Comment: Out of the frame (beaten just over 3l in third) last July at Presque Isle Downs in a maiden special weight; improved form the last twice but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at ten; has had some time off; first attempt at a claimer; workout history raises concerns this race may be needed so one to tread carefully with.

My Kentucky Lily

Jockey: Cesar Orantes Trainer: J Ennis Age/Wt: 3/7-10

Comment: Related to Grade 3 winner Uncharacteristic; trainer is well capable of preparing youngsters to win races on limited experience; whether she'll be sufficiently clued up remains to be seen so the advice is to watch the betting.

Mary Moonglow

Jockey: Walter Rodriguez Trainer: Larry Rivelli Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 2-33

Comment: Not yet off the mark in three attempts although has finished second and from a respected stable; out of the frame (beaten 6l in third) in a maiden special weight at Hawthorne three weeks ago; is respected as she now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

14/1

Comment: Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a eighth career win) but slumped a bit since winning a claimer at Saratoga in September; beaten 11l in a claimer when ninth behind Appeal Denied 36 days ago; hard enough to fancy as best days now look to behind him.

Southern Sunset

Jockey: Joseph Bealmear Trainer: R Moquett Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 8-6754

25/1

Comment: Admirable career strike-rate (three from 14 to date); not disgraced in fourth over 1m½f here (claimer) when ahead of Improbable Story last month; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and looks opposable.

Ready Pursuit

Jockey: Gabriel Saez Trainer: Reina Gonzalez Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 17679

50/1

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing ninth in a claimer 17 days ago; suited by this C&D; recent form is unremarkable; hard to see him doing much as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

Top Gun Tommy

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: David Jacobson Age/Wt: 7/8-6 F: 2-2292

Comment: Has achieved 11 wins from 37 career runs; came up short when favourite and beaten 8l at Horseshoe Indianapolis last month in an optional claimer; has to be considered as his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

One Cool Dude

Jockey: Jaime Torres Trainer: Jordan Blair Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 1278-9

Comment: Winner of three races at this venue; not disgraced in ninth two weeks ago in a claimer; claiming value now drops from $25k; ought to be competitive.

Juilliard

Jockey: Abel Cedillo Trainer: Brittany Vanden Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 0381

Comment: Scored by just over 4l 52 days ago at Oaklawn Park in a claimer; claiming tag now upped from $10k; needs to be respected.

Improbable Story

Jockey: Walter Rodriguez Trainer: Barry King Age/Wt: 8/8-6 F: 5777

Comment: A winner on seven occasions from 6f to 1m½f; problems at the start (problems in the gate) last month when seventh of ten in a claimer; now looks to be past his prime and hard to fancy.
