STORMY HOLLOW (8) proved too strong two runs ago at Mountaineer Park. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1308m at Charles Town, beaten 15 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. GRAND BEY (5) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. COOL COUPLE (4) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to make it two on the bounce. HARBOUR BRIDGE (6) found plenty to salute by 3 lengths three runs back at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Good record at this journey with two wins and five minor placings from eight starts and has solid claims.

Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on December 19 over 1207m, 6 len behind Improbable First with 56kg at $26.50. Before that second last of 10 at this track on December 8 over 1609m, 22 len behind Dark Baron with 56kg at $23.10. This looks too tough.

Comments

Returns from a 38-day let-up. Last start second last of 8 at Charles Town on December 6 over 1308m, 15 len behind Sisyphus carrying 57kg at $4.70. Before that scored a big 8 len win at Mountaineer Park November 25 over 1106m defeating Mariachi Justice carrying 56kg at $2.20. Capable of more – worth another chance.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track on December 19 over 1207m, 4 len behind Improbable First carrying 56kg at $5.10. The race before that eased back early on 8th of 11 at this track on December 8 over 1673m, 11 len behind Royal Dragoon with 56kg at $5.70. A top-three finish wouldn't surprise.
