Verdict: MONEY GAME has an obvious shout. He has shown a liking for this course and distance and has more scope than some of these. Rock Solo and Curvino should also be in the mix.

Money Game

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 1

Comment: Successful introduction scoring narrowly over C&D at 8-1 five weeks ago; from powerful stable and this son of Candy Ride looks the part on breeding; runs in claiming company for the first time; leading claims.

Rock Solo

Curvino

Jockey: Francisco Arrieta Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 1-236

Comment: Found life tough when 9l back in sixth at Turfway Park six weeks ago on first outing for new trainer in a Grade 3; brings winning C&D form to the table; he has a shout if replicating the best of his form and drop into claiming grade should help.

Jockey: Emmanuel Esquivel Trainer: Kenneth McPeek Age/Wt: 3/8-2 F: 13-52

Comment: Behind Rock Solo in an allowance optional claimer when close runner-up last month; a welcome return to form; few miles on the clock with this his fifth race; up in class (in for $150k here, $100k tag last time).

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; didn't run badly when 33-1 third in September at Canterbury Park in a handicap; claiming debut; returns from a layoff; stamina to prove at this trip so looks risky.

Lady Of Silence

La Fantastica

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 5-2253

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: Greg Compton Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 35-3

Comment: Has an impressive C&D record (five wins from ten runs); far from disgraced (beaten just over 5l) last month (Evangeline Downs) in an allowance optional claimer; now down in class (in for $10k from $15k); reunited with Francisco Arrieta, the pair have built a good partnership; looks likely to go well now stepping up in trip.

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 31-753

Comment: Enhanced C&D record to four wins from 14 33 days ago with a three-quarters of a length success; should figure as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field and she can handle the step up in class.

Ryno Wrecker

Jockey: Luis Quinonez Trainer: William Fires Age/Wt: 4/8-3 F: 0-45768

Comment: Beaten 19l when eighth of nine last month in a claimer; subpar since successful in a maiden special weight at Mahoning Valley in November; claiming value now drops to $12.5k; found this claiming level has been beyond him recently so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Comment: Not beaten far in a claimer with Hello Hot Rod just behind on first run for his current trainer 41 days ago; admirably consistent; now moved up in the grades (in for $12.5k); a leading contender if building on most recent effort and has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Baseball Politics

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 166-1

Comment: Has achieved ten wins from 36 career runs; narrow scorer in a claimer last month on debut for this trainer; deeper waters here (in for $12.5k here, $10k tag last time); makes limited appeal as best days now look to behind him.

Hello Hot Rod

Jockey: Alberto Pusac Trainer: Michael Hewitt Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 998585

Comment: Operating at a lower level than at his peak and grade looks suitable; fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing fifth of nine over 5½f here (claimer, close behind Worth Looking) a week ago; now moved up in the grades (in for $12.5k); definitely of interest.

Rocket Night

Comment: Unable to land a blow when eighth of 11 (sloppy track) four weeks ago on his first start for this trainer in a maiden claimer; has taken a step forward the last twice and can be a player at this level; failed to impress last time, although was third in March and no surprise to see him go well.

Comment: Beaten 12l on his debut in first-time blinkers here over 6f at 11-2 last month; looks the part on breeding (by Maximum Security) and represents a powerful stable; now a lower claiming tag ($12.5k from $80k) so down in class; poses a threat as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred son of Maximum Security.

Little Blaze

Jockey: Keith Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 11-122

Comment: A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 6-24; minor honours in an allowance race two weeks ago (9-4), finishing in front of several of these; likely to be a threat.

Bourbon Breeze

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: Rodolphe Brisset Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 7-231

Comment: Her three wins have all been over this trip; gained narrow success in a starter allowance dropped back in distance three weeks ago at Keeneland on debut for this trainer; passed over despite that win last time.

Dealing Justice

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 7/8-5 F: -3376

Comment: Last won over C&D in 2023 and a while since her last success; finished just behind Bennykayandsuzytoo when sixth in an allowance optional claimer (muddy track) five weeks ago; hard enough to fancy as has a lot on her plate here.

First Hill

Jockey: Emmanuel Esquivel Trainer: John Haran Age/Wt: 5/8-5 F: -060

Comment: Has managed six wins from 23 career runs but slumped a bit since winning an allowance optional claimer at Hawthorne in August; finished last of ten last month when she was behind several of these rivals in an allowance race; easy to oppose in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Bennykayandsuzytoo

Jockey: Walter De La Cruz Trainer: Thomas Vance Age/Wt: 5/8-0 F: 2543

Comment: On the premises when third of ten in an allowance race splitting Little Blaze, Spicy Delight and Insightful Miss two weeks ago; has been consistent of late and has a good record at this venue, including three course-and-distance wins; should give it a bold bid if building on last performance.

Insightful Miss

Jockey: Jane Elliott Trainer: Trisha Duncan Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 2-1518

Comment: Split a number of these rivals in an allowance race when beaten 15l 13 days ago; has scored over C&D; has chalked up two wins from her last three; this looks a decent race so not hard to turn elsewhere.

Amy Z

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: 4477-3

Comment: On the premises when third of eight (muddy track) last month in a claimer; possibilities if building on most recent effort and she can handle the step up in class.

Music Mistress

Spicy Delight

Jockey: Tyler Bacon Trainer: William Martin Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: 7222-4

Comment: Wins-runs record of 4-11; has largely been consistent of late; promoted from fifth to fourth in an allowance race two weeks ago on debut for this trainer; this is competitive and not easy to fancy.

Putting Eagle

Jockey: Abel Cedillo Trainer: Donnie Von Hemel Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: -2321

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; got the job done by just over 3l, breaking his duck at the seventh time of asking in a claiming maiden four weeks ago; others have more pressing claims as this step up from a maiden claimer looks tougher.

Kale's Angel

Comment: Going for a hat-trick and record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 5-10); landed Turfway Park stakes in good style six weeks ago; can be on the premises.

Wildncrazynight

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Dan Ward Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 1-4424

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 7l) in an allowance optional claimer last month; first-time blinkers now tried; should not be far away if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and he can cope with this step up in class.
