Mountaineer Park Race 8 - West Virginia Derby Stakes

J J GREY (4) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 1.75 lengths over 1710m in Listed grade at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from six starts. Top chance again. TRENDSETTER (3) found plenty to score by 2.25 lengths three runs back in the G3 Lexington Stakes at Keeneland (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Proving a good combination with Kazushi Kimura with three straight placings. Well placed and should be in the finish. WAYNE'S LAW (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1408m in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with two placings from four starts. Capable of going well. BAYTOWN DREAMER (2) improved last start to finish third over 1710m at Woodbine. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
