Verdict: OUTRAGEOUSLY is a firm choice. She has winning form in the book and has been a winner over this C&D, while Caltha and Adiva must be respected.

Outrageously

Jockey: Edgar Morales Trainer: Jordan Blair Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 11-64

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten 3½l) at Oaklawn Park when dropped back to this trip in March in an allowance race; has chalked up three wins from her last six; can boast winning form over this C&D; strong claims.

Adiva

Jockey: Rafael Bejarano Trainer: Carlos Santamaria Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 622243

Comment: All three wins have come over this trip and running consistently; solid effort in a starter allowance (Oaklawn Park, sloppy track) 23 days ago on debut for this trainer; needs considering if building on last performance.

Lucky Phoenix

Jockey: Arcelio Flaco Trainer: Ron Herrell Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 63185

Comment: Finished just behind The Princess Says when fifth at Horseshoe Indianapolis 25 days ago in an optional claimer; is a multiple distance winner (all wins at this trip); this looks a fair heat so may be vulnerable.

The Princess Says

Jockey: Gabriel Saez Trainer: S Cunningham Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 783

Comment: A winner over this C&D; finished third but only beaten 2l in an optional claimer (Horseshoe Indianapolis) three weeks ago; now up to allowance level so there are better alternatives here.

Comment: Ready success in a claimer at Belterra Park in July; attempts to land a hat-trick; returns from a layoff here; steps up to allowance company.

Posh Playday

Jockey: Irving Moncada Trainer: Glenn Wismer Age/Wt: 7/8-1 F: 1-15

Comment: Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 6-25); finished fifth, beaten 8l, in a starter allowance (Turfway Park) in March; others more appealing in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Verdict: ASHKENAZI can take a big step forward from her debut and the benefit of experience may give her an edge over some of these. Woodall Pass and Hootdatlady should also be considered.

Little Tinker Elle

Jockey: Abel Cedillo Trainer: Jason McCutchen Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: This daughter of Maximum Security makes first appearance; market could reveal prospects.

Hootdatlady

Jockey: Gerardo Corrales Trainer: Wesley Ward Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Wesley Ward made a good start this season with two-year-olds; trainer has a good record with first-time-out runners here; competitive shout with sire producing lots of sprint winners - form of her yard is an obvious plus.

Diablo Shiraz

Jockey: Sophie Doyle Trainer: J Ennis Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to Seven Scents, winning form over 5f-1m; trainer gets plenty of debutant winners; bred to improve with age; a watching brief the best policy.

Cinnamon Sugar

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: John Hancock Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 55

Comment: Fifth beaten 9l last month (sloppy track, Keeneland) in a maiden special weight; can be in the mix now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and she could step up.

Elite Miss

Jockey: Javier Padron Barcenas Trainer: James Chapman Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: First public outing; early foal; interesting to see how she figures in the betting.

Nonstop Vino

Jockey: Adam Beschizza Trainer: J Ennis Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Her trainer gets plenty of debutant winners; can figure as has looked an intriguing prospect during trackwork and her sire suggests the distance might suit.

Woodall Pass

Jockey: Edgar Morales Trainer: Chasey Pomier Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 83

Comment: Sound effort when 66-1 third over 5f here (maiden special weight) two weeks ago; must be high on list now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and she knows more about the job in hand.

Ashkenazi

Jockey: Walter Rodriguez Trainer: Wesley Ward Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 4

Comment: Ran a bit below expectations on her debut at Keeneland at 1-3 last month; from powerful stable and trainer doing well with their juveniles; can have a big say now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and market vibes last time suggest she is capable of better.

Verdict: GOLDEN GLIDER gets the vote. He is a regular distance winner and has a healthy career record. Laughing Boy and Manta Rey should also be in the mix.

Golden Glider

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 21-422

Comment: Solid effort when beaten just under 3l to finish second (Oaklawn Park) four weeks ago in a starter allowance; producing consistent form and better than this level in his prime; a leading player as his jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D.

Pike Place

Jockey: Rafael Bejarano Trainer: Thomas Van Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 1-4465

Comment: Has won over C&D; slumped a bit since winning a claimer at Churchill Downs six months ago; held when fifth beaten 10l (close behind Beyond Best) last month (Oaklawn Park) in a claimer; class riser as runs for a $50k tag here; easy enough to take on as no longer in his pomp.

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: David Jacobson Age/Wt: 7/8-6 F: 12-78

Comment: Finished last of eight in February when leading early from a wide draw at Oaklawn Park in an allowance optional claimer; track has proven suitable before; useful in this grade; has to be considered as he knows how to get his head in front.

Manta Rey

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Norm Casse Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 61645

Comment: Useful at this level; creditable fifth, beaten just under 5l, of nine in a starter allowance last month upped to this trip (Oaklawn Park) on debut for this trainer; Norm Casse's runners are going great guns at the moment; capable of making an impact as shown he can get his head in front.

Comment: Has managed seven wins from 24 career runs; not beaten too far when fourth at Colonial Downs in August in a handicap; back from an absence here; looks likely to go well as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months and he has won after a layoff previously.

Watch Me Now

Jockey: Ben Curtis Trainer: J Desormeaux Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Tiz Splendid News (5½f-1m); busy trackwork profile suggests no fitness issue; can give it a good shot with signs of encouragement in profile.

King Of Gotham

Jockey: Luan Machado Trainer: Matthew Sims Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: U

Comment: Failed to complete at Keeneland over 7f at 14-1 42 days ago; significantly reduced claiming tag a concern so must step up if he is to threaten here.

Soco And Lime

Comment: Not beaten that far in sixth (9l) in a maiden special weight at Fair Grounds in March; not easy to fancy.

Comment: 12l second (muddy track, Oaklawn Park) last month in a maiden claimer; claiming value now drops from $50k; should go well.

Atomic Snow

Jockey: Carlos Barbosa Trainer: Bonnie Pittman Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to Luvahappyending, winning form over 6f-1m; overlooked unless the market says otherwise as this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals.

All The Luck

Jockey: Vincent Cheminaud Trainer: Gregory Foley Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 26-66

Comment: Found life tough when 18l back in sixth in a maiden claimer at Turfway Park in March; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $20k); interesting based on the pick of his form.

Romantic Lead

Jockey: Alex Achard Trainer: Karyn Wittek Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 24-49

Comment: Unable to land a blow in ninth in a maiden claimer two weeks ago on debut for this trainer; not yet off the mark in four attempts although has finished second; now eased in the grades (in for $20k); probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Outdoor Cat

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Rodolphe Brisset Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6

Comment: Held when sixth (beaten 10l) on his debut over C&D at 3-1 last month; class dropper as runs for a $20k tag here; likely to be in contention if giving a more streetwise showing and his latest trackwork was positive.

Gold Gunner

Jockey: Gabriel Saez Trainer: Mark Simms Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Plenty of trackwork in the book; nicely bred (by Gun Runner); sire gets his share of decent sorts; related to 1m winner Miss Gold; likely to be in contention.

Nico's Derby Run

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Jr Richard Dutrow, Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 3-93

Comment: Finished third but wasn't beaten too far (7l) in February (Aqueduct) in a maiden claimer; needs to be taken seriously.

Comment: Respectable fifth separating re-opposing rivals Tiverton and One For My Brother in a similar race 15 days ago on debut for this trainer in a claimer; notable jockey booking; he's an attractive contender as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and lots of promise in his latest performance.

Verdict: DAPPER MOON rates a strong recommendation. He can't be faulted for consistency and has proved he can get his head in front. Nicholai looks best of the rest.

U Devil You

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: John Ortiz Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 1-3

Nicholai

Verdict: MOUNTAIN BEAR has an obvious shout. He makes plenty of appeal on the strength of a good latest effort and put in a good effort to finish third in the Turf Mile Stakes. The Process, Aspenite and Santorini can't be ruled out either.

Liar's Poker

Jockey: Chase Miller Trainer: Genevieve Londono Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 90-66

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing sixth in February at Turfway Park in an allowance optional claimer; has managed four wins from ten career runs but a few throw outs since his success in an allowance optional claimer at Colonial Downs in August; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role given many of his rivals are in good form.

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 9/8-10 F: 186-29

Comment: Finished last of nine three weeks ago in a stakes; quality operator in his prime and has proven competitive in a race of this nature; he shouldn't be far away as has more than one win to his name and drop into claiming grade should help.

The Process

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Cherie Devaux Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 63134-

Comment: He meets the required standard ability wise; out of the frame (beaten 3½l in fourth) in a stakes (Belmont At The Big A) in October; returns from a break today; wears first-time blinkers; must go on the shortlist if duplicating the form of his most recent win and down in class to claiming company.

Mountain Bear

Jockey: Corey Lanerie Trainer: Wesley Ward Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 6233-

Comment: Nothing wrong with his effort when third, beaten just over 2l, in the Turf Mile Stakes at Keeneland in October; has earned plenty of prize money in Britain and Ireland, on target two from 12 starts; returns from a break here; the stable continues to be among winners recently; clear chance as recent effort was encouraging and best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively.

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: Eric Foster Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 41

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Unifying; wide-margin winner in a maiden claimer at Keeneland upped to 1m½f when registering her first success at the second time of asking four weeks ago; faces a tougher test as she steps out of maiden claiming company can be taken on.

Jockey: Edgar Morales Trainer: Brendan Walsh Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 5-921

Comment: Registered first success at the fourth time of asking at Fair Grounds in March in a maiden optional claimer; step up to allowance company will make life tougher so others more likely.

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Jr Richard Dutrow, Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 7-562

Comment: Has winning track form; fair effort when beaten 6l, finishing second of four over 6½f at Keeneland (claimer) 37 days ago; jockey booking is a positive; she has a shout if finding her best form.

Amadora's Empire

Jockey: Ben Curtis Trainer: Brendan Walsh Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 1-228

Comment: Eighth of 11 beaten 15l three months ago at Fair Grounds in an optional claimer; likely to go well despite having more on her plate and has proved she knows how to win.

Jockey: Rafael Bejarano Trainer: Rick Hiles Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 0-885

Comment: A previous winner here; problems at the start (bobbled) upped to 1m1f 14 days ago when beaten 15l in an allowance race; has been on the scene in the recent past and wouldn't rule out a big run.

Jockey: Brian Jr Hernandez Trainer: Kenneth McPeek Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 3-6914

Comment: Finished just behind Zaghruta when fourth 43 days ago (Keeneland) in a starter allowance; stepped up on her last two starts; should get involved if finding her best form.
