Comment: Has winning C&D form to her name; largely disappointing since successful in an allowance race at Ellis Park in August; 11th of 12 in an allowance race at Keeneland last month upped to 1m4f; others are preferred in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Comment: Not beaten far when runner-up here over 1m½f (maiden claimer, sloppy track) six months ago on debut for this trainer; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; returning from a layoff here; can be in the mix as this doesn't look like the strongest maiden claimer and her last run was encouraging.

Comment: Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 9-30); he accounted for three of these rivals in a starter allowance (Keeneland) when dead-heating with Executive Action three weeks ago; likely to be in contention.

9/1

Comment: Finished fifth in the Grade 1 Maker's Mark Mile (Keeneland) last month; entitled to respect as could be suited by this step up in trip and he ran well in defeat two starts ago.

Comment: Beaten seventh of eight upped to 1m4f (Gulfstream Park) six weeks ago in a Grade 3; easy to oppose despite dropping in class.

Quadra Island

Jockey: Irving Moncada Trainer: Tobious Richard Age/Wt: 5/8-5 F: 84-22

20/1

Comment: Not won for some time now but consistent performer; finished a decent second of nine 45 days ago (Turfway Park, dropped back to 1m) when ahead of Army Officer and El Kabong in an allowance optional claimer; higher claiming tag here so up in class.

El Kabong

Jockey: Gabriel Saez Trainer: Jesus Esquivel Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 648-35

25/1

Comment: Beaten fifth of nine at Turfway Park over 1m (allowance optional claimer) on debut for this handler 45 days ago; has lacked consistency of late and quite a while since he tasted success; claiming tag now upped to $80k; others more persuasive given many of his rivals are in good form.

33/1

Comment: A while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023) and not the most consistent of horses lately; finished tailed off in a stakes (Oaklawn Park) six weeks ago upped to 1m4f; down in class this time but only limited appeal.

40/1

Army Officer

Jockey: Florent Geroux Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 178-4

Comment: Split Quadra Island and El Kabong in an allowance optional claimer when beaten 6l (fourth of nine, Turfway Park) 45 days ago; hails from a good stable; the Brad Cox outfit is running hot currently; has to be respected as he knows how to get his head in front.

Comment: Finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (9l) at Keeneland in 2023 in a maiden special weight; returns from a lengthy absence; has to be feared as shown she can be competitive fairly recently and her most recent trackwork was pleasing.
