Verdict: RED WREN is expected to get the job done. She looks to hold the edge over her main dangers on recent evidence (won last time) and has been successful at this track before.

She's Got Rhythm

Jockey: Brooke Bays Trainer: Randall Russell Age/Wt: 5/8-4 F: 1434-3

Comment: Producing consistent form; finished in front of several of these back down to 5½f last month when third beaten 2l in a claimer; shown she can get her head in front so should not be ruled out.

Negra Gata

Jockey: Ronald Allen Jr Trainer: Maria Bowersock Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 5-674

Comment: Out of the money, beaten just over 2l, when fourth last month splitting She's Got Rhythm, Jazz Time Girl and Into Touring in a claimer; not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Presque Isle Downs in October.

Jazz Time Girl

Jockey: Israel Rodriguez Trainer: Justin Morrell Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 231-5

Comment: Managed two wins in her last five outings; not disgraced when fifth last month splitting She's Got Rhythm, Negra Gata and Into Touring in a claimer.

Red Wren

Jockey: Gaddiel Martinez Trainer: Kevin Rice Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 586771

Into Touring

Jockey: Brandon Tapara Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 46846

Comment: Fair effort when beaten just over 3l, finishing sixth of seven last month in a claimer; possible she has reached the ceiling of her ability; others more likely as best days now look to behind her.

Verdict: EL CHISPAZO might find the race opens up for him with the likelihood of plenty of competition for the lead and can rebound from a modest last run. Secret Fortune and None The Wiser must be on the shortlist.

El Chispazo

Jockey: Israel Rodriguez Trainer: Juan Arriagada Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 59224

Comment: Signs of improvement on last two runs; finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (4½l) in a maiden special weight two weeks ago; can make his presence felt.

Starship Legacy

Jockey: Mike Allen Trainer: John Fennessy Age/Wt: 5/8-8

Comment: Stable excels with debutants here; related to Bullet Butch, winning form over 5½f-7f; a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive as this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals.

Shoot The Waves

Jockey: Joe Stokes Trainer: John Fennessy Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 03-6

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing sixth in a maiden special weight last month on debut for this trainer; has shown signs of promise here and there and likely to be in contention.

Comment: Running for the first time; has plenty of trackwork under his belt; likely to be involved.

None The Wiser

Jockey: Antonio Gallardo Trainer: Lance Stokes Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 4677-

Comment: Found life tough when 15l back in seventh in a maiden claimer (Penn National) in October; returns from a layoff; down in class now, dropping from a $25k tag; hard to ignore as shown some ability on occasion.

Library

Jockey: Kris Fox Trainer: Henry Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 76-890

Comment: Yet to manage better than sixth in his six races; was tailed off back down to 7f at Tampa Bay Downs three months ago (behind El Chispazo) in a maiden claimer; now a lower claiming tag ($15k from $16k) so down in class; difficult to build a solid case for him.

Brumba Waffle Toes

Jockey: Antonio Gallardo Trainer: Ron Potts Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 87-94

Comment: Yet to win over this distance but likes this track (all four career wins here); not beaten far (Tampa Bay Downs) in March in a claimer; a big player if building on promise shown last time and has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Shivaree

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing fifth in October upped to 1m4f in an optional claimer; has a course-and-distance record of five wins from 14 starts and wasn't at his best last time out following some good runs; back from an absence here; likely player as should benefit from return to this trip.

Haut Les Coeurs

Jockey: Martina Rojas Trainer: Michael Pappada Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 8-7222

Comment: Beaten three-quarters of a length when second in a maiden claimer on debut outing for new trainer 19 days ago; has raised her game the last twice; can make a decent bid if reproducing most recent effort.

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Handy Dandy; lightly raced with this just her fifth appearance; sixth beaten 9l upped to 1m last Monday on debut outing for new trainer in a maiden claimer; claiming value rises from $7.5k last time; her claims aren't overly compelling.

Sunset Vibes

Jockey: Victor Severino Trainer: Moises Valdez Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 73-5

Comment: Came home fifth, beaten 12l, 13 days ago in a maiden claimer; has displayed improved form on last two starts but defeats piling up (0-11); up in class (in for $15k); unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Certain

Comment: String of consistent efforts of late and admirable career strike-rate (five from 11 to date); respectable effort (beaten just over 3l) in an allowance race at Charles Town in October upped to 7f; clear chance as return to this trip should be in his favour and he has won after a layoff previously.

Comment: Excellent in his prime and has gained five wins over course and distance; not beaten that far in sixth (just under 4l) in an allowance optional claimer 12 days ago; class dropper as runs for a $13.5k tag here; he's an attractive contender.

Comment: Split a number of these rivals over 1m here (claimer) when beaten 4l in fourth last month; C&D winner although not added to that in previous seven tries but this is his grade; looks likely to be involved as shown he can be competitive fairly recently and has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Jockey: Mike Allen Trainer: John Fennessy Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 15376-

Comment: First-time blinkers no help in a claimer upped to this distance when beaten 12l (sixth of ten) last June; returns from a break here; capable if in the mood so easy to see him making an impression.
