Jockey: Emisael Jaramillo Trainer: Victor Barboza Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 72184

Comment: Disappointed backers when fourth here over 1m½f (claimer) in May; in for a $17.5k tag so up in class ($12.5k last time); ought to be competitive if reproducing form of her win three starts back.

Comment: Won a maiden claimer by 2½l when registering her first success at the fourth time of asking five weeks ago; Saffie Joseph's runners are going great guns at the moment; must go on the shortlist.

Jockey: Luis Fuenmayor Trainer: Kathleen O'Connell Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 23817

Comment: Left backers at 15-8 frustrated when seventh over 1m½f here (claimer) last month; has found improvement of late; has to be considered if excused most recent run as achieved maiden claimer success two runs back and latest speed figure suggests she can mix it with these despite the higher tag.

Smart Style

Jockey: Jonathan Ocasio Trainer: Roger Laurin Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 78651

Comment: Has displayed improved form on last two starts; scored impressively here over 1m½f (maiden claimer) when getting off the mark at the fifth time of asking last month; in for a $17.5k tag here, up from $12.5k last time; may find this tougher stepping up from maiden claiming level unlikely to trouble the principals.

Thunder Princess

Jockey: Cipriano Gil Trainer: Fernando Abreu Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 333431

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; wide-margin winner of maiden claimer last month to break her duck; higher claiming tag here so up in class; Move up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher so she can be taken on.

Verdict: TIMBER is the recommendation. She likes to stalk the early speed and can confirm placings with Onemorsilverdollar and Cash Due, who were behind her when last seen.

Infinitely

Jockey: Luis Fuenmayor Trainer: Gustavo Delgado Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 0-787

Comment: Was seventh of 12, beaten 15l, over 5f here (maiden claimer) last month; lightly raced with this just her fifth appearance; has to prove this longer trip is what she wants and looks an unlikely winner.

Worth Considering

Jockey: Emisael Jaramillo Trainer: Tareq Moubarak Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 8-56266

Comment: Not disgraced when sixth of eight (dropped to 6f) last month in a maiden claimer; tag has been dropped to $12.5k; warrants respect as has bits and pieces of decent form.

Comment: Yet to manage better than fourth in her five races; came home fifth, beaten 7l, in a maiden claimer last month upped to this distance; could be interesting with a bit more luck as excuses last time and she has shown signs of promise in the past.

Loyalist

Jockey: Jonathan Ocasio Trainer: Javier Negrete Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 665

Comment: Not had much racing - fourth outing here; finished fifth, beaten 8l, over 1m here (maiden claimer) in first-time blinkers five weeks ago; down in class now, dropping from a $17.5k tag; makes limited appeal.

Not One Less

Jockey: Heriberto Figueroa Trainer: Antonio Sano Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 586363

Comment: Comfortably beaten despite finishing third in a maiden claimer just ahead of Party Queen last month; has raised her game the last twice but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 17; encouraging jockey booking and Heriberto Figueroa here for one ride; looks more likely to place than win so looks opposable.

Jockey: Miguel Vasquez Trainer: Rohan Crichton Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 8-2542

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing fifth last Saturday in a claimer; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; now a lower claiming tag ($6.3k from $10k) so down in class; no surprise to see her go well if in the same form she showed when winning three starts back.

Comment: Specialist here with three wins; produced an encouraging effort (third of nine, beaten just over 4l) last month splitting Miguel's Belle, Patty's Having Fun and Amy The Butcher in a claimer; strong contender.

Still Bulletproof

Jockey: Jonathan Ocasio Trainer: P Biancone Age/Wt: 2/8-6 F: 2

Comment: Not beaten too far into runner-up on his debut two months ago over C&D; related to Stakes winner Bulletproof One; if building on initial effort has claims.

Fear

Jockey: Emisael Jaramillo Trainer: J D Angelo Age/Wt: 2/8-6 F: 32

Comment: Has a nice pedigree (by Win Win Win); minor honours when 30-100 in a maiden special weight five weeks ago; plenty of appeal as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred son of Win Win Win.

Comment: Held on his debut sporting blinkers in course maiden special weight over 6f (16-1) 20 days ago; has a bit to find with Neo Zapper (second) on that running; Neolithic gets winners on the turf; could improve from first run although a leap forward required to win this.

Comment: Street Boss gets winners on the turf; pedigree suggests he may improve with time; shares a dam with Stickit To The Man, a 6f winner; a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive as facing a fairly tall order.

Jockey: Leonel Reyes Trainer: J D Angelo Age/Wt: 2/8-6

Comment: Recent workouts point to readiness; related to multiple race winner Gangly (5f-6½f); breeding suggests he may get better with age; can be in the mix as some good aspects to his profile.

Jockey: Yolber Torres Trainer: Brian Lusk Age/Wt: 2/7-13

Comment: Related to Lasso, winning form over 5f-7f; pedigree suggests he may get better with age; supporters may like to have seen stronger workout history; best watched unless the market says otherwise.

Win With Faith

Jockey: Miguel Vasquez Trainer: Ronald Spatz Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 172232

Comment: Went close in a stakes in May but has gained all his wins at a lower level; behind Layabout in an allowance optional claimer when runner-up (sent off 9-10) 43 days ago; this represents a step up in class so has some questions to answer.

Comment: Unbeaten at this course after four runs; sequence of wins is stacking up; clear-cut victory over 1m½f here (allowance race) two months ago; leading claims given his record when fresh and he can handle the step up in class.

Jockey: Rajiv Maragh Trainer: S Joseph Jr Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 13897-

Comment: Behind Forged Steel in a Grade 3 (Churchill Downs) when beaten 22l in October; returns from a layoff; cannot be ignored as shown he can win fairly recently and dropping in class.

Comment: Back to winning ways when in front by just over 1l last month in a claimer; class riser as runs for a $10k tag here; may have to settle for supporting role as poor record running for the second time after an absence.

Saratoga Cruiser

Jockey: Jose Morelos Trainer: Collin Maragh Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 972536

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 4½l, finishing sixth of nine in a claimer five weeks ago; claiming value now rises to $25k; can be in the mix as shown some ability on occasion and he can cope with this step up in class.

Steppe

Jockey: Miguel Vasquez Trainer: Bobby Dibona Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 54-412

Comment: Stepped up on his last two starts; well beaten second in an allowance optional claimer five weeks ago; has to be respected as pleasing in workout last Friday and he won a maiden claimer two runs back.

Verdict: EXCUSES looks the one to back. He is pretty solid on the strength of his latest effort, while Sigan Viendo and Accelerate Me are among the dangers.

Handsome Fox

Jockey: Jose Leon Trainer: Gerald James Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 490556

Comment: Finished sixth, beaten 9l, four weeks ago in a maiden claimer; detectable promise, knocking on the door on occasions but yet to open his account after eight starts; not easy to fancy.

Starship Magellan

Jockey: Luis Fuenmayor Trainer: Javier Negrete Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: 9-0470

Comment: Failed to land a blow when tenth of 11 last week on debut outing for new trainer in a maiden claimer; yet to get off the mark in seven attempts (fourth his best finish); claiming value now rises to $17.5k; may have to settle for supporting role.

Excuses

Jockey: Marcos Meneses Trainer: A Sanchez Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 403-62

Comment: A narrow second at 1-2 in a maiden claimer dropped back in distance six weeks ago; has shown some recent improvement; claiming tag now upped to $17.5k; arguably the one to beat as recent display was promising.

Flag Officer

Jockey: Edwin Gonzalez Trainer: Antonio Sano Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 684332

Comment: Ran well to finish second (beaten 2½l) last month when having two of these behind in a maiden claimer; has taken a step forward the last twice and produced a string of consistent efforts; capable of going well if backing up last run.

Accelerate Me

Jockey: Miguel Vasquez Trainer: Mark Passley Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5325

Comment: Split Flag Officer (runner-up) and Handsome Fox (sixth) in a maiden claimer last month when first-time blinkers didn't help; enters calculations as finished second in June.

David H

Jockey: Jose Morelos Trainer: Cathy Rountree Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5-865

Comment: Could not manage better than fifth in May at Tampa Bay Downs in a maiden claimer; claiming tag drops to $17.5k (from $25k); can be on the premises.

Sigan Viendo

Jockey: Leonel Reyes Trainer: J D Angelo Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5-234

Comment: Some promise; closest he has come to winning after four starts was a second; not beaten too far when fourth here when back to 5½f three weeks ago in a maiden claimer; claiming value now drops from $25k; poses a threat.

Jockey: Emisael Jaramillo Trainer: Murat Sancal Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Little Patito

Jockey: Yolber Torres Trainer: Nestor Cascallares Age/Wt: 3/7-13 F: 080776

Comment: Been out of sorts of late; finished tailed off here over 5f (maiden claimer) two months ago; little chance.
