Comment: Beaten 14l dropped down to 6f 16 days ago in a claimer; successful twice in his last five starts; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; down in class now, dropping from a $7.5k tag; one to consider.

Comment: Finished in front of Lucky Andy and Bless The Kitten in a claimer when on the premises, finishing second at 9-2 last month; performed at a higher level than this in his peak and successful four times from 5f to 1m; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so he's worth a go.

EW Places: 1/4 ODDS - 2 PLACES

Verdict: It is hard to get away from FASTER. He can bounce back from a below-par effort latest and he knows how to win. Improbable First is another for the shortlist.

Ramsey

Jockey: Alexander Chavez Trainer: Jabdiel Castillo Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 12434

2/1

Comment: He can be competitive at this level; not disgraced in fourth in a claimer 14 days ago; claiming tag drops to $7.5k (from $12.5k); likely player if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

Improbable First

Jockey: Luis Rivera Trainer: Michael Rone Age/Wt: 3/8-3 F: 099941

7/2

Comment: Got home in front by 1½l here over 5½f (claimer) five weeks ago, ending losing run; must be respected as his jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D.

Domi

5/1

Comment: Finished third but wasn't beaten too far (7l) in an optional claimer 16 days ago; has scored over C&D; passed over.

Photo Hop

Jockey: Angel Diaz Trainer: Jabdiel Castillo Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 22166

5/1

Comment: Finished behind Ramsey two weeks ago when beaten 16l (sixth of seven) in a claimer; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $7.5k); others are preferred.

Leavenworth

Jockey: Victor Fernandez Trainer: John Erdel Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 4184-1

13/2

Comment: Came out on top by just over 2l in a claimer (Mahoning Valley) five months ago; can boast winning form over this C&D; on target twice in his last four outings; claiming tag rises from $5k last time; returns from a layoff here; others more persuasive despite that win at Mahoning Valley.

Stevie T

Jockey: Ricardo Feliciano Trainer: Rodney Faulkner Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 146-5

9/1

Comment: This C&D holds no fears; last of five in a claimer (sloppy track) when behind two of these last month; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as has a lot on his plate here.

Rule It

Jockey: Noel Vigil Trainer: Enrique Lopez Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 5-5824

9/1

Comment: Split Ramsey and Stevie T (sloppy track) when beaten 23l four weeks ago on first run for this trainer in a claimer; may have reached limits of his ability and doesn't win often; this looks a fair heat so others are preferred.

Faster

Jockey: Jose Bracho Trainer: Jennifer Tooley Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 0-1236

Comment: Could not manage better than sixth over 6f at Turfway Park (claimer) in March; useful in this grade; plenty of appeal as shown he can win fairly recently.
