Mountaineer Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
FINDING CANDY (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.75 lengths away in second over 1609m at this track (Turf) when he was handy all the way. Likely improver with strong prospects. JUNIOR CHIEF (2) is a eight-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 6 lengths when sixth over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Among the leading chances with the run under his belt. TODO MEN (6) was well in commission last start over 1207m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) when fourth, beaten 10 lengths. Extra trip is important. Worth another chance. CRIME LORD (4) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish third over 1006m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) after showing good early speed. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on May 18 over 1609m, 2.75 len behind Lord Baranof carrying 54kg at $2.70. The race before that 2nd of 8 at Gulfstream Park on May 9 over 1408m, 2.75 len behind Beau Black carrying 55kg at $2.30. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
