Comment: Last of eight in an allowance race at Thistledown last month; he meets the required standard ability wise; can have a big say if duplicating the form of his most recent win and was successful two starts back.

Comment: Last of ten over 5f at Gulfstream Park (claimer) in January; better than this level in his prime and grade looks suitable; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $6.3k); has had some time off; chance despite defeats on last two starts as he scored three runs back.

Comment: Not had much racing - third outing here; held when sixth beaten 12l at Laurel Park last month upped to this trip in a maiden claimer; drops to a $7.5k tag from $16k; should not be far away.

Comment: Consistent performer and best form so far in last two starts; beaten a head in a maiden claimer in October (Mountaineer Park) on debut for this trainer; returns from a layoff; claiming value now rises to $7.5k; chance as this doesn't look the strongest of heats and her latest run was promising.

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Tampa Bay Downs (beaten 4½l) in an optional claimer 52 days ago; managed two wins in her last five outings; others more appealing.

Uppity Up

Jockey: Huber Villa Gomez Trainer: W Bourke Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 55131-

Comment: Narrow scorer in a claimer in October; has chalked up three wins from her last six; a winner over C&D; returns from a break today; may have to settle for supporting role despite that win last time.

Verdict: JOYS OF SUMMER is the pick of these. She is chasing a second win over this C&D and she knows how to win. Perfect Pink and Momentous Miss could also have a role to play.

Momentous Miss

Jockey: Ronald Allen Jr Trainer: Margaret Cobb Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 3256-

7/4

Comment: One win to her name was achieved a fair way back; finished sixth, beaten 7l, in an allowance optional claimer in October; back from an absence here; claiming tag drops from $32k; if excused last two runs she would be interesting based on her second at Presque Isle Downs in September; looks a contender.

Last Glimmer

Jockey: Pablo Morales Trainer: Leland Hayes Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 5446-2

3/1

Comment: Finished ahead of three of these 14 days ago when beaten three-quarters of a length in a claimer; likes this combination of C&D; could go well as recent effort was encouraging and her jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Comment: Not many miles on the clock and showing consistent form; ran a solid race finishing third in a claimer at Tampa Bay Downs two months ago; in for a $6.3k tag so down in class ($8k last time); can be on the premises.

Comment: Winning form over C&D; finished third last month albeit only beaten just over 2l when separating a number of reopposing rivals in a claimer; capable if in the mood so in with big shout.

Comment: Flopped by finishing sixth when sent off 5-4 at Thistledown five weeks ago in a claimer; tag has been raised to $6.3k; others have more pressing claims as this is competitive.

Comment: Off the mark at the second time of asking when winning by 1l in October in a maiden claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $6.3k here; returns from a break here; should be thereabouts.

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 9l into fifth) in a claimer when dropped to 5½f splitting Last Glimmer, Joys Of Summer and Gio's My Dad on debut outing for new trainer last month; you have to go back a fair way to find her only win and no longer appears to be improving; not easy to fancy as looks more likely to place than win.

100/1

Comment: Was held in sixth in a claimer when dropped to 5½f on her debut for new trainer two weeks ago; been generally quiet since successful in a maiden claimer at Mountaineer Park in September and no longer appears to be improving; little chance as this claiming level has been beyond her recently.

Perfect Pink

Jockey: Antonio Gallardo Trainer: Tim Girten Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 1-7773

Comment: Respectable third over 5½f here (claimer) 13 days ago on debut for this trainer; class dropper as runs for a $6.3k tag here; her best form stacks up so looks like a player.

Thehillonwoodside

Jockey: Israel Rodriguez Trainer: Henry Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 655945

Comment: Subpar since successful in a maiden claimer at Horseshoe Indianapolis in October; finished last of five over 1m at Thistledown (claimer) last month; $6.3k claiming tag this time (up from $5k); makes limited appeal as this looks a fair heat.
