Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 3½l) in an allowance optional claimer two months ago on debut for this trainer; successful three times from five starts in France, picking up plenty of prize-money in the process; she has won after a layoff in the past and capable of going well.

14/1

Comment: Yet to win a race of this value but has achieved eight wins from 21 career runs; narrow success in a stakes at Belmont At The Big A five weeks ago on debut for this trainer; the Miguel Clement outfit is running hot currently; should be on the premises despite this step up in class and his most recent trackwork catches the eye.

Comment: Finished 11th of 12 in a claimer at Belmont At The Big A on debut for this trainer when behind three of these 35 days ago; has won at this track; he can be competitive at this level; calmer waters here (in for $12.5k, $25k tag last time); has to be considered as from low numbers over this C&D his jockey has an impressive record and he knows how to win.

Jockey: Emisael Jaramillo Trainer: Carlos David Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 42-423

Comment: Not beaten far at Gulfstream Park in May in a claimer; has been consistent of late and operating at a lower level than at his peak; now down in class (in for $12.5k from $25k); likely to be in contention as latest run was an encouraging one.

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Ilkay Kantarmaci Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 444445

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 11l into fifth) over 1m1f at Belmont At The Big A (claimer) six weeks ago; could be at the extent of his ability and quite a while since he tasted success; in for a $12.5k tag so down in class ($16k last time); makes limited appeal.

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 28-855

Comment: Could not manage better than fifth (Oaklawn Park) in March in a claimer; successful four times from 19 career runs; claiming value now drops to $12.5k; returns from a break today; easy to see him making an impression given his record when fresh and he has shown signs of promise in the past.

Allure Of Money

Jockey: Lane Luzzi Trainer: Charlton Baker Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 615264

Comment: Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 8-22); didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Belmont At The Big A (beaten 6l) in a claimer (dropped back to 6f) in May; jockey booking is a positive and Lane Luzzi here for one ride; ought to give it a shot.
