Buckin' Right

Jockey: Tais Lyapustina Trainer: Jonathan Maldonado Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 2-462

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Kissedbyanangel; close up second in a maiden claimer 12 days ago (Laurel Park) on debut for this trainer; definite chance.

Tailored For Joy

Jockey: Cecily Evans Trainer: McLean Robertson Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 38-

Comment: Bumped at the start in a maiden special weight at Keeneland when beaten 12l in October; has had some time off; every chance as she drops into a maiden claimer for the first time and has shown some ability on occasion.

Vamonos Chicas

Comment: Related to Super Bourbon (winner from 4½f up to 6f); should have speed for this if taking after sire; market could reveal prospects as trainer often leaves something to work on.

Centsamilla

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Annette Eubanks Age/Wt: 3/8-0 F: -3

Comment: Held on her debut at Laurel Park at 11-2 three weeks ago; no surprise to see her go well now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and she knows more about the job in hand.

Verdict: R AVERIE LYNN is the pick of these. She has been running to a consistent level lately and is going for her tenth course success.

R Averie Lynn

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Michael Gorham Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 211722

Comment: Is a multiple winner this year and has a good C&D record (four wins from eight runs); ahead of Ritabook and Compass Fire when runner-up (beaten just over 2l) over 6f here (optional claimer) two weeks ago; peak figure in the past year is the best in the field so must be in the mix.

Compass Fire

Jockey: Gabriel Maldonado Trainer: Christophe Seale Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 067514

Comment: A course winner; she meets the required standard ability wise; beaten 6l just behind R Averie Lynn and Ritabook in runner-up and third in an optional claimer two weeks ago; should be thereabouts as shown she can win fairly recently.

Turbo Millie

Jockey: Jose Mauricio Trainer: Daniel Siculietano Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 5-3245

Divine Romance

Jockey: Yabriel Ramos Trainer: Bruce Kravets Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 451216

Comment: Failed to land a blow when sixth of seven in a claimer 45 days ago at Parx on debut for this trainer; resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a seventh career win); calmer waters here (in for $8k, $15k tag last time); likely to be thereabouts.

Ritabook

Jockey: Jose Batista Trainer: Victor Carrasco Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 131413

Comment: Successful three times in her last six starts; this C&D holds no fears; fair effort (beaten 4½l) last month in an optional claimer; should give it a bold bid.

Smooth Justice

Jockey: Richard Mitchell Trainer: Arthur Agostini Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 4554

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing fourth of seven here over 6f (claimer) last month; successful 11 times from 38 career runs but a few throw outs since her success in a claimer at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing in October; now a lower claiming tag ($8k from $10k) so down in class; others appeal more.

Quahog Republic

Jockey: Raul Mena Trainer: Michael Gorham Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 7-57

Comment: This now his eighth attempt to get off the mark; beaten 11l in seventh over 1m½f here (maiden claimer, soft) last month; must go on the shortlist with so many of these having something to prove and lower claiming tag suggests he may have less on his plate here.

Jockey: Jorge Sanchez Gonzalez Trainer: Giovanni Salinas Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 8-

Comment: Comfortably beaten first time out at Tampa Bay Downs at 50-1 in December; back from an absence here; first run in a claimer; should improve with a run under his belt although it was only a modest start despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Comment: Finished last of six over 5½f here (maiden claimer) dropped back in distance 14 days ago; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at eight and form has been a bit up and down of late; in for a $20k tag here, up from $7.5k last time; others more appealing.

Soo Handsome

Jockey: Alexander Crispin Trainer: Beverly Strauss Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Sire gets fair share of winners over this distance; whether he'll be sufficiently clued up remains to be seen so easy enough to oppose.

Moonlit Frost

Jockey: Sara Fabbro Del Trainer: Damon Dilodovico Age/Wt: 3/8-0 F: 9-8953

Comment: Was thereabouts (third of 12, 25-1, Laurel Park) last month in a maiden claimer; has found improvement of late and consistent performer; claiming tag rises from $16k last time; capable of making an impact given there's a paucity of good recent form on offer in this contest and his latest effort was promising.

D Hopper

Jockey: Tais Lyapustina Trainer: Jonathan Maldonado Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 3635

Comment: Has not been firing consistently and still winless and defeats stacking up (ten on the bounce); was held in fifth upped to 1m½f last month on his debut for this trainer at Laurel Park in a maiden claimer; now tackles shorter distance; in for a $20k tag so up in class ($16k last time).

Warriors Jewel

Jockey: Yabriel Ramos Trainer: Bruce Kravets Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 53314

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; last of four at Penn National 23 days ago (sloppy track) in an allowance race; makes limited appeal.

Amorica

Jockey: Jose Mauricio Trainer: Jesus Rodriguez Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 245-53

Comment: Wasn't beaten that far when third (beaten 2l) last month in an optional claimer; been a while since she achieved her only career win; not been able to get her head in front lately so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Homestead

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Keri Brion Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 32-33

Comment: Has shown some recent improvement and remains far from exposed; favourite 27 days ago when narrowly beaten to finish third, showing early speed to lead from a wide draw at Laurel Park in a maiden special weight; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so wouldn't rule out a big run.

Comment: Still winless and defeats stacking up (17 on the bounce); bumped at the start over 1m here (maiden claimer, behind Hidden Motive) when beaten 14l (sixth of nine) last month; jockey booking is a positive; makes limited appeal as hits the crossbar all too often.

Comment: Respectable effort to finish third, beaten 3½l in an allowance optional claimer at Laurel Park with Factor It In just behind last month; not won for some time now and possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and no encouragement here.
