Comment: Finished last of seven 44 days ago on his first start for this trainer back down to 6½f (sloppy track) in a claimer; claiming value now drops to $5k; workout history raises concerns this race may be needed so one to tread carefully with.

Comment: Useful in this grade; not disgraced when sixth last month in an allowance optional claimer; now down in class (in for $5k from $15k); should be involved if replicating the best of his form.

9/4

Comment: Just denied when favourite here over 6½f (claimer) two weeks ago on debut for this trainer; admirably consistent and impressive record here of three wins from ten runs; assuming he steps up from most recent effort then hard to dismiss.

Gold Fiber

Jockey: Juan Nunez Trainer: Kevin Joy Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 115122

11/4

Comment: Normally pretty consistent and has a good record at this venue, including eight course-and-distance wins; finished in front of Missionsninetynine and Fly Fly Away in a claimer when going down narrowly last month; has to be taken seriously.

Missionsninetynine

Jockey: Victor Rodriguez Trainer: Kevin Joy Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 823113

8/1

Comment: Split Gold Fiber and Fly Fly Away in a claimer when on the premises, finishing third 23 days ago; performed at a higher level than this in his peak and has a course-and-distance record of four wins from 14 starts; should not be far away as his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

Comment: Is a two-time winner this year; good third at 20-1 when close behind Restless two weeks ago in a claimer; Javier Rivera having only ride on the card.

Comment: Quick away to lead from a wide draw (bobbled at the start) two months ago at Parx when last of ten in a claimer; successful three times from 5f to 7f; by no means ruled out as shown promise on occasion.

Fly Fly Away

Jockey: Maximo Chilo Trainer: Owen Garber Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 34534

20/1

Comment: Respectable display to finish fourth, beaten just under 3l last month when just behind Gold Fiber (runner-up) and Missionsninetynine (third) in a claimer; perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and others more persuasive.

Comment: Solid effort when beaten 5l to finish seventh in a claimer (muddy track, not far behind Fly Fly Away) 51 days ago; his best looks to be behind him and tricky to make a case.

Larz

Jockey: Abnel Bocachica Trainer: C O Callaghan Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 58-47

Comment: Three-time winner within the resume (from 5½f-1m½f) but may not have any more improvement left; beaten 10l in seventh at Penn National over 6f (claimer) 22 days ago; now moved up in the grades (in for $5k); others appeal more with several rivals in good nick.

Jockey: James Adams Trainer: Willie Kee Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 0-6055

Comment: May have reached limits of his ability; unable to land a blow in fifth over 5½f at Laurel Park (claimer) last month; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and hard to see him involved.
