2/1

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from his last five; got the job done by just over 2l (Presque Isle Downs) six months ago in an allowance race; first attempt in claiming company; returns from a break today; plenty of appeal.

Souper Dormy

Jockey: Edwin Gonzalez Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 6512-5

11/4

Comment: Better than this level in his prime and he meets the required standard ability wise; not beaten too far when fifth of seven in an optional claimer five weeks ago; needs considering as shown he can get his head in front and this step up in class unlikely to hinder him.

5/1

Comment: Not beaten far when third last month in an allowance optional claimer; has won over C&D; his best looks to be behind him and there are better alternatives here.

Comment: Finished last of seven over 1m½f here (claimer) on debut for new trainer five weeks ago; down in class now, dropping from a $35k tag; others are preferred.
