Just Murphy

Jockey: Walter Cullum Trainer: Jeff Runco Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 432135

Comment: Useful in this grade and string of consistent efforts of late; not disgraced when fifth ten days ago (Charles Town) in a claimer; claiming tag rises to $6.5k here; the yard continues to be among winners recently; he shouldn't be far away if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and this step up in class unlikely to hinder him.

Harlan's Legacy

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Tina Ramgeet Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 2-3451

4/1

Comment: Back in the winners' enclosure scoring narrowly (muddy track) last month when Agenda and Sum Kinda Pretty were behind her in a claimer; resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a seventh career win); competitive shout.

4/1

Comment: Has won four times over course and distance and normally pretty consistent; third, beaten a neck, when behind the reopposing Harlan's Legacy 14 days ago (muddy track) in a claimer; goes on the shortlist.

Best Virginia

Jockey: Maikol Vilchez Trainer: Melinda Sanders Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 322542

7/1

Comment: A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 7-33; knocking at the door recently; wasn't disgraced when runner-up of five in a starter allowance on first run for current trainer last month upped to this trip; could be a bit flattered by latest effort so easy to oppose.

Team Mom Not Bruh

Jockey: Jairo Hernandez Trainer: Tina Ramgeet Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 4-422

12/1

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; admirably consistent; turned in a solid effort in defeat last Monday, when second (bumped at the start, Thistledown) in a claimer; one to note as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and her recent effort was encouraging.

Sum Kinda Pretty

Jockey: Luis Tapara Trainer: Juan Aguirre Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: -834

16/1

Comment: Fair effort when just over 2l fourth to Harlan's Legacy in a claimer (muddy track) last month; hasn't won for a while and form has an uneven look to it; now looks to be past her prime and might not be up to this.

Comment: Beaten 11l in a claimer (sloppy track) two weeks ago; this is his level; calmer waters here (in for $4k, $6.5k tag last time); if recent form can be forgiven, interesting based on win three runs ago; a possible player.

Lord Ante

Jockey: Ricardo Barrios Trainer: Denis Cluley Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 75-56

Comment: Last of six in a claimer three weeks ago when just behind Ambulante; useful in this grade; now a lower claiming tag ($4k from $12.5k) so down in class; shown he can win fairly recently and entitled to respect.

Comment: Unable to land a blow in seventh over 5½f at Presque Isle Downs (claimer) 12 days ago; struggled a bit since winning a maiden claimer at Mountaineer Park in September and may have reached limits of her ability; claiming value now drops from $5k; difficult to fancy.

Verdict: MAN ON THE MOON looks the one to back. He looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and has won twice over this C&D.

Grace In Excess

Jockey: Michael Pagan Trainer: Joseph Musarro Age/Wt: 4/7-10 F: 6559

Comment: Not disgraced in ninth in a claimer two months ago; she is the only filly here; workout history raises concerns this race may be needed so easy to oppose.

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 44553

Founder

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Moises Valdez Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 73

Comment: Has won four times from 6f up to 1m½f; hard to crab his most recent performance (third of eight) in a claimer 15 days ago; definite chance as recent display was promising and has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Krug

Comment: Creditable effort to finish fourth, beaten just over 4l over 6f here (claimer) on first outing for new trainer 15 days ago; no longer appears to be improving and a few throw outs since his success in a claimer at Mountaineer Park in October; he looks up against it given this looks a decent race.

Royal Air Force

Happy Champ

Jockey: Bailey Weatherly Trainer: Robert Scallan Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 6-5323

Comment: Admirable career strike-rate (ten from 47 to date) and one-time useful performer; fair effort splitting Chopped, Tonaltalitarian and Devil Vision two weeks ago (sloppy track) in a claimer; should give it a bold bid.
