Verdict: AL AMEEQ is a two-time winner at this track and given his current winning run, he has every chance of going in again. Mr Mac Quhae, Bird King and Swift Tap could run well too.

Off The Meds

Jockey: Jose Batista Trainer: Victor Carrasco Age/Wt: 8/8-7 F: 44424

Comment: Can be a player at this level and smart performer at one stage; not far behind Funkenstein when fourth last week in a claimer; should not be far away as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag.

Book Marker

Jockey: Yabriel Ramos Trainer: Bruce Kravets Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 76605

Comment: Not disgraced when fifth splitting Bird King, Durkin's Call and Lookin For Justice four weeks ago in a claimer; not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Delaware Park in October and possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; this looks a fair heat so no encouragement here.

Al Ameeq

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 7-7211

Comment: Scored by just under 3l over 1m here (claimer) two weeks ago; admirable career strike-rate (three from 12 to date) and aiming to complete a hat-trick; form of the trainer is a plus; lower claiming tag shouldn't put you off so is a leading player.

Bird King

Jockey: Jose Vargas Trainer: Michael Gorham Age/Wt: 8/7-11 F: 7-225

Comment: Split a number of these rivals in a claimer when not living up to expectations 21 days ago; he can be competitive at this level and showed smart form in his pomp; should not be ruled out on the best of his form.

Zipper Zapper

Jockey: Gabriel Maldonado Trainer: Jose Ramirez Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 346-63

Comment: This C&D holds no fears; could be at the extent of his ability; not beaten too far (2l) two weeks ago in a claimer; found this claiming level has been beyond him recently so looks risky.

Lookin For Justice

Jockey: Ubardo Casique Trainer: Jose Ramirez Age/Wt: 7/8-7 F: 32-77

Comment: Hasn't won for a while and form could be levelling off; held when seventh beaten 11l in a claimer 21 days ago; a lot on his plate here and hard to make a case for him.

Funkenstein

Jockey: Jorge Sanchez Gonzalez Trainer: Arthur Agostini Age/Wt: 7/8-7 F: 2543

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 7l, finishing third of five last Friday in a claimer; often been there or thereabouts lately; may have reached limits of his ability; claiming value now drops from $6.3k; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and unlikely to trouble the principals.

Mr Mac Quhae

Jockey: Sara Hess Trainer: Renaldo Richards Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 133-66

Comment: Comfortably beaten into sixth at Tampa Bay Downs three months ago in an optional claimer; one-time useful operator and can be a player at this level; hard to dismiss as has wins in the formbook.

Durkin's Call

Jockey: Raul Mena Trainer: Jr Mario Serey, Age/Wt: 9/8-7 F: 33842

Comment: Finishing second was a good effort in a claimer when finished in front of five of these 21 days ago; possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; passed over as no longer in his pomp.

Swift Tap

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Andrew Simoff Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 1-83336

Comment: Finished last of six in a claimer at Monmouth Park three weeks ago; successful six times from 44 career outings (6f-1m½f) and this is his level; tag drops from $12.5k to $5k here; likely player if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

Comment: Related to Special Affair (winner from 5f up to 1m); is a player as has looked an intriguing prospect during trackwork.

Intrepid Mo

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Gary Capuano Age/Wt: 3/8-0 F: 3

Comment: Came home third here on her debut, although she was beaten only three-quarters of a length at 7-1 last month; form of the trainer is a plus; likely player if reproducing initial effort and is now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer.

Souper Upgrade

Jockey: Daniel Centeno Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 36-33

Comment: Nicely bred (by Win Win Win); beaten into third when 7-4 over 5½f at Presque Isle Downs (maiden special weight) last month; plenty of appeal as she now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Verdict: KUNOOZ is hard to look beyond. He could cash in if the leaders go too fast and his last run caught the eye. Mungo and Strand Road also merit consideration.

Bold Licorice

Jockey: Gabriel Maldonado Trainer: Kelly Deiter Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 4-45

Comment: Had three of these rivals behind him in an optional claimer when beaten 5l (fifth of 12) two weeks ago; could be at the extent of his ability and hasn't won for a while; his best looks to be behind him and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Kunooz

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Kieron Magee Age/Wt: 3/7-12 F: 7-01665

Comment: Not beaten too far (1½l) at Laurel Park last Saturday in an optional claimer; the Kieron Magee outfit is running hot currently; strong contender as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Comment: Finished fourth beaten just over 5l in a claimer on debut for this handler (Belmont At The Big A) 49 days ago; running consistently; certainly not out of it as lower claiming tag should make this easier and has proved he knows how to win.

Comment: No impression when third of six two weeks ago splitting Zippy Do Da Day, Best Worst Idea and Bella Creed on first outing for new trainer in a maiden claimer; this is the only ride on the card for Tyrone Carter; may have to settle for supporting role.

Comment: Bumped at the start in a maiden claimer when back to 5f (muddy track) on debut outing for new trainer last month; in for a $12.5k tag so down in class ($16k last time); should be on the premises.

Comment: Excellent in his prime and good C&D record (three wins); narrow winner of an optional claimer at Laurel Park six months ago; back from an absence here; no surprise to see him go well; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and he can take this step up in class in his stride.

Chez Soleil

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: II James Lawrence, Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 124-5

Comment: A winner over C&D; finished last of five in an optional claimer at Pimlico (sloppy track) 37 days ago; this line-up contains some strong opposition so easy to oppose.

Always Laughing

Jockey: Ricardo Chiappe Trainer: Timothy Kreiser Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 5131

Comment: Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 8-28) and from a powerful trainer; won an allowance optional claimer by just under 3l (sloppy track) at Penn National last month; respected.

Patty Cakes

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 51232

Comment: Beaten a short head in a claimer at Monmouth Park two weeks ago; a winner on seven occasions from 5½f to 1m½f and useful in her prime; in the mix as latest run was an encouraging one and in off a lower claiming tag.

Jockey: Jean Briceno Trainer: Selvin Hernandez Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 175-8

Comment: Was behind Don't Tell Deren at Laurel Park two weeks ago when beaten 10l in an optional claimer; seeking her fourth career success; claiming value rises from $10k last time; meeting some horses in good form and one to tread carefully with.

Exclusive Champion

Jockey: Jose Batista Trainer: J Sweezey Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 5-8

Comment: Managed two wins in her last five outings; beaten a long way in a starter allowance at Gulfstream Park two months ago; notable jockey booking; doesn't have a good record when fresh; only limited appeal.

Blonde Samaritan

Jockey: Gabriel Maldonado Trainer: Jose Ramirez Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 77-63

Tiki Bar

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: Victor Carrasco Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 9-45712

Comment: Fair effort (beaten 3l) in an optional claimer, finished ahead of Louise Brooks last month; a C&D winner; warrants respect as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field and has proved she knows how to win.

Jockey: Alexander Crispin Trainer: Gina Perri Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 2-1431

Comment: Has managed three wins from 14 career runs; had three of these in arrears when winning by 1l (sloppy track, Pimlico) five weeks ago in an optional claimer; easy to oppose despite the last time out success.

Comment: Has achieved four wins from 16 career runs and on a hat-trick; got home in front by half a length (Presque Isle Downs) in October in an allowance race; back from an absence here.

Verdict: RASCALLION looks a solid choice. She has been a winner at this track and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed.

Rascallion

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Jonathan Maldonado Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: 216561

Comment: Had a couple of these behind over 1m here (claimer) when springing a 9-1 surprise two weeks ago on debut for this trainer; has chalked up two wins from her last five; leading claims as her jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D and best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively.

Bitcoin Baby

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: Thomas Iannotti Age/Wt: 3/8-3 F: 50162

Penny Polka

Jockey: Alexander Crispin Trainer: Jose Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 1-32

Comment: Has won at this track; not beaten that far in runner-up (9l) at Penn National in March in a claimer; now eased in the grades (in for $6.3k); shown she can get her head in front so has claims.
