Verdict: SHARPAZ rates a strong recommendation. He is likely to run his race and has won over this C&D, while Hay Hay Harry rates the main danger.

Fighter Kite

Jockey: Carlos Camilo Trainer: Jose Rohena Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 1115-

Comment: A five-time course winner; finished just behind G Munning when fifth here over 6f (allowance race) in November; has had some time off; a few rivals look in good form so makes little appeal.

Hay Hay Harry

Verdict: IMPERMANENCE is hard to look beyond. She looks best placed to take advantage if the front-runners go too fast and was not helped by trouble in running last time.

Impermanence

Jockey: Joel Cruz Trainer: Debra Breed Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 92-2

Comment: Had three of these rivals behind her 13 days ago (muddy track) when close second in a claimer; can make her presence felt if building on last performance and best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively.

Jockey: Christian Navarro Trainer: Katlynn Gutterson Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 1-4674

Comment: Not beaten too far when fourth here in a claimer when dropped back to 4½f on debut for this trainer (muddy track) splitting Impermanence, Journey Of Five and Joyful Departure two weeks ago; not had much racing for her age but generally modest form since maiden claimer success at Penn National in November; in for the same $5k tag.

Sol Emperatriz

Jockey: Michael Jr Davila Trainer: James Acquilano Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 9333-

Comment: Just the one win to her name; left punters frustrated after going off favourite when third here over 5½f (claimer) in front of Joyful Departure in November; has had some time off; others appeal more as not in the habit of winning recently.

Journey Of Five

Jockey: John Berrios Trainer: Nirka Huertas Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 225-5

Comment: You have to go back a fair way to find her only win; not beaten too far when fifth here two weeks ago (muddy track) when separating a number of reopposing rivals in a claimer; this line-up contains some strong opposition so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Comment: Mostly consistent recently; missed out by a nose; closely matched with Stjames on that running two weeks ago (muddy track) in an allowance race; can make a decent bid as return to this trip should be in favour and the flying form of the trainer is an obvious plus.

Comment: Not disgraced when third of seven last month (bumped at the start) on first outing for new trainer in a maiden special weight; best form so far in last two starts and shown enough to think she could win a race; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; needs to be taken seriously.

A Maize Zing Dotie

Jockey: Andre Worrie Trainer: Chris Englehart Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 6-8456

Comment: Not always shown an awful lot since winning an allowance race at Belmont At The Big A in September; boasts winning form over C&D; behind Sandy's Garden when finishing last at Belmont At The Big A two weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer.

Eros's Girl

Jockey: Sofia Vives Trainer: M Ferraro Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: -721

Comment: Narrow winner of a claimer (sloppy track) 14 days ago; useful in her prime and winner of seven races at this venue; one to consider as recent win points to her being able to handle class rise and the flying form of the stable is an obvious plus.
