Verdict: MRS. KATZ is pretty solid on the strength of her latest effort and has been running consistently well. Serene Spirit, Madame Mischief and Victory Badge also have claims.

Victory Badge

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 6231-

Comment: Scored by a slim margin in an allowance optional claimer at Gulfstream Park in November; returns from a layoff; possibilities.

Serene Spirit

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Jorge Duarte Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 210-

Comment: 11th of 12 when dropped down to 6f in October at Belmont At The Big A in a Grade 3; not had much racing - fourth outing here; has scored over C&D; layoff to overcome; must be respected as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and shown she can win fairly recently.

Mrs. Katz

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Kathleen O'Connell Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 38424

Comment: Has maintained her consistent level of form and she meets the required standard ability wise; solid effort in an allowance race at Tampa Bay Downs last month; recent effort was creditable so has to be taken seriously.

Dyna Soar

Jockey: Jose Ferrer Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 6-411

Comment: Bidding for a hat-trick and has arguably shown improved form the last twice; got the job done in an optional claimer by a head (Tampa Bay Downs) 50 days ago; others more persuasive despite that win last time.

Madame Mischief

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Jorge Delgado Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 5-33

Comment: Produced an encouraging effort (third of ten, beaten just over 2l, Gulfstream Park) in February in an allowance optional claimer; has scored over C&D; normally pretty consistent; assuming she steps up from most recent effort then ought to be considered.

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; had something to spare at the finish when winning (Parx) five weeks ago in a maiden claimer; passed over as step up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher.

Singalong Kayla

Jockey: Christian Maragh Trainer: Tony Wilson Age/Wt: 6/8-2 F: 2-76

Comment: Successful three times from 21 career starts (5f-1m½f); has winning track form; behind Mrs. Katz 42 days ago when beaten 8l (Tampa Bay Downs) in an allowance race; concern she might not be fully tuned up so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Comment: Admirable career strike-rate (four from 19 to date); gained a just over 2l success over 6f at Parx (optional claimer) last month; steps up to allowance company; tried over an additional 2f now.

Comment: Fifth of nine beaten 7l over 5f at Meadowlands (maiden special weight) when not far behind Point To That Star in September; not yet off the mark in three attempts although has finished third; has had some time off; must be high on list.

Point To That Star

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 4-0884

Comment: Fair effort when beaten just under 5l, finishing fourth of nine over 5f at Gulfstream Park (maiden claimer) dropped back in distance last month; still winless and defeats stacking up (ten on the bounce); now racing on dirt for the first time; this demands more than last time so has some questions to answer.

I Can Explain

Jockey: Jorge Gonzalez Trainer: Patrick McBurney Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 34-7

Comment: Without a win in three attempts although has finished third and related to Stakes winner Cicciobello; last of seven in a maiden special weight at Tampa Bay Downs last month; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Anthony Margotta Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 2-38

Comment: Gained a first success at the third time of asking when in front by just under 3l four weeks ago at Tampa Bay Downs in a maiden claimer; Samuel Marin a noteworthy booking; claiming value rises from $25k last time; easy enough to take on as may find this tougher stepping out of maiden claiming company.

Verdict: ORATOR could be the main beneficiary if the front runners go too fast and his experience should be an advantage. We Live This Game, Razorcat and Arthur's Court can give the selection something to think about.

Razorcat

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Lindsay Schultz Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 83-54

Comment: American Freedom gets winners on the turf; respectable effort (beaten just under 4l) at Oaklawn Park two months ago in a maiden claimer; has shown some ability on occasion and must be considered.

Investment Mandate

Jockey: Samy Camacho Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Runners trained by Chad Brown are always worthy of attention in the betting first-time up; sibling of Exude (1m3f winner); sire does get winners on the turf; looks the part on breeding (by Constitution); should be thereabouts as some good aspects to his profile and stable is in good order.

Zevon

Jockey: Madeline Rowland Trainer: Danielle Hodsdon Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 3324-

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at ten; not beaten too far when fourth at Presque Isle Downs in a maiden special weight in October; returning from a layoff here; this looks a fair heat so easy to oppose.

Comment: Related to Grade 1 winner Colonel Liam; trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; sire gets turf winners; faces a demanding debut and a watching brief the best policy.

Yes My Lady Lino

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Tom Clark Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 43520-

Comment: Last of 12 at Gulfstream Park over 5f (allowance optional claimer, problems in the gate at the start) six months ago; likes this combination of C&D; he meets the required standard ability wise; back from an absence here; needs to be taken seriously despite defeat last time as finished second two runs back and peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 8/8-9 F: -8225

Comment: Performed at a higher level than this in his peak and grade looks suitable; not disgraced in fifth three weeks ago at Tampa Bay Downs in a claimer; now a lower claiming tag ($12.5k from $16k) so down in class; every chance.

Jockey: Jose Batista Trainer: Diane Morici Age/Wt: 9/8-9 F: 86-9

Comment: Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 10-37) but could be at the extent of his ability; beaten 15l into ninth over 1m at Laurel Park (optional claimer, sloppy track) last month; now down in class (in for $12.5k from $20k); makes limited appeal as no longer in his pomp.

Comment: A respectable runner-up of ten in a claimer (Tampa Bay Downs), finished ahead of Yono when returning to form after two disappointing runs 17 days ago; claiming tag rises from $10k last time; may have to settle for supporting role as no longer in his pomp.

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Kathleen DeMasi Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 6-74684

Comment: May not have any more improvement left and an infrequent winner; not beaten that far in fourth (3½l) in a claimer at Tampa Bay Downs (not far behind Venezuelan Triumph) last month; claiming value now rises to $12.5k; his best looks to be behind him and looks opposable.

English Painter

Jockey: Chantal Sutherland Trainer: Jorge Delgado Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 4-7

Comment: Beaten 7l in seventh (Gulfstream Park) on debut for this handler 21 days ago in a claimer; better than this level in his prime and successful three times from 13 career runs; claiming value now rises to $12.5k; needs considering if replicating best previous efforts and his last run (after a break) should have set him up for this.

Comment: Seventh beaten 7l in a claimer at Gulfstream Park in January; successful four times from 26 career starts (6f-1m½f); now down in class (in for $12.5k from $20k); definitely of interest as has bits and pieces of decent form and has previously gone well fresh off a break.

Comment: Third but only beaten just over 1l over 7f at Aqueduct (stakes) 21 days ago; two from three in his career so far and won a stakes in September; should not be far away as plenty to like about workout a week ago.

Verdict: EMIRATES HONOR is hard to look beyond. He is likely to run his race and ran with credit last time, while Gunnery Sergeant and Blue Marble should also be taken seriously.

Lock Barrel

Jockey: Dexter Haddock Trainer: Sergio Rabadan Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 64938-

Comment: Last of eight in August in a maiden claimer; improved form the last twice; returns from a break here; claiming value now drops to $10k; his claims aren't overly compelling.

Blue Marble

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Patrick McBurney Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 5/79-5

Comment: Beaten 16l in fifth in a maiden claimer at Tampa Bay Downs when dropped back to this trip last month; now eased in the grades (in for $10k); can be in the mix.

Dave The Great

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Claudio Gonzalez Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Yard among the winners with newcomers in recent seasons; related to 5½f winner Sweetcatherinerose; would be a surprise to see this one figure with others looking more obvious on paper.

Mine Seeker

Jockey: Melvis Gonzalez Trainer: Susan Crowell Age/Wt: 3/8-2 F: 335765

Comment: Tenth attempt to get off the mark; not disgraced when fifth in a maiden claimer at Parx two weeks ago; shown he can be competitive fairly recently and rates a likely contender.

Tabloid

Gunnery Sergeant

Jockey: Jorge Vargas Jr Trainer: E Hernandez Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 0

Comment: Comfortably beaten first time out at Gulfstream Park at 12-1 in January; in for a $10k tag so down in class ($35k last time); should not be far away.

Emirates Honor

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 2-53722

Comment: Ran encouragingly when just over 2l runner-up in a maiden claimer at Tampa Bay Downs last month; has been fairly consistent this year and has kicked on in his last couple of races; drops to a $10k tag from $16k; big player if building on last performance.
