Verdict: Firm preference is for AIKMANS AUDIBLE. He will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast. Willy Willy is one to take seriously.

Wild Nugget

Jockey: Jordano Tunon Trainer: Dimitrios Synnefias Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 8-13

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 4l in an optional claimer 41 days ago; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs.

Brother Rice

Jockey: Yabriel Ramos Trainer: Elisha Perez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 524-1

Comment: Shown recent signs of improvement; was well on top at the finish, breaking his duck at the sixth time of asking in March in a maiden claimer on debut for this trainer; workout history raises concerns this race may be needed so unlikely to trouble the principals.

English Daddy

Jockey: Martina Rojas Trainer: Bruce Kravets Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 1-434

Comment: Not beaten that far in fourth (6l) in an optional claimer on first run for this trainer in front of Rock Anna Roll two weeks ago; capable if in the mood so could be in the shake up.

Aikmans Audible

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Timothy Kreiser Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 8-621

Comment: Narrow success in a maiden claimer at Laurel Park when getting off the mark at the fifth time of asking in February; from powerful trainer and has displayed improved form on last two starts; should be involved.

Bejuco

Jockey: Inoel Beato Trainer: Erin Carpio Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 3-2236

Comment: Close up behind Rock Anna Roll when last in an optional claimer in March; poor strike-rate and no longer appears to be improving; may have to settle for supporting role as this is a fairly competitive event.

Rock Anna Roll

Jockey: Ricardo Chiappe Trainer: Flint Stites Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 3-8446

Comment: Sole victory becoming a distant memory; found life tough when 12l back in sixth in an optional claimer last month, behind English Daddy; meeting some horses in good form and has some questions to answer.

Verdict: CALVARY KAT has an obvious shout. She is a regular distance winner and has wins in her formline. Warrior's Treasure looks best of the rest.

Broad Jumper

Jockey: Luis Rivera Trainer: Cesareo Marquez Age/Wt: 8/8-6 F: 46-7

Comment: Was seventh of eight, beaten 19l, at Parx on debut for new trainer last month in a claimer; quite a while since she tasted success and shown all winning form at Parx (four successes); in for a $14k tag so down in class ($15k last time); makes limited appeal as no great record on second run back following a layoff.

Blame Catalaya

Jockey: Ricardo Chiappe Trainer: Cody Beattie Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 1-2421

Comment: Successful by 2½l to claim second C&D win 48 days ago; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; others appeal more despite the last time out success.

Calvary Kat

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 1/255-

Comment: Last of five in an optional claimer upped to 1m½f at Presque Isle Downs in October; this is her level; returns from a layoff here; now a lower claiming tag ($16k from $25k) so down in class; has '1s' by her name and has to be taken seriously.

No Easy Answer

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Erin McClellan Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 157-32

Comment: Behind Blame Catalaya in a claimer when second here 48 days ago; a prolific winner over this C&D; in for a $16k tag so up in class ($10k last time).

Warrior's Treasure

Jockey: Inoel Beato Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 641-16

Comment: No impression when sixth of seven in an allowance race in February; successful three times in her last six starts; can be a player at this level; should give it a bold bid.

Verdict: GREY STREAK is the pick of these. He can be forgiven an underwhelming run last time and a good pace up front will help him, while Cali Heat certainly isn't out of it.

Grey Streak

Jockey: Inoel Beato Trainer: Bruce Kravets Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 612-16

Comment: Sixth of seven beaten 11l 14 days ago in an optional claimer; some way off his best these days and admirable career strike-rate (eight from 36 to date); strong claims.

Mischief Warrior

Jockey: Leonardo Corujo Trainer: Jose Bobadilla Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 74655

Comment: Not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Penn National five months ago; not disgraced when fifth of 12 in a claimer last month; claiming tag rises from $5k last time; not hard to turn elsewhere.

Cali Heat

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Mark Salvaggio Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 3-5331

Comment: Got the job done by 4½l six weeks ago in a claimer; season-ticket holder here with three wins; recent win points to him being able to handle class rise so must be respected.

Comment: Went down by three-quarters of a length six weeks ago behind Grey Streak in a claimer; impressive record of five wins from nine runs here; $10k claiming tag this time (up from $7.5k); ought to give it a shot.
