Race 1: 01:15 +1d Mountaineer Race 4 - Claiming
(6)  Strike A Beat | | | | | 9 | Yuri Yaranga | Shane Spiess | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Finished 10l behind Uncle Kevin when last of 4 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 5f in April. Others preferred. |
(3)  Act Of Valor | | | | | 5 | Agustin Bracho | Stephen Murtough | He has won four times at 6f. Beaten 4 1/2l behind Genius at 10-1 when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Inconsistent, and others make greater appeal. |
(4)  Chief Howcome | | | | | 7 | Bailey Weatherly | Donald Blankenship | He has won three times at 5f. A winner at 10-1 at Mountaineer Park over 5f on his latest outing last month, beating Bali's Shade by 3 1/2l. Holds every chance. |
2nd (2)  Ginsburned | | | | | 6 | Luis Tapara | Kenny Jansen | Winner of five races from 5f to 1m. Finished 4 1/2l behind Fowl Nation when fifth of 10 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f earlier this month. He needs to better recent performances. |
(8)  Estilo Varonil | | | | | 6 | Luis Batista | Terry Boyd | Winner of seven races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 4l behind Genius at 5-1 when seventh of 10 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Will do well to win this. |
4th (7)  Offutt Cole | | | | | 5 | Jose Vega | Paul Snatchko | He has won four times from 5f to 6f. Beaten a neck by Genius when second of 10 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Key player. |
3rd (5)  Alfie Solomons | | | | | 7 | Kyle Gilbert | Crystal Richison | Winner of five races from 4f to 6f. Finished 8l behind Westward Look when fourth of 5 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f (good) last month. Not without a chance. |
1st (1)  Joshy Jak | | | | | 6 | Yan Aviles | Jami Poole | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f. Won on his latest outing when 2-1fav at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month, beating Sir Aggravator by 5l. Another bold bid looks assured. |
JOSHY JAK bolted up over C&D last month and a similar performance can see him repeat the dose. Offutt Cole and Alfie Solomons are others to consider.
Race 2: 01:40 +1d Mountaineer Race 5 - Claiming
4th (3)  Professional | | | | | 8 | Yuri Yaranga | Shane Spiess | Has won eight races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 7l behind Julie's Ferrari at 20-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Might find a couple too strong. |
3rd (2)  Cates Swoosh | | | | | 7 | Kevin Gonzalez | Crystal Richison | Has won ten races from 4f to 6f. Finished 2 1/4l behind Genius when fifth of 10 at 11-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Needs to bounce back from a couple of lacklustre efforts. |
(6)  I'm A Cool Man | | | | | 8 | Kyle Gilbert | Crystal Richison | Has won eight races from 5f to 6f. A winner at 17-4 at Mountaineer Park over 5f on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Gottagetitback by 1/2l. Holds every chance. |
(5)  Almashriq | | | | | 8 | Jairo Hernandez | Alexis Lopez | He has won four times from 7f to 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 15l behind Boldness at 40-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Daniel Pita. The drop in grade is a positive. |
2nd (1)  Quick Entry | | | | | 8 | Maikol Vilchez | Melinda Sanders | Has won 14 races from 5f to 7f. Beaten 6l behind Fowl Nation at 11-2 when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f earlier this month. Enters calculations. |
1st (4)  Uncle Earl | | | | | 7 | Luis Batista | Jay Bernardini | Winner of seven races from 5f to 6f. Finished 2 1/2l behind Julie's Ferrari when fourth of 8 at 33-10 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Could land a blow. |
This is not a strong contest in which ALMASHRIQ is taken to exploit an ease in grade. I'm A Cool Man and Uncle Earl head the remainder.
Race 3: 02:05 +1d Mountaineer Race 6 - Claiming
(5)  Tiger's Arrow | | | | | 6 | Jan Baez | Wilfrido Montano | He has won three times from 4f to 1m. Beaten 18l behind Icy Storm at 45-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. Others preferred. |
3rd (7)  Dejohn | | | | | 6 | Bailey Weatherly | Donald Blankenship | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m. Finished 14l behind Icy Storm when fifth of 8 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. Will do well to win this. |
4th (1)  Perfetto | | | | | 9 | Johariel Rodriguez | Jami Poole | Has won 20 races from 6f to 1m 3f. Finished 8l behind Icy Storm when fourth of 8 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. He needs to better recent performances. |
(8)  Cumber | | | | | 9 | Jose Bracho | Johanna Urieta | Has won 14 races from 5f to 1m. Beaten behind Sudden Shift at 11-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m earlier this month. Not ruled out. |
(3)  Just U And Me Kid | | | | | 6 | Kyle Gilbert | Crystal Richison | Winner of five races from 6f to 1m. Finished 9l behind Jamming Cameron when fourth of 8 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 7f last month. Needs more back over further. |
2nd (6)  Altmeister | | | | | 6 | Agustin Bracho | Jami Poole | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Beaten 4l by Icy Storm when second of 8 at 14-5 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. Holds every chance. |
(2)  Captain Creed | | | | | 4 | Luis Negron | Gregory Viands | He has won three times from 4f to 1m. Finished 8l behind Saline River when sixth of 9 at 33-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m (good) last month. Cold land a blow. |
1st (4)  Escape Velocity | | | | | 10 | Luis Batista | Jay Bernardini | Has won 23 races from 4f to 1m. Third of 8 behind Icy Storm beaten 4 1/2l at 13-10fav on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. Can make his presence felt. |
Altmeister merits respect having struck the woodwork last time out, but CAPTAIN CREED drops in grade and is fancied to prove too strong. Cumber might not be far away either.
Race 4: 02:30 +1d Mountaineer Race 7 - Claiming
(5)  Enjoy Baseball | | | | | 7 | Luis Negron | Richard Vickers | Has won nine races from 5f to 1m. Beaten a neck by Dyrdek when second of nine at 7-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. Expected to go well. |
4th (8)  Zero Gravity | | | | | 9 | Andrew Ramgeet | Tina Ramgeet | Has won 11 races from 1m to 1m 5f. Well beaten at 18-5 behind Group Eighteen when last of five on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. Yet to show enough to be worthy of serious consideration. |
(9)  Latin Spice | | | | | 6 | Yan Aviles | Jeffrey Poole | Winner of seven races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 11l by Group Eighteen when second of five at 28-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. He can only be watched. |
(6)  Appraisal | | | | | 6 | Jose Bracho | Dave Treharne | He has won four times at 6f. Finished 17l behind Group Eighteen when fourth of five at 4-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. Hard to fancy. |
2nd (2)  Smash | | | | | 7 | Luis Tapara | Jay Bernardini | Has won 14 races at 1m. Beaten 2 3/4l by Thirsty John when second of six at 13-2 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f last month. Has to be of some interest. |
(10)  Strike The Top | | | | | 7 | Johariel Rodriguez | Jami Poole | Has won eight races from 7f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 11-10fav at Mountaineer Park over 1m in July, beating Lautrec by 6l. Can follow up. |
1st (3)  Exalted Joy | | | | | 6 | Fernando Becerra Salazar | Caryn Vecchio | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m. Beaten by Vail Of Honor when second of seven at 19-10 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. The percentage call is to oppose. |
(7)  Stomping Moon | | | | | 4 | Brandon Whitacre | Kevin Joy | He has won four times from 6f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 2-5fav at Mountaineer Park over 7f earlier this month, beating Fly Home by 4l. Entitled to be thereabouts. |
3rd (1)  Secret Path | | | | | 8 | Edgar Paucar | Eddie Clouston | Winner of seven races from 7f to 1m. Beaten 18l behind Assembly Point at 16-10fav when seventh of eight on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jamie Ness. Needs more to figure. |
(4)  Obiwan | | | | | 7 | Luis Batista | Eddie Clouston | Has won nine races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 1/2l by Afjan when second of eight at 11-2 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 7f (good) earlier this month. Warrants serious consideration. |
An easy winner over C&D last time out, STRIKE THE TOP is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can notch up a ninth career success. Obiwan and Stomping Moon need considering as well.
Race 5: 02:55 +1d Mountaineer Race 8 - Claiming
(8)  Vasy Says Nyet | | | | | 4 | Kyle Gilbert | Julia Gilbert | A winner at 5f. Well beaten at 100-1 behind Dr Schuster when eighth of nine on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. This looks beyond him. |
(6)  Standinginthefire | | | | | 3 | Luciano Hernandez | Joe Pizzurro | A winner at 6f. Well beaten at 39-1 behind Wow Wish when last of nine on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f last month. Unlikely to trouble the principals. |
(1)  Brazilian Sea | | | | | 4 | Yuri Yaranga | Burton Sipp | Placed once in ten starts. Beaten 20l behind Dr Schuster at 20-1 when seventh of nine on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Easily overlooked. |
(2)  Mo Town Blues | | | | | 4 | Jairo Hernandez | Alexis Lopez | A winner at 5f. Beaten 14l behind Stunning Hero at 20-1 when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f in July. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Fernando Vergara. Has it all to do. |
4th (4)  Harpersgonefishing | | | | | 4 | Jose Vega | Marion Cuttino | Successful twice at 6f. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Nico Lucky when last of seven on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m earlier this month. Others arrive in better heart. |
3rd (13)  Ray's Gone Astray | | | | | 4 | Luis Batista | Eddie Clouston | A winner at 5f. Beaten behind Russian Hammer at 10-1 when seventh of eight on his latest outing at Delaware Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Robert Smith. Reserve. |
2nd (3)  Intransigent | | | | | 3 | Yan Aviles | Eddie Clouston | Won on his latest outing when 7-10fav at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month, beating S S Trackside Fun by 4 1/2l. The one to beat. |
(9)  Value Engineer | | | | | 3 | Brandon Whitacre | Jeff Zook | A winner at 7f. Finished 8l behind Silver Front when fifth of six at 5-2 on his latest outing at Colonial Downs over 1m (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Maker. Holds strong claims. |
1st (5)  Outgunned | | | | | 3 | Matias Bravo | Juan Silva | A winner at 6f. Finished 12l behind Journey D' Oro when sixth of seven at 15-2 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 5f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jorge Periban. Noted. |
(7)  Seax | | | | | 4 | Jose Bracho | Jose Bracho | A winner at 6f. Finished 11l behind Dr Schuster when fifth of nine at 15-2 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Cannot be ruled out. |
(10)  Necco | | | | | 6 | Luis Tapara | Stephen Murtough | A winner at 5f. Well beaten at 35-1 behind Dr Schuster when last of nine on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Appears held on that form. |
(11)  Moon Over Dubai | | | | | 4 | Agustin Bracho | Jami Poole | A winner at 6f. Beaten 8l behind Sam Stormy at 16-1 when last of eight on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 7f (good) earlier this month. Reserve. |
(12)  In The Gospel | | | | | 6 | Jose Davila | Sara Stanoszek | He has won four times from 4f to 7f, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 7l behind Emperorofthedark at 100-1 when last of 9 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 2f earlier this month. The percentage call is to look elsewhere for win purposes. |
(14)  Big Way | | | | | 4 | Luis Negron | Juan Silva | A winner at 6f. Third of nine behind Dr Schuster beaten 5l at 16-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Reserve. |
INTRANSIGENT did it well when scoring comfortably over C&D last time out, and he may have too much for the likes of Outgunned and Value Engineer.
Race 6: 00:00 +1d Mountaineer Race 1 - Claiming
(7)  Unmatched | | | | | 3 | Bailey Weatherly | Donald Blankenship | Successful at 5f and 6f. Well beaten at 33-1 behind Sweet Baby Ray when last of 9 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 7f (good) last month. Eases in grade to aid her chances. |
(8)  Eilat | | | | | 4 | Agustin Bracho | Jami Poole | Successful twice at 5f. Beaten 3/4l by Skylar's Sister when second of 8 at 15-2 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f earlier this month. A key player. |
(1)  Cantho | | | | | 4 | Jairo Hernandez | Robert Fiesman | Successful twice at 5f. Finished 4 1/2l behind Algarca when fifth of 7 at 11-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Needs to show more. |
(2)  Tambarella | | | | | 3 | Kevin Gonzalez | Stephani Norris | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 12l behind Skylar's Sister when sixth of 8 at 11-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f earlier this month. Unlikely to be good enough. |
(3)  Citrina | | | | | 3 | Jose Bracho | Richard Zielinski | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 10l behind Bluebird Sing when last of 5 at 33-10 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 5f earlier this month. Will find this easier. |
(4)  Bidofhoney | | | | | 5 | Brandon Whitacre | Terry Crago | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten 12l behind Skylar's Sister at 22-1 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f earlier this month. Needs to put that display behind her. |

(6)  Gold Pass | | | | | 8 | Ricardo Barrios | William Howard | Successful twice at 1m, but last win was over five years ago. Finished 11l behind Golden Account when fourth of 6 at 50-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Should go well. |
EILAT occupied the runner-up berth over an extended 5f here earlier in the month and she looks to have lots in her favour as she bids to go one better. Unmatched and Citrina are others to note.
Race 7: 00:25 +1d Mountaineer Race 2 - Allowance
(1)  Xpensive Princess | | | | | 4 | Agustin Bracho | Jami Poole | Won on her latest outing when 17-10fav at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month, beating Generous Woman by 3l. Holds an obvious chance. |
(2)  Portia's Hope | | | | | 4 | Luciano Hernandez | Geoffrey Dixon | A winner at 6f. Finished 11l behind True Indy when sixth of 7 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Might find a few too strong. |
(3)  Machen Mayhem | | | | | 5 | Yan Aviles | Eddie Clouston | A winner at 5f, but that win was over two years ago. Finished 2 1/4l behind Xhilaratingpurpose when fourth of 8 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f (good) last month. Not out of it. |
(4)  D'Funny Girl | | | | | 4 | Kevin Gonzalez | Crystal Richison | Placed in three of five starts. Beaten 1 3/4l by S S Flamingo when second of 9 at 30-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f earlier this month. Likely to be on the premises. |
(5)  My Lucky Deia | | | | | 3 | Bailey Weatherly | J Baird | A winner at 5f. Finished 9l behind True Indy when fourth of 7 at 4-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Could get involved. |
(6)  Shotgun Margaret | | | | | 3 | Luis Batista | John Shuler | A winner at 6f. Finished 6l behind S S Flamingo when fifth of 9 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f earlier this month. Unlikely to threaten the principals. |
(7)  Trace Estate | | | | | 6 | Brandon Whitacre | Cheyann Bissell | A winner at 6f. Beaten 13l behind S S Flamingo at 75-1 when eighth of 9 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f earlier this month. Looks vulnerable once more. |
XPENSIVE PRINCESS struck by three lengths over 6f here on her most recent start and she can follow up. D'funny Girl and Machen Mayhem are also worthy of consideration.
Race 8: 00:50 +1d Mountaineer Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
(1)  Midnight Stroller | | | | | 3 | Brandon Whitacre | John Shuler | Placed once in seven starts. Finished 7l behind Here'sthebreadman when last of 6 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Makes limited appeal. |
(2)  Majesty's Cowboy | | | | | 3 | Jose Vega | John Shuler | Placed once in five starts. Beaten 2 3/4l by Here'sthebreadman when second of 6 at 5-2 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Merits consideration with a similar bid. |
(3)  Northern Runner | | | | | 4 | Jairo Hernandez | Marco Ccamaque | Unplaced in all 16 starts. Third of 6 behind Here'sthebreadman beaten 3l at 2-1fav on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Enters calculations. |
(4)  Fernando's Gold | | | | | 3 | Kevin Gonzalez | Geoffrey Dixon | Placed twice in six starts. Beaten 3/4l by San Sebastian when second of 7 at 2-1fav on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Will be hard to keep out of the finish. |
(5)  The Groom's Jul | | | | | 3 | Kyle Gilbert | Jennifer Johnson | Yet to place in nine starts. Finished 7l behind Here'sthebreadman when fifth of 6 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Only playing for a minor role. |
(6)  All Roads To Denis | | | | | 4 | Luis Batista | Devan Ewell | Placed in five of 18 starts. Finished 4l behind Here'sthebreadman when fourth of 6 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f earlier this month. Not dismissed. |
FERNANDO'S GOLD beat Majesty's Cowboy (third) when denied by just under a length in second here last month and he can confirm his superiority over that rival to shed his maiden tag. Northern Runner completes the shortlist.
