Comment: Has been consistent of late and goes very well here with six course-and-distance wins to his name; respectable effort in a claimer four weeks ago; class dropper as runs for a $5k tag here; entitled to respect as his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when fifth of eight in October at Mahoning Valley in a claimer; useful in this grade; returns from a layoff; deeper waters here (in for $6.3k here, $5k tag last time); if excused most recent runs he would be interesting based on success three runs ago; hard to ignore.

Jockey: Brooke Bays Trainer: Gerald Brooks Age/Wt: 6/8-4 F: 807686

Comment: Finished last of six (sloppy track, Belterra Park) last month in a claimer; better than this level in his pomp and grade looks suitable; now down in class (in for $5k from $7.5k); should be thereabouts.

Jockey: Martina Rojas Trainer: Murray Rojas Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 9-6825

9/2

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when fifth of eight (lunged at the start) 20 days ago in a maiden claimer; has kicked on in her last couple of races; tag drops from $15k to $7.5k here; a good second two starts back and likely to be in contention.

Hope She Comes

Jockey: Kris Fox Trainer: Ariane Wilson Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 3344-

12/1

Comment: Not disgraced in fourth over 6f here (maiden claimer) in September on debut for this trainer; recent efforts have generally been solid; still winless and defeats stacking up (16 on the bounce); returns from a layoff; easy enough to take on as looks more likely to place than win.

Tapas Warrior

Jockey: Antonio Gallardo Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 3253

12/1

Comment: Four-race maiden though does have a second place to her name; finished third but wasn't beaten too far (7l, dropped back to this distance) at Penn National two weeks ago in a maiden claimer; claiming value now drops to $7.5k; Brandon Kulp's runners are going great guns at the moment; every chance.

R Penelope

Jockey: Juan Belisario Trainer: Murray Rojas Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 3-7438

14/1

Comment: Form has an up and down look to it and yet to open her account after ten starts; finished out the back 13 days ago in a maiden claimer; booking of Juan Belisario takes the eye; this line-up contains some strong opposition so hard to recommend.

Starship Radiance

Jockey: Walber Alencar Trainer: John Fennessy Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 2-78

20/1

Comment: Split a number of these rivals over 6f here (maiden claimer) when beaten 19l (eighth of 12) three weeks ago; last two runs were below standard set by second at Gulfstream Park three starts ago; must be respected.

Starship Legacy

Jockey: Mike Allen Trainer: John Fennessy Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 6

25/1

Comment: Was last of six on her debut (at Presque Isle Downs over 6f) in blinkers at 10-1 three weeks ago; claiming tag drops from $15k; will need to progress to get off the mark.

Strawberry Sky

Jockey: Francisco Garcia Trainer: Lawrence Antus Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 7-06

33/1

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Handy Dandy; behind R Penelope in a maiden claimer four weeks ago when beaten 9l on debut for this handler upped to 1m; hard to see her doing much.

Gran Conquistadora

Jockey: Brooke Bays Trainer: Marco Ccamaque Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 73660

40/1

Comment: Finished behind three of these rivals when tailed off three weeks ago in a maiden claimer; winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at ten; facing a testing assignment and unlikely to trouble the principals.

Brand New Dance

Jockey: Matilda Burnham Trainer: Niall Saville Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 9865

Comment: Not disgraced in fifth at Laurel Park last week in a maiden claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $7.5k here; she shouldn't be far away.
