Comment: Came home eighth, beaten 5l, in a claimer (Turfway Park) in December; improved form the last twice and she can be competitive at this level; switching to dirt for the first time; calmer waters here (in for $5k, $30k tag last time); must be respected if excused most recent run as achieved maiden special weight success two runs back and shown she can win fairly recently.

Comment: Behind Wampus Kitten when beaten 22l (Oaklawn Park) three weeks ago in a claimer; will need to improve upon some moderate recent runs but she can be competitive at this level; class dropper as runs for a $5k tag here; strong claims as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively.

Comment: Finished last of seven at Oaklawn Park last April in a stakes; this just his fourth race; hails from a good trainer; long absence to overcome; has to be considered if excused most recent run as achieved maiden special weight success two runs back and has proved he knows how to win.

Comment: Course debutants for this stable have to be taken seriously; likely to be in contention as some good aspects to her profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Comment: Unable to land a blow in fifth at Churchill Downs 32 days ago in a claimer; class dropper as runs for a $30k tag here; if recent form can be forgiven, interesting based on win three runs ago; likely to be involved.

9/2

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; shed maiden status at the sixth time of asking over 1m½f at Gulfstream Park (maiden claimer) when winning by half a length last month; in for a $30k tag so down in class ($35k last time); should not be far away.

Tidal Tactics

Jockey: Alberto Burgos Trainer: Michael Lauer Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 000-7

Comment: Beaten a long way at Turfway Park four months ago in a claimer; has won here before; largely disappointing since successful in a maiden special weight at Horseshoe Indianapolis in August; $30k claiming tag this time (up from $15k); returns from a layoff; makes limited appeal as has not been seen doing much trackwork recently.

Son Of A Gray

Jockey: Andres Calleja Trainer: Bonnie Pittman Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 731720

Comment: Last of ten last month (Churchill Downs) in a claimer; now a lower claiming tag ($12.5k from $16k) so down in class; easy to oppose.

Battle Of Britain

Jockey: James Graham Trainer: Conor Murphy Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 437-63

Comment: Finished third but wasn't beaten too far (just over 4l) at Turfway Park on first run for this trainer in March in a claimer; claiming tag now upped to $12.5k; may have to settle for supporting role as this sort of tag has hampered his win prospects of late.
