MARKAWAY (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1207m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. CLEATUS (3) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1207m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. JACE (6) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. WATCH DUST FLY (1) stepped out for his debut over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) back on February 9 and finished eighth, beaten 38 lengths. Worth following up.
