Verdict: ISABELLA'S BEAUTY could capitalise if the leaders go too fast and can come out on top with more improvement in her. The Last Thrill is another to consider.

Green Grace

Jockey: Javier Diego Trainer: Rhonda Thurman Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 35-85

Comment: Form has been a bit mixed lately and you have to go back a fair way to find her only win; close up behind Isabella's Beauty when fifth in a claimer (Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing) 19 days ago; claiming value now rises to $7.5k; is passed over.

The Last Thrill

Jockey: Israel Hernandez Trainer: Elias Lopez Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 5155-

Comment: This is her grade and has been consistent of late; far from disgraced (beaten just under 5l) in an allowance optional claimer at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing in October; returns from a layoff; more than capable if on song so should give it a shot.

Isabella's Beauty

Jockey: Ademar Santos Trainer: Armando Hernandez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 7741-2

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; finished a decent second of seven at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing last month in a claimer; holds leading claims.

Rumbrandt

Jockey: Orlando Mojica Trainer: Michael Slager Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 64-42

Comment: Finishing second was a good effort two weeks ago with Misty Sunday just behind in a claimer; subpar record of 1-14 but has been fairly consistent this year; one to note if building on last performance.

Jockey: Frank Reyes Trainer: Dino Dizeo Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 4661-5

Devils Red

Jockey: Luis Colon Trainer: David Reid Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 71434

Comment: Beaten 10l into fourth upped to 1m½f two weeks ago in a claimer; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 6-29); knocking at the door recently; others are preferred.

Xpressir

Comment: Wins-runs record of 4-18; ran encouragingly when 2½l second, finished ahead of Alibi Ike two weeks ago in a claimer; tries turf for the first time; his jockey has an impressive record from low numbers over this C&D so definite chance.

Dinos Dixie

Jockey: Santiago Gonzalez Trainer: Daniel Simonovich Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 0-589

Comment: Behind Grand Hideaway and Channel Won (fifth and seventh) here in an optional claimer when last of nine on debut outing for new trainer two months ago; brings winning C&D form to the table; not really built on success in an allowance race in October at Hawthorne; tag has been raised to $12.5k; has struggled returning from a break in the past and easy enough to take on.

Grand Hideaway

Jockey: Frank Reyes Trainer: David Reid Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 13-5

Comment: Had two of these rivals behind him in an optional claimer posting a respectable display to finish fifth two months ago; a winner over C&D; his best looks to be behind him and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Jockey: Ademar Santos Trainer: Pedro Flores Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 545642

Comment: Seems to be improving based on last two runs; somewhat disappointing when finishing fourth (7-4) in a maiden claimer at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing 36 days ago; has strong claims as lower claiming tag should make this easier.

Bourbon Street Boy

Jockey: Alexis Centeno Trainer: Joel Campbell Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 6679

Comment: Attempting to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking (sixth his best finish so far); finished out the back here over 1m (maiden claimer) last week on debut for this trainer; now down in class (in for $6.3k from $12.5k); shouldn't be too far away.

Verdict: SHAMAN SEZ is strongly fancied to come out on top. He is taken to come out on top off the back of his latest effort and the abundance of pace up front enhances his claims.

Vino Couragio

Jockey: Julio Felix Trainer: Joel Campbell Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 16974

Comment: Split a number of these rivals over 6f here (claimer) last month when fourth of nine on debut for this trainer; more than capable if on song so looks a contender.

Comment: Had several of these rivals behind him here over 6f (claimer) when beaten just over 5l to finish second last month; normally pretty consistent; latest effort was encouraging so no surprise if he has a big say.

Jockey: Ademar Santos Trainer: Hugo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 351426

Comment: Ridden positively to get across to lead from stall seven in a claimer when separating a number of reopposing rivals last month; brings winning C&D form to the table; grade looks suitable; needs considering if replicating the best of his form.

Double Burn

Jockey: Israel Hernandez Trainer: Hugh Robertson Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 6761

Comment: Beaten 16l (eighth) 21 days ago when behind four of these rivals in a claimer; been generally quiet since successful in a maiden claimer at Laurel Park in September and possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; this looks a decent race so not easy to fancy.

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 9l, dropped back to 5½f) four weeks ago in a claimer; has winning track form; has to be feared as shown he can win fairly recently and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Jockey: Olaf Hernandez Trainer: Joel Martinez Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 2886-4

Comment: Could not manage better than fourth in an allowance race on debut for this trainer last month; four wins from 13 here; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and others appeal more.
