Comment: Good effort when close up at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m½f (maiden claimer) last month; shown recent signs of improvement; a leading contender if confirming promise shown last time.

Comment: Improved form the last twice; encouraging effort when second over 6f here (maiden claimer) 13 days ago; $16k claiming tag this time (up from $10k); warrants consideration as recent performance was encouraging.

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; held when seventh beaten 34l 13 days ago in a maiden claimer; drops to a $16k tag; he's worth a go despite defeat last time as was second two runs back.

Comment: Respectable effort (beaten 2l, had Boca Guy and Knox behind) two weeks ago in a claimer; an infrequent winner; calmer waters here (in for $5k, $6.5k tag last time); a likely player as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively and his latest effort was promising.

Comment: Likes this combination of C&D; was held in fourth in an allowance optional claimer 21 days ago on debut for this trainer; big chance as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Jerry's Turn

Jockey: Axel Concepcion Trainer: Timothy Hills Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 5284

14/1

Comment: Solid effort over 1m½f at Gulfstream Park (claimer) 37 days ago; possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability and infrequent winner; $16k claiming tag this time (up from $12.5k); difficult to build a solid case for him as hits the crossbar all too often.

Captain Quick

Jockey: Jeiron Barbosa Trainer: Joan Milne Age/Wt: 7/8-4 F: 57914-

16/1

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; far from disgraced (beaten 2l) in a claimer (Meadowlands, bobbled at the start) in October; now eased in the grades (in for $16k); returns from a layoff here; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as now looks to be past his prime.

Rennie

Jockey: Jadiel Zambrana Trainer: Jonathanie Badillo Age/Wt: 6/8-2 F: 787776

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten just under 5l in sixth) over 5f at Pimlico (allowance race) 21 days ago; largely found things tough going of late but has proven competitive in a race of this nature; needs considering as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field and didn't have the best of luck last time.

Heavy Timber

Jockey: Anthony Salgado Trainer: Richard Vega Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 4-600

Comment: 11th of 12 two months ago at Parx in a claimer; one win to his name was achieved a fair way back; deeper waters here (in for $16k here, $7.5k tag last time); he looks up against it.

Comment: A winner over C&D; not disgraced when third of seven in a claimer 20 days ago; calmer waters here (in for $16k, $30k tag last time); can make his presence felt.

15/8

Comment: Beaten 6l into sixth dropped down to 5½f three weeks ago in a claimer; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; can be in the mix as finished third last month and sights are lowered reflected by lower claiming tag.

Tapizar's Temper

10/1

Comment: Recorded a comfortable success, breaking his duck at the seventh time of asking at Turfway Park when dropped down to this trip three months ago in a maiden claimer; claiming value now rises to $16k; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as he faces a tougher test stepping up from maiden claiming company.

Comment: Respectable effort finishing seventh (beaten just under 5l) when dropped back to this trip three weeks ago in a claimer; has a record of 1-21; up in class (in for $14k); uphill struggle as a few rivals look in good form.

My Kid Syd

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Dan Ward Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 7-7371

Comment: Has found improvement of late; won a maiden claimer by 3½l at Oaklawn Park four weeks ago, getting off the mark at the eighth attempt; could go close as despite being up in class he appears to be in good form.

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Wayne Potts Age/Wt: 4/8-4 F: 46424

Comment: Fourth but only beaten just under 2l in a claimer (Belmont At The Big A) last week; grade looks suitable; definitely of interest as lower claiming tag should make this easier and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Comment: Has kicked on in his last couple of races; off the mark at the fifth time of asking when in front by just over 2l last month at Tampa Bay Downs in a maiden claimer; stepping out of a maiden claimer and this looks tougher so passed over.
