Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 476-8

Comment: Finished behind Sarir over 6f at Aqueduct (allowance optional claimer) when last of eight in January; has achieved three wins from 14 career runs but hasn't won for a while; opposable; has struggled returning from a break in the past.

Collaboration

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 25126-

Comment: Disappointing to see her finish sixth in November given market expectations dropped back in distance at Aqueduct in an allowance race; yet to taste defeat over this C&D, winning on all two attempts; likes this combination of C&D; up in distance by an extra 2f here.

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Christophe Clement Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 6360-5

Lavender Disaster

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 10-

Comment: Finished tailed off over 1m½f here (Grade 2) in October; has a nice pedigree (by Into Mischief) and from powerful stable; returns from a layoff; she shouldn't be far away with lower class a definite positive and didn't have the best of luck last time.

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Steven Schauer Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 68156

Comment: Finished last of six over 7f here (claimer, muddy track) on debut for this trainer last Friday; has won previously at this course; this is her level; now down in class (in for $16k from $25k); her best form stacks up so warrants respect.

Comment: Finished last of five (Aqueduct) six weeks ago in a claimer; one-time useful performer and she can be competitive at this level; tag has been dropped to $16k; her best form stacks up so cannot be ignored.

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Antonio Arriaga Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 251614

Comment: Record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 6-21); fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing fourth of six (sloppy track) upped to 1m 16 days ago in a claimer; tag has been raised to $16k; clear chance.

Comment: Beaten half a length over 6½f at Aqueduct (claimer) last month; wins-runs record of 6-29; class riser as runs for a $16k tag here; likely to be involved as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Comment: Not far behind Goldcrest when last (sloppy track) two weeks ago in a claimer; she can be competitive at this level and smart performer at one stage; class riser as runs for a $16k tag here; likely to be a threat as shown she can get her head in front and was a winner two starts ago.

Comment: Form has an uneven look to it and been a while since she achieved her only career win; could not manage better than fourth over 6f at Aqueduct (claimer) 44 days ago; claiming tag drops to $30k (from $40k); headgear will need to have dramatic effect so passed over.

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: -6

Comment: Held in sixth in an allowance optional claimer at Aqueduct 51 days ago; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-13); arguably the one to beat as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Michelle Nevin Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: P5-173

Comment: Better than this level in his prime and record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 7-28); finished third but wasn't beaten too far (6l) 23 days ago in a claimer; lower claiming tag suggests he may have less on his plate here so warrants respect.

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: Steven Schauer Age/Wt: 9/8-11 F: 2-1114

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth in an optional claimer (sloppy track, not far behind High Tide) at Aqueduct six weeks ago; has achieved 22 wins from 64 career runs; tag has been raised to $20k; his best looks to be behind him and may be vulnerable.

Comment: One-time smart performer and has achieved nine wins from 43 career runs; respectable effort in an optional claimer (sloppy track, Aqueduct) upped to this distance six weeks ago; he can make a bold bid.

Winter's Ghost

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: R Rodriguez Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 2-323

Comment: May not have any more improvement left and hasn't won for a while; close up behind Suerte when third two weeks ago in a claimer; claiming tag rises from $10k last time; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and is passed over.

Comment: Runner-up when 8-11 where just ahead of Winter's Ghost 15 days ago in a claimer; form could be levelling off and hasn't won for a while; claiming tag rises to $20k here; his best looks to be behind him and one to tread carefully with.

Comment: Has won previously at this course; beaten a fair way when sixth over 1m at Aqueduct (claimer) five months ago; has had some time off; can be in the thick of things as shown he can win fairly recently and sights are lowered reflected by lower claiming tag.

Comment: Beaten 10l in sixth a week ago in an optional claimer; grade looks suitable; moves down to an easier grade (in for $35k); knows how to win so could be of some interest.

Jockey: Favinho Pino Villa Trainer: R Rodriguez Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 6-3646

Iron Max

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Amelia Green Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 64-4

Comment: Could not manage better than fourth over 6½f here (maiden special weight, muddy track) on his first start for this trainer 21 days ago; should be involved as has bits and pieces of decent form and jockey does well from inside draws here.

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Mark Hennig Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 55-469

Comment: Yet to finish better than fourth in his six races; finished just behind G Five when ninth over 1m at Aqueduct (maiden special weight), managing to get across to lead from stall ten four weeks ago; now drops to a maiden claimer.

Blue Pill

Jockey: Luis Rivera Jr Trainer: James Ferraro Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 09

Comment: Last of nine over 6f here (maiden special weight) 15 days ago; sire does get winners on the turf; runs in claiming company for the first time; might find this company a little easier but not easy to fancy.

Ragazzo D'oro

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: Bruce Brown Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 542

Comment: Beaten a head in a maiden claimer at Aqueduct on his first start for this trainer 32 days ago; he should go close.

Arch's Assault

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Charlton Baker Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 747-6

Comment: Yet to finish better than fourth in his four races; held when sixth beaten 11l last month at Aqueduct in a maiden special weight; likely to be thereabouts based on the pick of his form and is now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer.

Tap It Easy

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Michelle Giangiulio Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 62-77

Comment: Held when seventh of nine over 1m at Aqueduct (maiden special weight) last month; definitely of interest as he finished second at Aqueduct in November and is now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer.

G Five

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Michelle Nevin Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 9-7

Comment: Beaten 9l (seventh) at Aqueduct over 1m (maiden special weight) last month; wears first-time blinkers; now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time so has a competitive shout.

Naguile

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Christophe Clement Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Newcomers from this trainer are often capable of winning; sire does get winners on the turf; conceding experience to all his rivals; can't be ruled out.

Sweet Tone

Jockey: Lane Luzzi Trainer: Gary Sciacca Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 870-6

Comment: Still winless and defeats stacking up (14 on the bounce); unable to land a blow in sixth four months ago at Aqueduct in a maiden claimer; claiming value rises from $30k last time; layoff to overcome; difficult to fancy.

Patronage

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: /250-

Comment: Favourite when last of ten in a maiden claimer (Gulfstream Park) in December; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; returns from a break here; needs considering as finished second at Belmont At The Big A three runs ago.

Oath Of Omerta

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Jena Antonucci Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 489-5

Comment: Not beaten too far when fifth at Gulfstream Park four months ago in a maiden claimer; six-race maiden though does have a third place to his name; returns from a layoff here; down in class now, dropping from a $75k tag; others more persuasive.

Dakota Country

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Danny Gargan Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 0426-

Comment: Not yet off the mark in four attempts although has finished second; problems at the start (bobbled) in July when beaten 6l (sixth of 12, Saratoga) in a maiden claimer; claiming tag rises to $50k here; returns from a break today.

Alzero
