4/6

Comment: Gave it a good shot when a close third (sloppy track) three weeks ago (Penn National) in a claimer; boasts winning form over C&D; is respected as jockey does well from inside draws here and shown he can win fairly recently.

Comment: A winner over this C&D; this is his grade; last of eight in a claimer (sluggish at the start, Laurel Park) last month; claiming tag drops to $5k (from $7.5k); only ride on the card for Cesar Gonzalez; has a reasonable shout as finished third in February.

Comment: Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; this is his level; out of the frame (beaten just over 4l in fifth, Pimlico) 18 days ago in a claimer; shown he can get his head in front so ought to be considered.

Comment: Fifth beaten 15l at Penn National two weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; performed at a higher level than this in his peak and has managed 22 wins from 67 career runs; tag drops from $25k to $12.5k here; winner two starts ago and is of some interest.

4/7

Comment: Narrow winner of an optional claimer at Laurel Park two months ago; resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a 12th career win) and performed at a higher level than this in her peak; the Jamie Ness outfit is running hot currently; warrants respect as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.
