Verdict: SUREMEANTTOOBE is fancied for this. He should be able to confirm placings with Elon and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed.

Elon

Jockey: Jose Betancourt Trainer: Fenneka Bentley Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 56-33

Comment: Not far behind Suremeanttoobe when third last month in a maiden special weight; seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice but proving a little expensive to follow; wears first-time blinkers.

Suremeanttoobe

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 2322

Comment: Was on the premises (runner-up, beaten just under 2l) in a maiden special weight with Elon just behind four weeks ago; has shown some recent improvement; recent display was promising so must be considered.

Stanza

Jockey: Ismerio Villalobos Trainer: Elizabeth Merryman Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Related to 1m½f winner Sea Shanty; sire does get winners on the turf; recent workouts point to readiness; no surprise to see him go well with signs of encouragement in profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Mantua Man

Jockey: Jean Briceno Trainer: Milan Milosevic Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 9/68-3

Comment: Far from exposed and shown recent signs of improvement; problems at the start (bumped) in a maiden claimer when dropped down to this trip 28 days ago.

Comment: Problems at the start (awkward break) last February on his first start for this trainer when last of six in a maiden claimer; has a long absence to overcome; easy to oppose as headgear must spark improvement.

Verdict: MAINSTREAM SELLOUT has shown she can get her head in front and was held up in traffic last time. Major Houlihan should also be taken seriously.

Mainstream Sellout

Jockey: Victor Carrasco Trainer: Niall Saville Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 895-

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten a fair way in a claimer (muddy track) in November; she meets the required standard ability wise and winner of three races (5f-1m½f); moves down to an easier grade (in for $5k); returns from a break today; leading contender granted a bit more luck as didn't get the rub of the green last time and shown she can get her head in front.

The Haunted Room

Jockey: Horacio Karamanos Trainer: Sergio Pradenas Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 5-96422

Comment: Unfancied when going close in a claimer three weeks ago; specialist here with four wins but possible she has reached the ceiling of her ability; regularly been coming up a bit short lately so others are preferred.

Loving Cup

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Hugh McMahon Age/Wt: 7/8-4 F: -3443

Comment: Producing consistent form and knows this place inside out (three course wins); not far behind Major Houlihan when third in April in a claimer; now down in class (in for $5k from $7.5k); no surprise to see her go well as she can go well fresh.

Comment: Was sixth of ten, beaten 8l, two weeks ago in an optional claimer; she can be competitive at this level; class dropper as runs for a $5k tag here; likely to be a threat as shown she can get her head in front.

Gold Time Vixen

Jockey: Matilda Burnham Trainer: Willie Kee Age/Wt: 7/8-4 F: 7054

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth of six (sloppy track) last month (Delaware Park) in a claimer; may have reached limits of her ability and quite a while since she tasted success; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and best left.

Comment: Not far behind Yes This Time when last 25 days ago (Monmouth Park) in a starter handicap; operating at a lower level than at his peak and useful at this level; one to consider if excused most recent run as achieved optional claimer success two runs back and shown he can win fairly recently.

Comment: Has achieved eight wins from 32 career runs; recent form has a decent look to it; respectable effort finishing fourth (beaten just over 4l) when close behind Bill Of Rights last month in an optional claimer; this looks a fair heat so hard to recommend.

Jockey: Carlos Lopez Trainer: Elizabeth Mccue Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 360-34

Comment: Respectable effort in defeat (beaten just over 2l) last month (split Kendama and Sell Something) in an optional claimer; form has been up and down of late and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2021); easy enough to take on given the strong opposition here.

Sir Chance A Lot

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Hugh McMahon Age/Wt: 3/7-10 F: 16647

Comment: Hasn't really fired since his success in a maiden claimer at Laurel Park five months ago; held when seventh beaten 7l 40 days ago at Pimlico in a claimer; claiming value now drops to $12.5k; others more persuasive.

Comment: This C&D holds no fears; has been consistent of late; good effort when just over 1l runner-up in an optional claimer (had Night Preacher (fifth) and Gentle Breeze (last) behind) two weeks ago; now down in class (in for $16k from $20k).

Verdict: FALCON BLUE gets the vote. He can prove a below-par latest run was just a blip, while Big Tankness and Tell 'Em I'm Comin are also of interest.

Big Tankness

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Stable does well here with debutants; definite chance as some good aspects to his profile and there is speed in the pedigree.

Falcon Blue

Jockey: Forest Boyce Trainer: Timothy Keefe Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 35337

Comment: Held when seventh beaten 9l in a maiden special weight upped to 1m 25 days ago; best form so far in last two starts; previous run was disappointing, but finished third two starts back; holds leading claims.

Comment: First public outing for this three-year-old son of More Than Ready; remains to be seen whether he'll be clued up enough to get off the mark - the advice is to watch the betting.

Tell 'em I'm Comin

Jockey: Jorge Hernandez Trainer: Jose Corrales Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 04

Comment: Fourth but only beaten just under 2l (sloppy track) at Pimlico 36 days ago in a maiden claimer; losing run stretches to 21; has claims despite being up in class and his last run was encouraging.
