Verdict: WARRIOR'S DEFENSE is hard to look beyond. She looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and she knows how to get her head in front.

Tootaloo Kangaroo

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 5-113

Comment: Behind Cruzin Anna when a disappointing third 49 days ago in an allowance race; has a good C&D record (three wins from six runs); fitted with blinkers for the first time; should go close.

Dancing Diana

Comment: Not beaten that far in fourth (7l) in an allowance optional claimer at Delaware Park four weeks ago; has largely been consistent of late; a long time since her last win; this looks a decent race so hard to recommend.

Verdict: CODY PASS is hard to look beyond. He has winning form in his record and can rebound from a modest last run, while My Detroit City is one to take seriously.

Sunshine Johnny

Comment: Beaten fourth of five dropped back in distance when just behind Bejuco (second) and My Detroit City (third) last month in an optional claimer; is two from 16 in his career; he meets the required standard ability wise; now over an extra 2½f.

Jockey: Maicol Inirio Trainer: Flint Stites Age/Wt: 8/8-9 F: 733442

Comment: Solid effort when beaten just over 2l to finish runner-up in a claimer at Parx (muddy track) last month; recent form has a decent look to it; form could be levelling off; Maicol Inirio a noteworthy booking.

Mischief Warrior

Jockey: David Cora Trainer: Jose Bobadilla Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 4656

Comment: No impression when sixth of eight in a claimer (soft) 26 days ago upped to 1m; brings winning C&D form to the table; has struggled to factor since winning a claimer at Penn National in December; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $5k); others more likely.

Jockey: David Cora Trainer: Jose Bobadilla Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 18565

Comment: Not beaten too far when fifth here in a stakes claiming last month on debut for this trainer; slumped a bit since winning a claimer at Parx in March; down in class this time but only limited appeal.
