Nando

Jockey: Jesus Rios Trainer: Fernando Abreu Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 82-133

5/2

Comment: Finished third but only beaten just over 2l last month when little between him and Readier (fifth) in a claimer; now a lower claiming tag ($12.5k from $25k) so down in class; shown he can win fairly recently and should go close.

Readier

Jockey: Edgard Zayas Trainer: Mary Lightner Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 147-5

7/2

Comment: Held when fifth of six three weeks ago behind Nando, in a claimer; far from exposed and can be a player at this level; claiming tag drops to $12.5k (from $25k); can be in the mix if replicating the best of his form.

Road To Versailles

Jockey: Edwin Gonzalez Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 3567-2

11/2

Comment: Good effort when 2½l second over 5½f here (claimer) dropped back in distance on his first start for this trainer just ahead of Sir Banana Brian last month; up in class (in for $12.5k here, $8k tag last time); in with a big shout.

Comment: Not had much racing for his age; no impression when seventh of nine last month in an allowance optional claimer; this looks a fair heat so there are better alternatives here.

Our Legal Tender

Jockey: Rajiv Maragh Trainer: Jorge Delgado Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 93-3

9/1

Comment: Admirably consistent; respectable effort in a claimer last month on debut for this trainer; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so he's an attractive contender.

Mega Don

Jockey: Jose Morelos Trainer: Jose Pinchin Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: -7321

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; came good at the sixth time of asking last month scoring narrowly in a maiden claimer; easy enough to take on despite the last time out success.

Sir Banana Brian

Jockey: Edgar Perez Trainer: Daniel Hurtak Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 7-9550

Comment: Not always shown an awful lot since winning a maiden claimer at Gulfstream Park last June; finished 11th of 12 (behind Road To Versailles) last month in a claimer; in for a $12.5k tag so up in class ($8k last time); facing a testing assignment and hard to see him doing much.
