Jockey: Marshall Mendez Trainer: John Shuler Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 837-7

5/2

Comment: Came home seventh, beaten 10l, in a claimer last month; he has a shout as finished third at Mountaineer Park three runs ago and should be sharper for his recent return to action.

Comment: Held when sixth of seven (muddy track) at Mahoning Valley four months ago in a claimer; one-time useful operator and has won eight times from 6f up to 1m1f; layoff to overcome; can figure as lower claiming tag should make this easier and he finished third two runs ago.

7/2

Comment: Beaten 13l in sixth in an allowance race on his debut for new trainer nine days ago; has kicked on in his last couple of races; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; poses a threat if excused most recent run as achieved maiden special weight success two runs back and shown he can win fairly recently.

Comment: Encouraging effort when runner-up in a claimer 30 days ago on debut for this trainer; his best looks to be behind him and others more appealing.
