Verdict: ROBIN'S TOUGH LOVE looks a solid choice. She has shown she can get her head in front and the likely strong pace up front is a plus. Loveumom is another to consider.

Robin's Tough Love

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 1247

Comment: Not had much racing - fifth outing here; unable to land a blow when seventh of eight on first outing for new trainer a week ago in an allowance race; the stable is going well; has to be feared as jockey does well from inner gates here and shown she can get her head in front.

Nothing But Time

Jockey: Kyle Gilbert Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 15567

Comment: Not always shown an awful lot since winning a maiden claimer at Mahoning Valley in February; disappointing to see her finish seventh four weeks ago given market expectations on debut outing for new trainer (bobbled at the start) in a claimer; makes limited appeal in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Comment: Split Knobiesmagicsonde and Coastalness when third two weeks ago (dropped back to 4½f, muddy track) in a claimer; has winning form at this track.

Degage

Jockey: Joam Toledo Trainer: Stephen Murtough Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 6137-

Comment: Out of the frame when seventh in a claimer (sloppy track) five months ago, behind Knobiesmagicsonde; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; returns from a layoff; this line-up contains some strong opposition so easy enough to take on.

Loveumom

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 2-455

Comment: Held when fifth of seven on debut outing for new trainer at Mahoning Valley last month in a claimer; has to be taken seriously as shown she can get her head in front and sights are lowered reflected by lower claiming tag.

Coastalness

Jockey: Edgar Paucar Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 16-28

Comment: Lightly raced (this just her fifth race); behind Knobiesmagicsonde and Honour's Choice (runner-up and third) here in a claimer (muddy track) when last of eight 13 days ago; shown she can win fairly recently and not ruled out.

Tom And Jazzy

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 451

Comment: Won by just over 5l 20 days ago (sloppy track) on debut outing for new trainer in a claimer; he shouldn't be far away as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and the lower claiming tag shouldn't put you off.

Comment: Wasn't at his best last time out following some good runs; brings winning C&D form to the table; beaten 15l in a claimer (muddy track) 13 days ago; this is competitive and others make more appeal.

Bourbon's Hope

Comment: Last of ten at Charles Town on debut outing for new trainer four weeks ago in a claimer; largely been out of sorts and a while since his last success; eased in class with tag standing at $4k here; easy enough to take on as now looks to be past his prime.

Alabama Slammer

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 1477-2

Comment: A respectable runner-up of five in a claimer when back to this trip last month on debut for this trainer; impressive record of three wins from seven runs here; now a lower claiming tag ($4k from $6.5k) so down in class; the trainer continues to be among winners recently; should not be far away as should be sharper for his recent return to action.

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Jami Poole Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 76332

Comment: Went down by just under 5l when runner-up in a claimer (muddy track) 13 days ago; season-ticket holder here with three wins but could be at the extent of his ability; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as not in the habit of winning recently.

Comment: Has achieved four wins from 18 career runs; not disgraced in seventh (Charles Town) six months ago in a claimer; returns from an absence here; can figure as lower claiming tag should make this easier and boasts the best speed figure posted by any of this field in the last 12 months.

Comment: Ran well to finish second (beaten just under 5l) in a claimer (sloppy track) last month; successful twice in his last three starts; a previous winner here; calmer waters here (in for $4k, $5k tag last time); his best looks to be behind him and others are preferred.

Comment: Finished last of seven dropped back in distance last month on her debut for this trainer in a claimer; wasn't at her best last time out following some good runs and winner of seven starts (range of trips from 5f to 1m); moves down to an easier grade (in for $4k); the trainer continues to be among winners recently; ought to give it a shot.

Mercury Head

Comment: Loves this track (four course wins) and better than this level in her prime; easy winner (6l) here over 4½f (allowance optional claimer) last month; very possible she will be sharper for most recent start so can make a bold bid.

Friendly Lucy

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: J Baird Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 712-5

Comment: This is her level; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 9l) last month on first run for her current trainer in an allowance race; has strong claims as shown she can get her head in front.

S S Cosmopolitan

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Miguel Jimenez Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 3333-

Comment: Not beaten that far in third (6l) in an allowance race (sloppy track) five months ago; returns from a layoff here; could be dangerous.

My Lucky Deia

Jockey: Edgar Paucar Trainer: J Baird Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 3451-7

Comment: Last of seven over 4½f here (allowance race) when she was behind several of these rivals last month; this is her level; should be thereabouts if excused most recent run as achieved allowance race success two runs back and shown she can win fairly recently.

Shotgun Margaret

Jockey: Jason Simpson Trainer: Gregory Viands Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 35664-

Comment: Posted respectable effort when beaten 5½l in an allowance optional claimer six months ago; slumped a bit since winning a maiden special weight at Mountaineer Park last June; returns from an absence here; this line-up contains some strong opposition so looks risky.

Portia's Hope

Jockey: Luciano Hernandez Trainer: Geoffrey Dixon Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 451-6

Comment: Split a number of these rivals when dropped down to 4½f last month in an allowance race; this looks a fair heat so not hard to look elsewhere.

Verdict: O SHAUGHESEY is a confident pick. She will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast. Maureenlovesfrank and Seems To Whisper could also have a role to play.

Thunder Boss

Jockey: Charle Oliveros Trainer: Konstantin Harigeorgiou Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 7-8566

Comment: A while since her last success and largely not been running well; fair effort when beaten 6l, finishing sixth of seven last month in a claimer; may have to settle for supporting role given this looks a decent race.

Secret Seduction

Jockey: Yuri Yaranga Trainer: Shane Spiess Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 72446

Comment: Quite a while since she tasted success and form could be levelling off; far from disgraced (beaten 4l) in a claimer last month at Mahoning Valley when just behind Act Like A Lady; a lot on her plate here and can be taken on.

I Matter

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: William Howard Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 4333-

Comment: Recent efforts have generally been solid; form could be levelling off; finished third but wasn't beaten too far (6l) here over 1m (claimer) six months ago; returns from a break today; she can be taken on.

O Shaughesey

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Julie Stansbury Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 453-34

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth of seven (Charles Town) four weeks ago in a claimer; holds leading claims as lower claiming tag should make this easier and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Act Like A Lady

Jockey: Rocco Bowen Trainer: Chad Skelton Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 2-263

Comment: Specialist here with three wins and produced a string of consistent efforts; turned in a solid effort in defeat 37 days ago, when third at Mahoning Valley in a claimer; assuming she steps up from most recent effort then easy to see her making an impression.

Uncaptured Faith

Jockey: Jairo Hernandez Trainer: William McDonald Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 6455-

Comment: Creditable fifth, beaten just under 4l, of nine in a claimer (dropped to this trip) in October; may have reached limits of her ability and doesn't win often; returns from a layoff here; a few rivals look in good form so can be taken on.

Jockey: Maikol Vilchez Trainer: Robert Scallan Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 236-22

Maureenlovesfrank

Jockey: Agustin Bracho Trainer: Jami Poole Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 8-44

Comment: Has won 11 races from 6f to 1m½f and better than this level in her prime; not beaten too far when fourth of six in a claimer a week ago; looks likely to be involved as lower claiming tag suggests she may have less on her plate here and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Tested Positive

Jockey: Renzo Diaz Trainer: Javier Morzan Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 67785

Comment: Possible that there's no more in the locker and a while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023); last of five in a claimer a week ago upped to 1m; probably unlikely to trouble the principals given lifeless performances of late.
