Verdict: VENIK will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast and has been successful at this track before. This Laughs On You is an interesting candidate.

This Laughs On You

Jockey: Gaddiel Martinez Trainer: Randall Russell Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 3-14

Comment: Held in fourth 14 days ago in an allowance race; not had much racing - fourth outing here; first attempt in claiming company; he can make a bold bid if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and was a winner two starts ago.

Schnittker

None The Wiser

Jockey: Brooke Bays Trainer: Lance Stokes Age/Wt: 4/8-4 F: 77-21

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; easy winner (4½l), breaking his duck at the seventh time of asking last month in a maiden claimer; up in class (in for $25k); easy enough to take on as step up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher.

Venik

Jockey: Scott Spieth Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 57661

Comment: Has found improvement of late; came out on top by just over 1l over 5½f here (maiden claimer) when registering his first success at the fifth time of asking a week ago; although up in class he appears to be in top form so holds leading claims.

Verdict: DOUBLE UP LARRY is top of the list. He had the reopposing Chubs Rocket behind last time and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed.

Storm Wind

Jockey: Pablo Morales Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 26

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing sixth in blinkers last month at Penn National in a stakes special weight maiden; stable is ticking along nicely; capable of making an impact if giving a more streetwise showing and he has shown bits and pieces of promise.

Comment: Respectable effort in defeat (beaten just under 2l) in a claimer when little between him and Partner Tours (fifth) last month; prospects as lower claiming tag should make this easier and his last run was encouraging.

Midnight Ambition

Jockey: Martina Rojas Trainer: Murray Rojas Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 35-516

Comment: No impression when sixth of seven in a claimer at Penn National four weeks ago; he meets the required standard ability wise; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $6.3k); a likely player as his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear and was successful two starts back.

Comment: Held when fourth of five upped to 1m½f last month in a claimer; has won four races from 6f to 1m½f and can be a player at this level; in the mix as shown promise on occasion and best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively.

Bear Creek

Jockey: Pablo Morales Trainer: Mark Hoffman Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 2-4236

Comment: Performed at a higher level than this in his peak and achieved four wins at this venue; not disgraced when sixth here over 6f (claimer) last month; moves down to an easier grade (in for $5k); can give it a good shot.

Comment: Favourite when last of seven in a claimer (stumbled at the start, Thistledown) last month; managed just one success in her career to date; Addiel Ayala here for one ride; up in class (in for $12.5k); may have to settle for supporting role.

Jockey: Mike Allen Trainer: John Fennessy Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 3-3694

Comment: Split Hazard Pay (second) and Caladium (seventh) over 6f here (claimer) when beaten 6l 13 days ago; form has an uneven look to it and poor strike-rate; found this claiming level has been beyond her recently so only limited appeal.
