Comment: Finished sixth, beaten 19l, on first run for this trainer (sloppy track) 40 days ago in an allowance race; useful at this level and best form so far in last two starts; a major contender if excused most recent run as achieved maiden special weight success two runs back and shown he can get his head in front.

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten 17l, 51 days ago in an allowance race; boasts winning form over C&D; grade looks suitable; Jeffrey Radosevich's runners are going great guns at the moment; capable of making an impact if finding his best form and the step up in trip is a plus.

Comment: Lightly raced with this just her fifth appearance; related to Stakes winner Fox Red; split a number of these rivals on her first start for this trainer last month when dropped to this trip in a maiden claimer; now a lower claiming tag ($7.5k from $12.5k) so down in class; should prove competitive.

Comment: Form has an up and down look to it; not beaten too far when fifth here 45 days ago in a maiden claimer; deeper waters here (in for $7.5k here, $5k tag last time); she can be taken on as running in what looks to be a hot race.

5/2

Comment: Course specialist who has won three times here but form could be levelling off; finished last of six at Mahoning Valley in January (muddy track) in a claimer; returns from an absence here; easy to oppose as no longer in his pomp.

Comment: Came out on top by 2l last month in a claimer; capable of making an impact.

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Robin Schuster Age/Wt: 12/8-9 F: 554215

7/1

Comment: Close up behind Markhamian when fifth in a claimer last month; brings plenty of winning course form to the table; this is competitive and may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Mon Camo

Jockey: Luis Gonzalez Trainer: Valerie Shanyfelt Age/Wt: 10/8-7 F: 513-5

7/1

Comment: Has won four times over course and distance; finished last of five in a claimer on first run for this trainer five weeks ago; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as best days now look to behind him.

Markhamian

Jockey: Miguel Martinez Trainer: Jabdiel Castillo Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 26434

7/1

Comment: Three-time winner in his career (from 5f-7f); has hit the frame in several recent runs; respectable effort (beaten just over 5l) in a claimer last month; easy to oppose as a few rivals look in good form.

Swelter

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Justin Radosevich Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 23319-

12/1

Comment: Made no impression, finishing ninth, despite being sent off favourite in a claimer in October; has winning form at this track; useful in this grade; returns from a layoff; chance if replicating the best of his form and he won a claimer two runs back.

Shadow Tracer

Jockey: Andrew Ramgeet Trainer: James Jackson Age/Wt: 11/8-11 F: 24-51

Comment: Did it nicely over 4½f at Mountaineer Park (claimer) last month; multiple course winner and proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a 19th win); recent win points to him being able to handle class rise so he's worth a go.
