Comment: Finished last of five in September in an optional claimer; one-time useful operator and he meets the required standard ability wise; returns from an absence here; clear chance as he clearly knows how to get his head in front and has previously gone well fresh off a break.

EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: STAR SHOPPING is expected to get the job done. He is a distance winner and should be suited by the abundance of pace up front, while Ocean Of Storms is also respected.

Master Of The Nite

Jockey: Victor Fernandez Trainer: Rey Mendoza Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 515262

11/4

Comment: Is a specialist at this trip and has two wins to his name this year; went close when runner-up (muddy track) three weeks ago in a claimer; definite chance.

7/2

Comment: Went close when runner-up over 6f here (claimer) 20 days ago; five-time C&D winner but could be at the extent of his ability; others have more pressing claims as no longer in his pomp.

Last Cookie

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Rey Mendoza Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 185534

9/2

Comment: Has proven competitive in a race of this nature and is a specialist at this trip; not disgraced when fourth in a claimer (muddy track) 21 days ago; can be in the mix as shown he can get his head in front.

Star Shopping

Jockey: Alexander Chavez Trainer: Nestor Rivera Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 8463

6/1

Comment: Finished third beaten 4l 13 days ago in a claimer; successful four times from 48 career outings (5f-1m½f); tag drops from $7.5k to $5k here; stable is ticking along nicely; plenty of appeal as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals and his last run was encouraging.

Bourbon Wisdom

Jockey: Anthony Nunez Trainer: Jeffrey Skerrett Age/Wt: 8/8-7 F: 541483

7/1

Comment: Has scored over C&D; split Master Of The Nite (runner-up) and Last Cookie (fourth) three weeks ago when third at 20-1 (beaten just over 2l, muddy track) in a claimer; looks likely to be involved.

Ocean Of Storms

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Saul Morales Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 714866

9/1

Comment: Finished last of six over 5½f here (claimer) on debut for this trainer two weeks ago; can be a player at this level and has got his head in front multiple times this year; likely to be a threat if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 6l) last month in a claimer; makes limited appeal.

Deep Faith

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Saul Morales Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 715166

14/1

Comment: Finished last of six when close behind Star Shopping two weeks ago in a claimer; managed two wins in his last five outings; can be a player at this level; claiming value now drops to $5k; likely to be in contention.

Oiler

Comment: Behind Sailor's Chance when finishing last of six 41 days ago in a claimer; likes this combination of C&D; subpar since successful in a starter allowance at Mahoning Valley in January; shown nothing recently so passed over.
