Verdict: It is hard to get away from UNCASHED. He is arguably the pick of these based on his recent success and is proven at the trip, while Sitka is another to consider.

Uncashed

Jockey: Walter Rodriguez Trainer: Larry Rivelli Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 121

Comment: From a respected yard and has managed eight wins from 16 career runs; won by just over 5l at Hawthorne over 5f (allowance optional claimer) 14 days ago; form of the trainer is a plus; clear chance.

Chryso Alogo

Jockey: Edgar Morales Trainer: Andrew Mckeever Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 2-3418

Comment: Not beaten too far when eighth here last month in a claimer; suited by this C&D; has been found wanting at this level before so hard to see him taking this.

Regal Rey

Jockey: Rafael Bejarano Trainer: Jerry Antonuik Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: -6462

Comment: Has achieved three wins from 13 career runs and has maintained his consistent level of form; went off 20-1 when good second (muddy track) two weeks ago in a claimer.

Miacomet

Jockey: Mario Gutierrez Trainer: Gustavo Esquivel Age/Wt: 7/8-6 F: -6033

Comment: Fair effort 21 days ago in a claimer; successful three times from 6½f to 1m½f; track has proven suitable before; others have more pressing claims as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

Billy The Greek

Jockey: Carlos Barbosa Trainer: Manuel Chavez Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 121-32

Comment: Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win) and normally pretty consistent; creditable effort to finish runner-up two months ago (sloppy track) back down to this trip behind Uncashed (Keeneland) in a claimer; by no means ruled out; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and he can handle the step up in class.

Comment: Has achieved six wins from 29 career runs; not beaten far when third at 22-1 with Sitka just behind last month (Oaklawn Park) in an allowance optional claimer; poor record second up off a break so is passed over.

Eliza Vance

Comment: From a top stable and related to Stakes winner Alpine Princess; won with plenty in hand at Hawthorne when opening her account at the fourth time of asking 35 days ago upped to this trip in a maiden special weight; first run in claiming company; trainer is ticking along nicely; should get involved.

Comment: Held in fourth at Oaklawn Park 53 days ago (muddy track) in an allowance race; has displayed improved form on last two starts; first attempt at a claimer; one to consider if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and she won a maiden special weight two runs back.

Comment: A while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023); comfortably beaten finishing runner-up (11l, sloppy track) upped to 1m three weeks ago in an allowance race; latest form figure is not as flattering as it may appear so looks an unlikely winner.
