Gottagetitback

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 3-313

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from his last six; suited by this C&D; not beaten far when behind the reopposing Vroysky last month in a claimer; deeper waters here (in for $6.5k here, $4k tag last time).

Vroysky

Jockey: Edgar Paucar Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 214-1

Comment: Got the job done in a claimer by a short head last month; managed two wins in his last three outings; claiming tag rises from $4k last time; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and not one to rely on.

Caboose

Jockey: Ricardo Barrios Trainer: Denis Cluley Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 23-519

Comment: Last of nine over 5½f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (claimer, sloppy track) two weeks ago; can be a player at this level; he shouldn't be far away if finding his best form and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Westward Look

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Burton Sipp Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 113-

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten just over 5l) in a starter allowance in September; a C&D winner; returns from an absence here; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so hard to ignore.

Monje Solaia

Jockey: Luis Tapara Trainer: Juan Aguirre Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 99-331

Comment: Caused a shock when scoring at 16-1 in a claimer four weeks ago; claiming tag now upped to $6.5k; can only watch despite that win last time.

Hijack The Party

Jockey: Charle Oliveros Trainer: Hugo Andrade Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 88141

Comment: Has managed four wins from 14 career runs; scored by just over 4l last month at Belterra Park in a claimer; win last time suggests he can handle the step up in class so can't be ruled out.

Button Box

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Crystal Richison Age/Wt: 10/8-8 F: 1-

Alfie Solomons

Jockey: Bailey Weatherly Trainer: Crystal Richison Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 4-39221

Verdict: FLYING TO NEPTUNE is top of the list. She is a winner and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick. Machen Reigns can give the selection most to think about.

Xtended Streak

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Jami Poole Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 557-6

Comment: Behind several of these over 5½f here (allowance optional claimer) when beaten 21l four weeks ago; a while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023); now switched to turf for the first time; makes limited appeal as this is competitive.

Flying To Neptune

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 57-74

Comment: Returned to winning ways in a claimer when successful by just over 5l last month at Belterra Park upped to 1m; up in class but should give it a bold bid.

Summerstateofmind

Jockey: Anthony Radcliffe Trainer: Michelle Knoblauch Age/Wt: 4/8-3 F: 30860

Comment: Finished last of ten (bobbled at the start) at Parx when getting across to lead early from a wide stall two months ago in a claimer; a winner three times from 25 runs (5f-7f); can be in the mix as shown promise on occasion and lower claiming tag should make this easier.

Comment: Last of six behind two of these two months ago in a claimer; last won over C&D in 2022 and subpar since successful in a claimer at Mountaineer Park last July; now looks to be past his prime and looks opposable.

Comment: Held when fifth beaten 24l in October in a claimer; excellent in his prime and good C&D record (four wins); claiming tag drops to $4k (from $6.5k); layoff to overcome; should be on the premises as he goes well fresh.

Surf Happy

Comment: Generally consistent and seems to be improving based on last two runs; better was expected when beaten 8l six weeks ago just ahead of Maybe Sardonic in a maiden special weight; strong contender.

Fieldstone

Jockey: Mauro Cedillo Trainer: Krista Hetrick Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 231-2

Comment: Has winning form at this track; produced several respectable runs lately; turned in a solid effort in defeat 14 days ago, when second in an allowance optional claimer (sloppy track, had two of these rivals behind); now looks to be past his prime and hard to recommend.

Don Tequilas

Jockey: Luis Rivera Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 1-55

Comment: Has proven competitive in a race of this nature; fair effort when beaten 6l, finishing fifth of seven at Parx four months ago (muddy track) in an allowance optional claimer; returns from a layoff; Anthony Farrior's runners are going great guns at the moment; capable if in the mood so no surprise if he has a big say.

Courthouse Cove

Jockey: Brandon Tapara Trainer: Larry Reed Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 211-46

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from his last four; a C&D winner; out of the frame (beaten 8l in sixth, sloppy track) when not far behind Fieldstone (runner-up) and Florida Gator (third) 14 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; this is competitive and looks risky.

Boudin

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Krista Hetrick Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 16117-

Comment: Behind Fieldstone in an allowance race (Mahoning Valley) when finishing last of seven back down to this trip in November; a winner over this C&D; unbeaten at this C&D after two runs; returning from a layoff here; productive partnership with Yan Aviles, who retakes the mount; must go on the shortlist.

Florida Gator

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 4753

Comment: Has achieved seven wins from 30 career runs; split Fieldstone and Courthouse Cove in an allowance optional claimer (sloppy track) when beaten just under 5l to finish third 14 days ago; makes limited appeal as no longer in his pomp.

Jockey: Ricardo Barrios Trainer: Virginia Demczyk Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 545-8

Comment: Split a number of these rivals on debut for new trainer 29 days ago when dropped down to 5½f in a claimer; winner of five starts (range of trips from 5½f to 1m½f) and one-time useful performer; if replicating best previous efforts in the mix.

Comment: Not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win 837 days ago) and could be at the extent of his ability; beaten 11l (sloppy track) 15 days ago in a claimer; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as no longer in his pomp.

Comment: Does not win very often but better than this level in his pomp; beaten 15l in fifth in a claimer in December upped to 1m½f; drops in trip; back from an absence here.

Comment: Found life tough when 27l back in eighth in a claimer in December; no longer appears to be improving but can be a player at this level; down in distance.
