Verdict: MAP TO THE MOON could be the main beneficiary if the front runners go too fast. Ruby River, Padrino's Gold and Hold On can't be ruled out either.

Best Worst Idea

Jockey: Alexander Crispin Trainer: Jose Ramirez Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 65-47

Comment: Beaten 4½l last month when sent off 18-1 splitting Ruby River, Hold On and Bella Creed in a maiden claimer; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 27 and may not have any more improvement left; claiming tag drops to $5k (from $12.5k).

Ruby River

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: Giovanni Salinas Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 760327

Comment: No impression when seventh of ten last Friday in a maiden claimer; has shown some recent improvement; eased in class with tag standing at $7.5k here; second, albeit some way off the winner, two starts back and has a decent shout.

Electrica

Jockey: Jose Vargas Trainer: Pedro Posadas Age/Wt: 3/7-11 F: 0862

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; promoted from third to second last month in a maiden claimer; likely to be a threat.

Padrino's Gold

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Elliot Sullivan Age/Wt: 3/8-0 F: 647

Comment: Yet to get off the mark in three attempts (fourth her best finish); finished tailed off in a maiden claimer (soft) two weeks ago; moves down to an easier grade (in for $7.5k); rates a likely contender.

Jockey: Sara Fabbro Del Trainer: Keri Brion Age/Wt: 3/8-0 F: 64-04

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten just over 3l) in a maiden claimer dropped down to this trip when separating a number of reopposing rivals last month; now down in class (in for $7.5k from $12.5k); recent effort was creditable so should not be far away.

Lemoning

Jockey: Jorge Sanchez Gonzalez Trainer: Pedro Nazario Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 709

Comment: Last of nine three weeks ago when behind four of these rivals (dropped back to this distance) in a maiden claimer; best she's managed so far is seventh from three career starts; claiming tag drops from $12.5k; latest efforts leave a lot to be desired so not taken to make a serious impact.

Comment: Split a number of these rivals in a maiden claimer when beaten 6l in eighth 21 days ago; yet to open her account after ten starts; class dropper as runs for a $5k tag here; may have to settle for supporting role.

Norho's Gamble

Jockey: Franklin Jr Gonzalez Trainer: Carl Jones Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 356525

Comment: Last of five in a maiden claimer at Parx 45 days ago; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs but still winless and defeats stacking up (23 on the bounce); class dropper as runs for a $7.5k tag here; others more likely.

Map To The Moon

Jockey: Andres Chavez Trainer: Jose Corrales Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 59433

Comment: 11l third over 5½f at Laurel Park (maiden claimer, bumped at the start) last month; moves down to an easier grade (in for $7.5k); she's a serious player.

Concrete Faze

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 131112

Comment: Has won here before; on target four times in her last six outings; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Laurel Park (beaten 6l) three weeks ago in an allowance race; the stable has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; should have every chance.

Lovely Charm

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Claudio Gonzalez Age/Wt: 4/8-1 F: 34534

Comment: Fair effort when 4½l fourth to Ginger Girl at Laurel Park over 7f (allowance optional claimer) 28 days ago; admirably consistent and successful four times from 6f to 1m½f; others have more pressing claims given many of her rivals are in good form.

Dixie Groove

Jockey: Eliseo Ruiz Trainer: Jack Abrams Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 131322

Comment: Has three wins to her name this year and normally pretty consistent; finishing second was a good effort in an optional claimer at Monmouth Park last month; good record with Eliseo Ruiz, who is restored to the saddle here; rates a likely contender.

Comment: Narrow success in an allowance optional claimer (Laurel Park) when beating Lovely Charm (fourth) and Haint Blue (last) four weeks ago; goes for a hat-trick today and wins-runs record of 9-30; has to be taken seriously.

Haint Blue

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: Hamilton Smith Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 155-7

Comment: This C&D holds no fears; finished last of seven in an allowance optional claimer at Laurel Park last month; in for a $20k tag so down in class ($40k last time); not a betting proposition.

Judith's Cross

Ritz On Broadway

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Greg Compton Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 2565-

Comment: Sole victory becoming a distant memory; not disgraced in fifth here over 6f (claimer) in September; up in class (in for $7.5k here, $6.3k tag last time); returns from an absence here; easy to see her making an impression as could be suited by this step up in trip and she has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Comment: Related to Warrior's Vendetta, winning form over 7f-1m½f; recent workouts point to readiness; trainer is operating at a respectable strike-rate; question mark over whether she will need the experience but any market positivity should be noted.

Dale's Bluff

Jockey: Alexander Crispin Trainer: Phillip Capuano Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Shares a dam with Whatsyourbigidea, a 5½f winner; busy trackwork profile suggests no fitness issue; has possibilities with signs of encouragement in profile and her sire suggests the distance might suit.

Mom Esterina

Jockey: Sara Hess Trainer: Kelly Deiter Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Politely Crowned (5½f-1m½f); yard not renowned for getting debutant winners; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise.

Knock Knock

Jockey: Carol Cedeno Trainer: Michael Stidham Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire's stock can be smart performers; Michael Stidham team does well at Delaware Park with debutants; needs to be respected with signs of encouragement in profile - form of her trainer is an obvious plus.

Hugs For Aries

Jockey: Eliseo Ruiz Trainer: Andrew Simoff Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire gets turf winners; trackwork in the book allays fitness concerns; may be involved.

Autonome

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: H Motion Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to 1m winner Delayed; yard gets plenty of debutant winners; sire gets turf winners; a big player with signs of encouragement in profile - form of her trainer is an obvious plus.

Louezza

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Edward Allard Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 5

Comment: Held on her debut over 5½f at Belmont At The Big A at 5-1 last month; should be better for that run.

Comment: Shares a dam with Kobe Tough, a 6f winner; trainer not renowned for sending out winning newcomers; requires market confidence to make her of interest.

Jockey: Tais Lyapustina Trainer: Joanne Shankle Age/Wt: 2/8-7

My Man Woody

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Kelly Deiter Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 132522

Comment: Went down by a nose last Friday in a claimer; has been fairly consistent this year; claiming value rises from $6.3k last time; is a player as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Charles Town (beaten 7l) in a claimer last week; does not win very often and perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling; tag has been raised to $10k; his claims aren't overly compelling.

Comment: Tailed off on debut in Gulfstream Park maiden optional claimer over 1m½f at 22-1 last April; long absence to overcome; greatly reduced claiming tag sends alarm bells ringing so will need to progress to get off the mark.

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten 4l) in an optional claimer a week ago; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a sixth career win) but not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Penn National in January; a few rivals look in good form so hard to make a case.

He's In Charge

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 7/8-13 F: 11111

Comment: Narrow winner of an optional claimer last month; a C&D winner; extended his winning streak on latest start; the Jamie Ness outfit is running hot currently; a leading player.

Remembering Wilbur

Jockey: Carol Cedeno Trainer: Kelly Deiter Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: -221

Comment: C&D has proven suitable before; narrow winner of an optional claimer (sloppy track) 45 days ago; could be in the mix.

Verdict: OURNATIONONPARADE boasts a good career strike-rate and the abundance of pace up front enhances his claims. Afraidofthebunny and Sir Exton are among the dangers.

In The Dance

Jockey: Jose Batista Trainer: Lynn Ashby Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 65257

Comment: Has proven competitive in a race of this nature; a course winner; was held in seventh 16 days ago in an optional claimer.

Sagrada Ray

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Kieron Magee Age/Wt: 6/8-1 F: -3296

Comment: Last of six at Laurel Park (bobbled at the start) last month in an allowance optional claimer; tag has been dropped to $20k; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Ournationonparade

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 6-5

Comment: Finished last of five last month in an allowance optional claimer; cut above this level at his peak and has achieved ten wins from 40 career runs; claiming value now drops to $20k; big chance.

Sir Exton

Jockey: Carol Cedeno Trainer: Michael Stidham Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 4-62111

Comment: Looking to land a four-timer and proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fourth win); narrow scorer in an optional claimer (muddy track, bumped at the start) six weeks ago; one to note.

Afraidofthebunny

Jockey: Yabriel Ramos Trainer: Bruce Kravets Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 131554

Comment: Not beaten too far when fourth of eight in an optional claimer last month; has got his head in front multiple times this year; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; competes from same tag here ($20k).
