Comment: Beaten 9l in fourth at Saratoga (muddy track) 43 days ago in a maiden special weight; nicely bred (by Union Rags); not hard to turn elsewhere as needs headgear to provoke some improvement.

Comment: Problems at the start (problems in the gate) when a disappointing fifth at Aqueduct last April in a maiden special weight; few miles on the clock with this his third race; been off the track a long time; likely to be thereabouts as pleasing in workout a week ago and he now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Comment: Often been there or thereabouts lately; a previous winner here; not disgraced when fourth of five in a starter allowance in June; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role given the strong opposition here.

Comment: Related to Apalachee Bay, winning form over 6½f-1m½f; nicely bred (by Improbable); pedigree suggests she may improve with time; hasn't shown much in her trackwork so the advice is to watch the betting.

Comment: Has winning track form; managed two wins in his last six outings; fair effort when beaten just over 1l at Saratoga three weeks ago on his first start for this trainer in an allowance race; others more persuasive given this looks a decent race.

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 9l into seventh, Saratoga) when behind two of these last month in an allowance race; a winner over C&D; subpar since successful in a claimer at Aqueduct New Year's Eve; hard to see him involved with previous efforts in this company suggesting he could struggle.
