outing when 1-2fav at Mountaineer Park over 7f (good) last month, beating Tapintoyourbeer by 3 1/2l. Merits consideration. |
(3)  Crowned Jewel | | | | | 3 | Ricardo Barrios | Denis Cluley | He has won three times from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 11-2 at Mountaineer Park over 7f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Hari by 6l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Teresa Connelly.

A winner at 14-1 at Mountaineer Park over 5f (good) on his racecourse debut last month, beating Ballot Box by 1/2l. Open to any amount of improvement, but he will need it at this higher level. |
CROWNED JEWEL bolted up over this C&D last time out, and a similar display can see him repeat the feat. Tap Em and Undertow are unlikely to be far away.
