Verdict: WHAT A DUDE looks a solid choice. He has plenty of winning form at this distance and the likely strong pace up front is a plus, while Enos Slaughter and Surprsinglyperfect can give the selection something to think about.

Surprsinglyperfect

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Justin Evans Age/Wt: 11/8-13 F: 6-12121

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; from a top trainer; scored narrowly in an optional claimer at Turf Paradise three weeks ago; has to be taken seriously.

Enos Slaughter

Comment: A winner six times from 35 runs (5½f-1m½f); fourth, not beaten that far (40-1) in February at Santa Anita in an optional claimer; this looks a decent race so there are better alternatives here.

Comment: Beaten 15l when sixth of eight in a claimer last week upped to 1m; a few throw outs since her success in an optional claimer at Golden Gate Fields last June and possible that there's no more in the locker; hard enough to fancy as now looks to be past her prime.

Verdict: EMPIRE WARRIOR looks set for a big run. He is fancied to reverse the placings with Thatwouldbewrong from their last meeting.

Sawyer's Speed

Jockey: Silvio Amador Trainer: Jose Aguila Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 33-8

Comment: Three-race maiden but has managed to finish third; was tailed off at Santa Anita over 6½f (maiden claimer) two months ago; claiming tag rises to $25k here; is passed over.

Just Gotta Shine

Jockey: Javier Matias Trainer: Debbie Van Horne Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 5-6787

Comment: Seventh beaten 9l in March at Turf Paradise upped to 1m in a maiden optional claimer; still looking to open his account after five runs; hard enough to fancy.

Empire Warrior

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Scott Tubbs Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 383338

Comment: Could not manage better than eighth in a maiden optional claimer at Turf Paradise (behind Thatwouldbewrong) last month; should be involved.

Rock N Tiger

Jockey: Juan Gutierrez Trainer: Blaine Wright Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Course debutants for this trainer should be taken seriously; related to Milords Oathkeeper (winner from 5f up to 1m); poses a threat with signs of encouragement in profile - form of his stable is an obvious plus.

Locallyworldfamous

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Tim McCanna Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 95-

Comment: Beaten 3l in September when sent off 11-1 in a maiden special weight; returns from a layoff here; now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time so looks a contender.

Calmcoolncollected

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Steve Bullock Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 73-4

Comment: Respectable effort (beaten just under 3l) in a maiden claimer (not far behind Adios Jojo) 15 days ago; some promise; closest he has come to winning after three starts was a third.

Chelan Summer

Jockey: Francisco Duran Trainer: David Martinez Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Related to 5f winner Fly Patti Fly; encouragement to be taken from his workouts; has a chance.

Thatwouldbewrong

Jockey: Isaias Enriquez Trainer: Frank Lucarelli Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 5

Comment: Not beaten too far (7l) on his debut at Turf Paradise at 11-1 five weeks ago; needs considering as shown signs of ability in his exercise and the penny could well drop today.

Get Down

Jockey: Carlos Montalvo Trainer: Ryland Harwood Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 3-

Comment: Fair debut effort at Grants Pass over this trip at 5-1 in October; related to Stakes winner Tappin The Keg; claiming debut; returns from a break here; should be more streetwise; in with a chance.
