Verdict: NEW AGE BAD GIRL is a C&D winner and the likely strong pace up front is a plus. Afandi, Take Wings and Lady Mosler are also of interest.

Take Wings

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 631516

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from her last four; finished last of six (sloppy track) in May at Charles Town in a claimer; $15k claiming tag this time (up from $12.5k); can't be ruled out.

Sweet Baby Ray

Jockey: Charle Oliveros Trainer: Eric Reed Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 9-8231

Comment: Got home in front by a head last month in a claimer; managed two wins in her last six outings; a winner over C&D; claiming tag now upped to $15k; despite that Mountaineer Park success, looks risky.

Comment: Favourite and just came up short over 5f here (claimer) on Monday; has winning form at this track; has chalked up two wins from her last three; claiming tag now upped from $4k; may have to settle for supporting role as now looks to be past her prime.

Comment: Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 8-31); won in good style in a claimer last month upped to 1m; in for a $15k tag so up in class ($6.5k last time); step up to allowance company will make life tougher so hard to recommend.

Brotha Keny

Jockey: Joseph Ramos Trainer: William Morey Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 344113

Comment: Showing consistent form; on target twice in his last three outings; respectable effort to finish third, beaten just over 1l at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1m½f (Grade 3) 29 days ago.

Extradition

Jockey: Rocco Bowen Trainer: Jason Dacosta Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 7-52134

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 9l in fourth) 43 days ago at Thistledown splitting Chunk Of Gold, Mcafee and Brereton's Baytown in a Grade 3; knocking at the door recently; this is competitive and looks an unlikely winner.

Just A Fair Shake

Jockey: J G Torrealba Trainer: Daniel Mckenzie Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 3-1225

Comment: Placed in a stakes in May; out of the frame (beaten 9l in fifth) over 1m½f at Monmouth Park (stakes, sloppy track) 50 days ago; warrants respect as has wins in the formbook and he can take this step up in class in his stride.

Verdict: ATKINS can disappoint supporters of Doctor Nash, who is bidding to extend a winning run and is proven at the trip. Doctor Nash and Sweet Soddy J should also be in the hunt.

Hoylake

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Krista Hetrick Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 211-11

Comment: Recorded second C&D win last month; yet to taste defeat over this C&D, winning on all two attempts; successful on his last four starts; needs to be respected.

Sweet Soddy J

Jockey: Sunday Jr Diaz Trainer: Michael Jones Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 5-7221

Comment: Managed to get on the lead from his wide berth here over 5½f (claimer, muddy track) when easily winning last month; a winner over this C&D; successful twice in his last five starts; one to be interested in.

Doctor Nash

Comment: Came out on top by just over 2l (sloppy track) at Mahoning Valley in December in an allowance optional claimer; one-time useful operator and has achieved seven wins from 23 career runs; has had some time off; cannot be ignored.

Geaux Yoshka

Jockey: Angel Diaz Trainer: Nestor Rivera Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 332214

Comment: Finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (6l, Thistledown) five weeks ago in an allowance race; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a eighth career win); a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and easy to oppose.

Scoot Daddy
