Verdict: MARION GRACE has an obvious shout. She might find the race opens up for her with the likelihood of plenty of competition for the lead and has won once over this C&D, while Pink Rose looks best of the rest.

Normandy Life

Jockey: Jordano Tunon Trainer: George Albright Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: -2064

Comment: Beaten 3½l 49 days ago when sent off 10-1 in an optional claimer; hit and miss profile recently and C&D winner although not added to that in previous eight tries; this line-up contains some strong opposition so not easy to fancy.

Three Polks

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 431-12

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; on target twice in her last three outings; beaten into second when 1-2 two months ago in an allowance race; jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and has to be taken seriously.

Undici

Jockey: David Cora Trainer: Juan Guerrero Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 64-929

Queen Wiggy

Jockey: Ricardo Chiappe Trainer: Panagiotis Synnefias Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 4-131

Comment: Resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a eighth career win); scored by a slim margin in an optional claimer five weeks ago; hard enough to fancy despite the last time out success.

Diane's Merlot

Jockey: Anthony Salgado Trainer: Michael Pino Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 623-

Comment: A close third in an optional claimer (Parx) in September; has maintained her consistent level of form; returns from a layoff; should give it a bold bid despite moving up in class and her latest run was promising.

King Of Hollywood

Jockey: Jorge Gonzalez Trainer: Daniel Siculietano Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 11136-

Comment: Came home sixth, beaten 18l, in a starter allowance (muddy track) at Parx four months ago; better than this level in his prime and a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 12-41; returns from a layoff; this is the only ride on the card for Jorge Gonzalez; he's worth a go.

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Cathal Lynch Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 159-67

Comment: Successful six times from 34 career outings (5½f-1m½f) and has proven competitive in a race of this nature; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Parx (beaten 6l) in a claimer three months ago; should figure if finding his best form.

Skellig Island

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 80-646

Comment: Recent form nothing to write home about and achieved just the one win; could not manage better than sixth over 1m at Aqueduct (claimer) 48 days ago; claiming value now drops to $5k; should be in the mix.

Comment: Caused a surprise when landing a maiden claimer over this distance by just under 5l 49 days ago; class dropper as runs for a $5k tag here; could be in the mix as jockey does well from inner gates here.

Jockey: Emilio Flores Trainer: Kevin Fields Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: -2222

Comment: You have to go back a fair way to find his only win but recent runs have been consistent; not beaten far when runner-up 49 days ago in a claimer; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then ought to be considered.

Red Abarrio

Jockey: Franklin Jr Gonzalez Trainer: Carlos Caban Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 36417

Comment: Last of seven (Parx, bumped at the start) last Wednesday in a claimer; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs and this is his grade; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $5k); a leading player if duplicating the form of his most recent win and he won a maiden claimer two runs back.

Jockey: Angel Castillo Trainer: Jonathanie Badillo Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 5-908

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 21l into eighth) at Parx over 6½f (claimer) on his first start for this trainer last week; slumped a bit since winning a maiden claimer at Parx in July but useful at this level; now a lower claiming tag ($4k from $7.5k) so down in class; tackling an extra 2f now.

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Elisha Perez Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 41-246

Comment: Had been doing well before disappointing effort latest; boasts winning form over C&D; held in sixth when dropped back to 6f 36 days ago in a claimer; others have more pressing claims.
