Verdict: DESTINATION looks a solid choice. She can bounce back from a below-par effort latest and should be suited by the abundance of pace up front, while Harmony Road and Determined Achoti can give the selection something to think about.

Not This Gal

Jockey: Emmanuel Esquivel Trainer: Kenneth McPeek Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 8

Comment: Comfortably beaten first time out (1m, Churchill Downs) at 28-1 48 days ago; Emmanuel Esquivel here for just this ride; will need to step up from her racecourse introduction.

Determined Achoti

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Related to 5f winner Determined Freedom; course debutants for this trainer have to be taken seriously; sire can inject some quality; could have a say.

Destination

Jockey: Sheldon Russell Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 233-

Comment: Failed to live up to market expectations when third at Laurel Park over 1m (maiden special weight) last April; represents top stable and without a win in four attempts although has finished second; has a long absence to overcome; should be involved.

Harmony Road

Alyvia Mavis

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 242433

Comment: Seems to be improving based on last two runs and normally pretty consistent; respectable display to finish third, beaten half a length six weeks ago at Delaware Park in a maiden special weight; the stable continues to be among winners recently; deserves respect as latest run was an encouraging one and her most recent trackwork catches the eye.

Verdict: HUTCHINSON looks set for a big run. Our Day Will Come, Max Capacity and Smols must be on the shortlist.

Max Capacity

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Richard Sillaman Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Busy trackwork profile suggests no fitness issue; first racecourse start; he's an attractive contender as some good aspects to his profile and the current yard form is another tick.

Now Teddy

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Shane Meyers Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Taliesin (5½f-7f); workout history suggests fitness may not be an issue; has to be considered with signs of encouragement in profile and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Hidden Favor

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: Cody Durr Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Shares a dam with Don't Tell Brandi, a 7½f winner; looks a speedy type on sire side of pedigree; market could reveal prospects.

More Than Cute

Jockey: Ubardo Casique Trainer: Carlos Munoz Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 75

Comment: Related to Grade 3 winner Warrior's Charge; finished fifth beaten 4½l (Evangeline Downs, sloppy track) last month in a maiden special weight; first attempt in claiming company.

Boss Lily

Jockey: Jose Alonso Trainer: Irvin Flores Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Making his racecourse bow; related to Buck Wild (winner from 6f up to 1m½f); would be a surprise to see this one figure.

Our Day Will Come

Jockey: Forest Boyce Trainer: Phillip Capuano Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Plenty of trackwork in the book; from the same family as Virginia City, a winner over 1m; must be high on list as some good aspects to his profile and could be a speedy type on breeding.

Smols

Jockey: Gavin Ashton Trainer: Carlos Munoz Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 5

Comment: Held fifth of eight but was making his first appearance (Gulfstream Park, 5f, wearing blinkers) at 50-1 last month; one to take seriously if finding progression from his early experience and he now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Hutchinson

Jockey: Axel Concepcion Trainer: J Desormeaux Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Workouts somewhat dispel fitness concerns; shares a dam with C C Grand, a 1m winner; big chance.

Jigger

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: III A Allen, Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Workouts somewhat dispel fitness concerns; related to multiple race winner Raging Whiskey (4½f-6½f); likely to be involved with signs of encouragement in profile and the stable is hot at the moment.

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Richard Sillaman Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: -

Comment: Finished sixth, beaten 9l, in an allowance race at Laurel Park in September; few miles on the clock with this his third race; returns from a layoff; can make his presence felt if excused most recent run as achieved maiden claimer success two runs back and has proved he knows how to win.

Jockey: Sunday Jr Diaz Trainer: III Ollie Figgins, Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 1246-7

Comment: Finished last of seven over 4½f at Charles Town (allowance race, sloppy track) 42 days ago; easy to oppose.

Jockey: Ismerio Villalobos Trainer: Kelly Rubley Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: -541

Comment: Has raised his game the last twice; came good at the ninth time of asking last month when winning by a head at Laurel Park in a maiden claimer; by no means ruled out.

Contemplation

Jockey: Francisco Arrieta Trainer: Michael Stidham Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 7-62

Comment: Solid runner-up when dropped in distance in April (Laurel Park) in a claimer; class dropper as runs for a $30k tag here; form of the stable is a plus; he can make a bold bid.

Patty Cakes

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 2322

Comment: Ahead of Don't Tell Deren and Recognize Me when second (beaten a short head) at Delaware Park three weeks ago in an optional claimer; has been consistent of late and resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a eighth career win); has to be taken seriously as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and jockey does well from inside draws here.

Jockey: Weston Hamilton Trainer: Selvin Hernandez Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 75-85

Comment: Finished fifth of ten (just behind Patty Cakes and Don't Tell Deren, Delaware Park) last month in an optional claimer; track has proven suitable before; facing a testing assignment and others more persuasive.

Anoint

Jockey: Sheldon Russell Trainer: Keri Brion Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: -63

Comment: Good effort when just under 2l third at Laurel Park 20 days ago in an optional claimer; useful in her prime and a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 4-18; should give it a bold bid as lower claiming tag suggests she may have less on her plate here.

Maximo Madness

Comment: All wins over this distance; split Anoint and Cairo Street at Laurel Park when fifth beaten just over 2l three weeks ago in an optional claimer; not been able to get her head in front lately so has some questions to answer.

Love Mami Love

Jockey: Micah Husbands Trainer: S Joseph Jr Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 11-43

Comment: Favourite two months ago but failed to deliver when third at Gulfstream Park in a claimer; record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-19); clear chance; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and lower claiming tag suggests she may have less on her plate here.

Cairo Street

Jockey: Forest Boyce Trainer: Lacey Gaudet Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 3-1578

Comment: This is her level; out of the frame (beaten just over 4l in eighth) at Laurel Park over 1m (optional claimer) last month on debut for this trainer; competitive shout as has wins in her back catalogue and sights are lowered reflected by lower claiming tag.

Next Episode

Jockey: Victor Carrasco Trainer: Phil Schoenthal Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 4-5750

Comment: Subpar since successful in an allowance optional claimer at Colonial Downs last August; winning form over C&D; came home last five weeks ago in race won by Don't Tell Deren (Laurel Park) in an optional claimer; up in class (in for $16k here, $10k tag last time).
