Verdict: SEA SHANTY looks a solid choice. She should be forgiven a disappointing latest run and she knows how to win. Spooky Gal and Sadie's Grace are among the dangers.

Ecliptical Gina

Jockey: Ricardo Chiappe Trainer: Flint Stites Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 421735

Comment: Finished in front of two of these here over 5f (optional claimer) when beaten 3½l in fifth last month; her best form stacks up so could have a say.

Spooky Gal

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Jr Edward Coletti, Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 6219

Comment: Beaten 6l into ninth at Delaware Park upped to this trip last month in an allowance race; has raised her game the last twice; looks likely to be involved if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and she didn't get much luck in running last time.

Sea Shanty

Jockey: Jomar Torres Trainer: Elizabeth Merryman Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 61-28

Comment: Was eighth of 12, beaten 8l, in a claimer at Laurel Park four weeks ago; she's worth a go if duplicating the form of her most recent win.

Jockey: Emilio Flores Trainer: Erin McClellan Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 36-222

Comment: Fair form when 6l second in an optional claimer (sloppy track) upped to this distance 21 days ago; likely to be thereabouts.

Jockey: Leonardo Corujo Trainer: Naoise Agnew Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 5-563

Comment: Wasn't beaten that far when third (beaten 3½l) in May on her debut for this trainer in a claimer; just the one win to her name; now running on turf for the first time.

Comment: Opened account at the fourth time of asking in a maiden claimer at Laurel Park two weeks ago when springing a 22-1 surprise upped to 1m; despite that Laurel Park success, one to tread carefully with.

Golden Style

Jockey: Maicol Inirio Trainer: Flint Stites Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 166658

Comment: Unable to land a blow when eighth of nine last month in an optional claimer; not always shown an awful lot since winning a maiden special weight at Penn National in February; others appeal more given this looks a decent race.

Verdict: LAUGHING FIT will go well if repeating the sort of form she showed in her latest exploits and the abundance of pace up front enhances her claims. Gala Dancer is also respected.

Gala Dancer

Jockey: Maicol Inirio Trainer: Flint Stites Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 542

Comment: Produced an encouraging effort (second of seven, beaten just under 3l) over 5f here (maiden claimer) 33 days ago; lightly raced (this just her fourth race); in for a $10k tag so down in class ($25k last time); jockey booking is a positive; rates a likely contender.

Juno Skye Dancer

Comment: Faces a demanding debut and a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Laughing Fit

Jockey: David Cora Trainer: Mark Salvaggio Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: -7737

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice and can be a player at this level; fair effort two weeks ago at Delaware Park in a maiden claimer; claiming value now drops from $20k; plenty of appeal if confirming promise shown last time.

Tapas Warrior

Jockey: Yabriel Ramos Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 32539

Comment: Ninth of 11 beaten 7l in blinkers (Presque Isle Downs) a week ago in a maiden claimer; seems to be improving based on last two runs; claiming tag now upped to $10k; the Brandon Kulp outfit is running hot currently; has shown signs of promise here and there and is a player.

Comment: Without a win after nine runs; was held in seventh here over 5f (maiden claimer) last month; now down in class (in for $10k from $25k); hard enough to fancy.

Fatalist

Jockey: Ricardo Chiappe Trainer: George Albright Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 58

Comment: Few miles on the clock with this her third race; finished just behind Sandy Girl when last over 5f here (maiden claimer) last month; calmer waters here (in for $10k, $25k tag last time); may not be up to this.

Zippy Do Da Day

Jockey: Inoel Beato Trainer: Jose Samaniego Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 22-223

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice and mostly consistent recently; beaten into third when 7-4 last month at Delaware Park in a maiden claimer; assuming she steps up from most recent effort then warrants respect.

Mummalicious

Jockey: Jomar Torres Trainer: Kathleen DeMasi Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 346-42

Comment: Long-term maiden (0-9) but has found improvement of late; ahead of Tapas Warrior and Fatalist when runner-up (beaten just under 2l, lunged at the start) four weeks ago in a maiden claimer; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so needs to be respected.

Goodbye

Jockey: David Cora Trainer: Bernard T Houghton Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 364

Comment: Some promise; closest he has come to winning after five starts was a third; not beaten too far (4l) in a maiden claimer on first run for current trainer after showing little previously 49 days ago; deeper waters here (in for $25k here, $16k tag last time); concern he might not be fully tuned up so others more appealing.
