Verdict: OTTO gets the vote. He can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front and is expected to confirm authority with Southern Dream after they met last time out.

Otto

Jockey: Edgard Zayas Trainer: Carlos David Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 3-12

1/1

Comment: Beaten half a length here over 7f (claimer) when ahead of Southern Dream 41 days ago; C&D has proven suitable before; not had much racing - fourth outing here; can make his presence felt.

7/4

Comment: Achieved just the one win but this is his grade; not beaten too far when fifth here in a claimer last month; should be thereabouts.

Grand Avila

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Victor Barboza Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 61-8

6/1

Comment: Finished last of eight in January (behind Sweet Cha Cha) in a claimer; has won here before; related to Stakes winner Perfect Crime; eased in class with tag standing at $8k here; tries dirt for the first time; must be high on list as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and shown he can win fairly recently.

Wine Empire

Jockey: Elijah Greenidge Trainer: Mohamed Jehaludi Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 840-68

14/1

Comment: Sole victory becoming a distant memory and largely been out of sorts; finished eighth, beaten a fair way in a claimer on debut outing for new trainer when dropped down to 5½f last month; passed over.

Giuro

Jockey: Luca Panici Trainer: Joseph Catanese Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 008-7

16/1

Comment: Not disgraced when seventh of nine here over 5½f (claimer) dropped back in distance two months ago; been generally quiet since successful in a maiden claimer at Gulfstream Park last June; he can be taken on.

Southern Dream

Jockey: Yolber Torres Trainer: Pedro Garcia Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 6-556

33/1

Comment: Unable to land a blow when sixth of seven last month in a claimer; has won previously at this course; his claims aren't overly compelling.
