Verdict: ATLAS FALLS has to be the first name on the shortlist. In Effect and Lord Donegal could also have a say.

Lord Donegal

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Neil Morris Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 22-

Comment: Runner-up here when 8-13 in an allowance race in September; returns from a layoff here; he shouldn't be far away if confirming promise shown last time.

Financial Whiz

Jockey: Yuri Yaranga Trainer: Claudie Godsey Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 2-07631

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; snapped losing run 21 days ago in a maiden special weight (sloppy track) when winning with a bit in hand upped to 1m; despite that Mountaineer Park success, not easy to fancy.

Atlas Falls

Jockey: Charle Oliveros Trainer: Eric Reed Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 22-1

Comment: Came out on top by 2½l in a maiden special weight (Belterra Park, dropped back to 6f), getting off the mark at the seventh attempt last month; has taken a step forward the last twice; has strong claims.

Aloha Man

Jockey: Jason Simpson Trainer: Crystal Pickett Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 6480-7

Comment: Was tailed off in an allowance race two weeks ago; generally struggled with a record of 1-17; latest efforts leave a lot to be desired so he looks up against it.

Abrams

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Jeff Zook Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: -441

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; scored by 1l here over 5f (maiden special weight) when breaking his duck last Sunday; despite that Mountaineer Park success, may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Z Dancer

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Juan Vazquez Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 17-64

Comment: Not far behind Kakao when fourth upped to 1m five weeks ago in an allowance race; can be a player at this level; one to be interested in if finding his best form.

Kakao

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Juan Vazquez Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 5-434

Comment: Held in fourth when dropped back to 6f 20 days ago in an allowance race; likely to be involved with return to longer trip likely to help and shown he can win fairly recently.

Willie Wando

Jockey: Luciano Hernandez Trainer: Joe Pizzurro Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 766-6

Comment: Needs to improve on balance of recent form and achieved just the one win; finished last of six last month (Thistledown) in a claimer; workout history raises concerns this race may be needed so makes limited appeal.

Mischievous Juan

Inflation Nation

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Gregory Viands Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 82941

Comment: Back to winning ways over 5f here (claimer) when getting the job done by just under 2l last month; needs to be respected as jockey does well from inside draws here and he can take this step up in class in his stride.

Captain Creed

Jockey: Jason Simpson Trainer: Gregory Viands Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 3-611

Comment: Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 5-19) and going for a hat-trick; won by 5l over 1m here (starter allowance) 29 days ago; booking of Jason Simpson takes the eye; looks likely to be involved.

Princesstapiture

Jockey: Yuri Yaranga Trainer: Stephani Norris Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 65631

Comment: Has won previously at this course; one-time useful performer; won in good style in a claimer at Belterra Park ten days ago; hard to dismiss as recent win points to her being able to handle class rise and her speed figure last time suggests she can handle the tag rise.

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten 13l, (Presque Isle Downs) four weeks ago in an optional claimer; better than this level in her prime and useful at this level; now down in class (in for $12.5k from $16k); shown she can get her head in front so likely to be a contender.

Up Her Sleeve

Jockey: Bailey Weatherly Trainer: William McDonald Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 06575

Comment: Admirable career strike-rate (eight from 37 to date) but subpar since successful in a claimer at Tampa Bay Downs in February; came home fifth, beaten 6l, 27 days ago on her debut for new trainer in an allowance optional claimer; hard enough to fancy as best days now look to behind her.

Comment: Last of six over 1m½f at Thistledown (optional claimer, sloppy track) five weeks ago on debut for this trainer; one-time useful operator; second at Oaklawn Park in March and has claims.

Comment: Hasn't really fired since his success in a claimer at Charles Town five months ago; well held sixth when favourite for seven-runner event here over 1m (claimer) 14 days ago; this line-up contains some strong opposition so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Hov Lane

Jockey: Jason Simpson Trainer: Virginia Demczyk Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 44-675

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten 15l, in a claimer behind two of these two weeks ago; a multiple C&D winner but largely disappointing since successful in a claimer at Mountaineer Park in September; meeting some horses in good form and unlikely to trouble the principals.

Sum Kinda Pretty

Jockey: Luis Tapara Trainer: Juan Aguirre Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 5-83

Comment: Form could be levelling off and a long time since her last win; split Red Rosebush and Hov Lane in a claimer when beaten 10l 15 days ago; now looks to be past her prime and others appeal more.

Busker Allie

Jockey: Michael Pagan Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 6/8-1 F: 75165-

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten 24l, in a claimer when behind two of these in November; smart performer at one stage and a prolific C&D winner; returns from an absence here; if recent form can be forgiven, interesting based on win three runs ago; is respected.

Harlan's Legacy

Jockey: Andrew Ramgeet Trainer: Tina Ramgeet Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 2-345

Comment: Found life tough when 11l back in fifth (sloppy track) three weeks ago (split Agenda and Sum Kinda Pretty) in a claimer; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 5-24; warrants respect based on the pick of her form and lower claiming tag should make this easier.

Comment: Lightly raced (this just her third race); ran encouragingly when 3½l runner-up in an allowance race where she had two of these rivals behind two weeks ago; first run in a claimer; she is the only female runner; big run on the cards.

Comment: Useful in this grade; finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (8l) last month on first outing for new trainer in an allowance race; poses a threat if duplicating the form of his most recent win and the step up in trip is a plus.
