Verdict: CHROMED IMPULSE is a strong fancy. He has proved consistent of late and is a two-time course winner, while also of interest is Silver Style.

Norfie

Jockey: Jose Batista Trainer: Renaldo Richards Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 818765

Comment: A winner over C&D; subpar since successful in a claimer at Tampa Bay Downs three months ago; was held in fifth 17 days ago in a claimer; others more appealing.

Chromed Impulse

Jockey: Melissa Iorio Trainer: Steven Cahill Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 15-722

Comment: Can boast winning form over this C&D; consistent lately; beaten narrowly in a claimer (bumped at the start) last month on debut for this trainer; he's worth a go as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag.

Jockey: Pedro Jr Cotto Trainer: Chelsey Moysey Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 18-468

Comment: Last of eight over 1m½f here (claimer) two months ago; has won at this course; has struggled to factor since winning a claimer at Tampa Bay Downs four months ago; class dropper as runs for a $5k tag here; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and is passed over.

Verdict: NELSON GATE is a debutant representing a strong yard and could see the likely strong pace tee things up nicely for him. Twelve Treasures and Iron Edge also merit consideration.

David H

Jockey: Marcos Meneses Trainer: Cathy Rountree Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 5-8

Comment: Behind Twelve Treasures in a maiden special weight when beaten 14l last month; this is a step down in class but only limited appeal.

Venezuelan Hope

Jockey: Jose Batista Trainer: Victor Barboza Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 44-65

Comment: Not disgraced in fifth at Gulfstream Park 21 days ago in a maiden special weight; attempting to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking (fourth his best finish so far); likely player if replicating best previous efforts.

Iron Edge

Jockey: Jose Ferrer Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 0

Comment: Could not finish better than 11th on his debut (in blinkers) at Gulfstream Park at 25-1 last month; related to Stakes winner Tahoe Sunrise and hails from a good trainer; can give it a good shot as he drops into a maiden claimer for the first time and the penny could well drop today.

Twelve Treasures

Jockey: Samy Camacho Trainer: Eoin Harty Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 386

Comment: Comfortably beaten into sixth in a maiden special weight with blinkers added last month; looks the part on breeding (by Candy Ride); definitely of interest despite defeat last time as ran well at Tampa Bay Downs three runs back and is now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer.

Nelson Gate

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Christophe Clement Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: The only newcomer in the field; sire does get winners on the turf; course debutants for this stable have to be taken seriously; related to Sheriff Bianco (winner from 5½f up to 7f); plenty of appeal with signs of encouragement in profile.

My Pal Max

Jockey: Cesar Gonzalez Trainer: Derek Ryan Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 72

Comment: Sire gets turf winners; finished runner-up two weeks ago albeit only beaten 3l in a maiden claimer; claiming value now rises to $32k.

Jockey: Alexandra Sherman Trainer: William March Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 2/4

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 9l in fourth) on first run for this trainer last month when he had a couple of these behind in a maiden claimer; winless in three starts but has shown promise with second his top showing; claiming tag rises from $8k last time; first attempt on dirt; others more appealing.

Muchomachomac

Jockey: Jose Ferrer Trainer: Donna Kutt Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 3-4655

Comment: A poor result at a short price when fifth over 1m½f here (maiden claimer) 15 days ago; class dropper as runs for a $10k tag here; should be on the premises as this doesn't look like the strongest maiden claimer and he has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Comment: Finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (8l) here over 6f (allowance optional claimer) four weeks ago; just his fourth outing so still early days; Mendelssohn gets turf winners; claiming tag drops from $75k; capable if in the mood so not without hope.

Jockey: Cesar Gonzalez Trainer: Derek Ryan Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 57-46

Comment: Finished just behind Halon when sixth four weeks ago in a claimer; slumped a bit since winning a maiden special weight at Monmouth Park in July; up in class (in for $25k here, $16k tag last time); probably unlikely to trouble the principals as this could be a hot race.

Halon

Jockey: Willie Martinez Trainer: Ron Potts Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 076-4

Comment: Wasn't beaten that far when fourth (beaten 2½l) on debut for new trainer last month in a claimer; generally struggled with a record of 1-13; higher claiming tag here so up in class; meeting some horses in good form and passed over.

Verdict: OVER THE MARK is hard to look beyond. He made an encouraging debut and claimed the runners-up spot on his initial start, while X Y Prime, Mad House and Persisten also have claims.

Mad House

Jockey: Jose Ferrer Trainer: David Vanwinkle Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 234

Comment: Beaten 14l in fourth 27 days ago in a stakes; three-race maiden though does have a second place to his name; one to note as pleasing in workout eight days ago and lower class is a plus.

Verdict: E M'S TREASUREGIRL is a strong pick. She might find the race opens up for her with the likelihood of plenty of competition for the lead and her last run caught the eye, while Tiki Bar and Girly The Butcher must be respected.

Once An Eagle

Jockey: Gabriel Maldonado Trainer: E Hernandez Age/Wt: 4/8-4 F: 55-158

Comment: Record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-14); unable to land a blow when eighth of nine a week ago on debut for this handler in a claimer; this line-up contains some strong opposition so has questions to answer.

Jockey: Daniel Centeno Trainer: John Rigattieri Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 9-45761

Comment: Out of the frame when seventh here over 1m (claimer) five weeks ago; successful five times from 5½f to 1m½f; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $10k); looks likely to be involved if replicating best previous efforts and boasts the best speed figure posted by any of this field in the last 12 months.

Comment: Admirable career strike-rate (three from 11 to date) and on a hat-trick after last win; won by just over 4l ten days ago in a claimer; now moved up in the grades (in for $10k); despite that Tampa Bay Downs success, is passed over.
