Hold Dem

Jockey: Jason Simpson Trainer: Joseph Pyke Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 9446

Comment: Yet to open her account after 17 starts; behind Emily Katherine in a maiden claimer last month at Charles Town when beaten 24l (sixth of seven) upped to 7f; very difficult to fancy.

Lastshotatlightnin

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: J Baird Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 34-777

Comment: Finished last of seven in a maiden special weight last month; not the most consistent of horses lately and yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at nine; a lot on her plate.

Spuns Kitten

She's All About It

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 222-35

Comment: Unable to land a blow when fifth of seven 28 days ago in a maiden special weight; stepped up on her last two starts and possible blip last time out as had been running well previously; need to draw a line through her last run, but was third two starts back; looks interesting.

Emily Katherine

Jockey: Luis Tapara Trainer: J Baird Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 456743

Comment: Disappointing to see her finish third last month given market expectations at Charles Town just ahead of Hold Dem in a maiden claimer; has taken a step forward the last twice; should be on the premises.

Supermodel

Jockey: Kyle Gilbert Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 5466

Comment: Beaten 17l in sixth over 6f here (maiden special weight) on first run for current trainer when splitting two of these rivals nine days ago; yet to manage better than fourth in her five races; others more likely.

Akamai

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 427

Comment: Hasn't won for a while and may not have any more improvement left; finished seventh, beaten a fair way in a claimer last month (Presque Isle Downs) upped to 1m½f; deeper waters here (in for $12.5k here, $5k tag last time); others more persuasive as now looks to be past his prime.

Opry

Jockey: Ricardo Barrios Trainer: Burton Sipp Age/Wt: 9/8-8 F: 6-7

Comment: Was held in eighth here over 7f (claimer) 36 days ago on debut for this trainer; remains lightly raced; claiming value now drops to $12.5k; has to be taken seriously if replicating best previous efforts.

Daniel Sun

Jockey: Limber Flores Taboada Trainer: Neil Morris Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 11235-

Comment: No impression when fifth of ten in November (Gulfstream Park) in a claimer; can be a player at this level and better than this level in his prime; returns from a break today; should not be far away as has wins in his back catalogue and he has won after a layoff previously.

Devil Vision

Jockey: Brandon Tapara Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 1-3645

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 15l into fifth) in a claimer (sloppy track) three weeks ago; excellent in his prime and wins-runs record of 10-44; moves down to an easier grade (in for $4k); has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so needs to be respected.

Comment: Last of seven in a claimer (sloppy track) last month behind two of these on debut for this trainer; eight wins to his name - from 6f to 1m½f but possible that there's no more in the locker; now down in class (in for $4k from $6.5k); his best looks to be behind him and others appeal more.

Comment: Finished last of seven in a claimer at Thistledown 34 days ago; smart performer at one stage and this is his level; capable if in the mood so must be in the mix.

Jockey: Kyle Gilbert Trainer: Julia Gilbert Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 52765

Comment: Infrequent winner; unable to land a blow in fifth in a claimer back down to this trip on first outing for new trainer a week ago; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; likely to be involved as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals and has shown some ability on occasion.

Comment: A winner over this C&D; unable to land a blow in fourth in a claimer when dropped in distance a week ago; claiming tag drops from $12.5k; ought to give it a shot as would have leading chance if back in the same form he showed when winning two starts ago.

Mass Appeal

Jockey: Charle Oliveros Trainer: L Cox Age/Wt: 9/8-11 F: -3401

Comment: Scored by a slim margin in a claimer last month; has chalked up two wins from his last six; makes limited appeal despite that win at Mountaineer Park.

Dyrdek

Jockey: Agustin Bracho Trainer: Jami Poole Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 87154

Comment: Unable to land a blow in fourth upped to 1m 49 days ago in a claimer; now down in class (in for $4k from $5k); concern he might not be fully tuned up so looks opposable.

Jockey: Bailey Weatherly Trainer: Claudie Godsey Age/Wt: 9/8-8 F: 43-21

Comment: Scored by 2½l in a claimer on first run for his current trainer five weeks ago; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 15-69); holds major claims.

Red Hurricane

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 2-143

Comment: Season-ticket holder here with three wins and normally pretty consistent; ran a bit below expectations (sent off 5-4) when third here over 6f (claimer) 15 days ago; likely to be thereabouts.
