Verdict: SINCERITO is fancied for this. He finished ahead of Sidney's Bid and Brother Lad when last seen and his last run caught the eye.

Brother Lad

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Elliot Sullivan Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: -8664P

Comment: Pulled up when unfancied over 1m here (claimer) two weeks ago; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and capable of going well.

Jockey: Sara Hess Trainer: Johnathon Feron Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 743251

Comment: Problems at the start (bumped) when winning by a nose in a maiden claimer last month; tag drops from $12.5k to $7.5k here; is passed over despite that win at Delaware Park.

Jockey: Jorge Sanchez Gonzalez Trainer: Pedro Nazario Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 05663

Comment: Problems at the start (stumbled) two weeks ago when beaten 8l in third on his first start for this trainer in a claimer; sole victory becoming a distant memory and may not have any more improvement left; passed over.

Sidney's Bid

Jockey: Jose Vargas Trainer: Cesar Nambo Age/Wt: 6/7-12 F: 5-4227

Comment: You have to go back a fair way to find his only win and form could be levelling off; beaten 9l in seventh last month in a claimer; makes limited appeal as this could be a hot race.

Fake Celebrity

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Kathleen O'Connell Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 893567

Comment: Generally struggled with a record of 1-12; not disgraced when seventh (bumped at the start) ten days ago at Monmouth Park in a claimer; drops to a $7.5k tag; first attempt on dirt; has shown glimpses of ability recently and he should go close.

Global Phenom

Jockey: Samy Camacho Trainer: Renaldo Richards Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 56231

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; narrow scorer in a maiden claimer (bumped at the start) upped to 1m 11 days ago on his debut for new trainer, getting off the mark at the seventh attempt; shouldn't be too far away.

Sincerito

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Giovanni Salinas Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 359332

Comment: Went close when runner-up here over 1m (claimer) last month with two of these rivals behind; has been consistent of late; can make his presence felt as latest run was an encouraging one.

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Andrew Simoff Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 3-4

Comment: Not many miles on the clock; promoted from fifth to fourth here over 1m (claimer) last month; class dropper as runs for a $7.5k tag here; possibilities if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

Verdict: It is hard to get away from STUNTS. He represents a powerful stable. Tiz The Great and Hoppetosse should also be on the premises.

Babble

Jockey: Madeline Rowland Trainer: Nesvil Bailon Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: First competitive racecourse experience; sire a speed influence; trainer has a modest record with debutants; overlooked unless the market says otherwise.

Stunts

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Michael Stidham Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Has a nice pedigree (by Divining Rod); yard has enjoyed debutant winners at this course; he's a serious player with signs of encouragement in profile and the hot form of the trainer is a bonus.

Lundi Loot

Jockey: Jose Batista Trainer: Lynn Ashby Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Represents a stable with a strong record here with their newcomers; sibling of Finicky (5½f winner); workout history suggests fitness may not be an issue; ought to be considered.

Hoppetosse

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: John Robb Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 55

Comment: Beaten 9l (fifth) in a maiden special weight at Laurel Park four weeks ago; related to Stakes winner Justwaveandsmile; should be in the mix now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and he could step up.

El Papacito

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Somraj Singh Age/Wt: 2/8-0 F: 7

Comment: Some way behind the fifth, Hoppetosse, (at Laurel Park over this distance) at 14-1 last month; entitled to be better for that run; runs in claiming company for the first time.

Paynted Lion

Jockey: Jorge Sanchez Gonzalez Trainer: Nesvil Bailon Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Pedigree suggests he may improve with time; from the same family as Okletsgo, a winner over 1m; passed over unless attracting strong support with newcomers from this stable often needing the run.

Back Wall Bandit

Jockey: Alexander Crispin Trainer: John Robb Age/Wt: 2/8-4

Comment: Her trainer gets plenty of debutant winners; can make a bold bid.

Tiz The Great

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Anthony Pecoraro Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sibling of Greatbullsoffire (7f winner); plenty of trackwork in the book; sire is a rich source of two-year-old winners; deserves respect.

Verdict: KRONE can enhance her C&D record and could see the likely strong pace tee things up nicely for her. Princess Javoncia and Stella Mars should also be considered.

Cleopatra's Nile

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Kathleen O'Connell Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 11115

Comment: Has managed five wins from 16 career runs; not disgraced in fifth over 1m at Monmouth Park (allowance race) two months ago; she can make a bold bid as jockey does well from inner gates here.

Stella Mars

Comment: First success for some time over 1m at Laurel Park (optional claimer) on first run for current trainer three weeks ago; one-time useful performer; the stable continues to be among winners recently; her jockey has an impressive record from low numbers over this C&D so has a chance.

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts; second of six when sent off 9-1 at Laurel Park over 6f (claimer) five weeks ago; easy to see her making an impression if reproducing most recent effort and sights are lowered reflected by lower claiming tag.

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: Brett Brinkman Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6-720

Comment: Finished last of ten last month in an allowance optional claimer; has won previously at this course; form lately has been a mixed bag; moves down to an easier grade (in for $32k); unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Night Time Nap

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 4/8-11

Comment: Sire gets turf winners; from a yard whose debutants need a check in the betting; has claims.

Moral Distortion

Jockey: Carlos Lopez Trainer: Annette Eubanks Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 8-09

Comment: Yet to get off the mark in three attempts (eighth his best finish); couldn't land a blow when ninth of ten at Laurel Park over 1m (maiden claimer) last month on debut for this trainer; can be on the premises.

Storm Force

Jockey: Alexander Crispin Trainer: Kelly Rubley Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 635

Comment: Useful in this grade and has arguably shown improved form the last twice; not beaten that far in fifth (5l, Laurel Park) two weeks ago in a maiden claimer; should give it a bold bid as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and has shown some ability on occasion.

Just For The Money

Jockey: Carol Cedeno Trainer: Cesar Nambo Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 8-47145

Comment: Respectable effort here over 5½f (allowance optional claimer) last month; admirably consistent; this is competitive and hard to recommend.

Basic Truth

Jockey: Sara Fabbro Del Trainer: Rachael Keithan Age/Wt: 5/8-2 F: 6-7795

Comment: A while since his last success; comfortably beaten finishing fifth in an optional claimer when dropped to this distance 34 days ago; in for a $15k tag so down in class ($16k last time); step up to allowance company will make life tougher so not hard to look elsewhere.

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Suzanne Stettinius Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 2-622

Comment: Gave good account to finish runner-up at Laurel Park two weeks ago in an optional claimer; better than this level in his prime and has been fairly consistent this year; up in class but has a shout.

Verdict: SALAGADOOLA can enhance her C&D record and the likely strong pace up front is a plus. Carroll Girl looks the biggest threat.

Salagadoola

Jockey: Jose Vargas Trainer: Ramon Aguayo Age/Wt: 6/8-0 F: 419231

Comment: Unbeaten at this C&D after two runs; aiming for a third C&D win after her success here six weeks ago; warrants plenty of respect as her peak speed figure over the past year puts her clear.

Jockey: Carol Cedeno Trainer: Kelly Deiter Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 461133

Comment: Finished third, beaten 7l by Viking Queen last month in a claimer; on target twice in her last four outings; has won previously at this course; claiming tag now upped to $7.5k; passed over.

I'm Gittin There

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 71142

Comment: Successful twice in her last four starts; behind Viking Queen last month when just denied in a claimer; yard is ticking along nicely; one to consider as lower claiming tag suggests she may have less on her plate here.

Viking Queen

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: Renaldo Richards Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 43131

Comment: Narrow success in a claimer when I'm Gittin There and Miti Fast Flower were behind her last month; multiple course winner; should go well as recent win suggests she can handle the step up in class.

Jockey: Teresa Salazar Trainer: Arthur Agostini Age/Wt: 6/8-5 F: 42341

Comment: Narrow success in a claimer (bumped at the start) last month; Teresa Salazar a notable jockey booking; in for a $7.5k tag so up in class ($6.3k last time); others more appealing as concerns about her getting away on terms.

Jockey: Barrington Harvey Trainer: Jr James Nicholson, Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 64576

Comment: Six-time winner in her career (from 6f-1m½f) but possible that there's no more in the locker; finished last of six at Parx 51 days ago in a claimer; $7.5k claiming tag this time (up from $5k); hard to fancy given the strong opposition here.

Peace Fire

Jockey: Alexander Crispin Trainer: Michael Simone Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 448447

Comment: Held in seventh at Charles Town over 7f (claimer, sluggish at the start) last month; struggled a bit since winning a claimer at Charles Town in November and form could be levelling off; this looks a fair heat so one to tread carefully with.
