Two Bronze Stars

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 6-154

11/8

Comment: Admirably consistent and multiple course winner; respectable fourth over 4½f here (allowance race) 21 days ago; form of the yard is a plus; leading contender.

Not So Holy

Jockey: Anthony Radcliffe Trainer: Daniel Mckenzie Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 23-74

2/1

Comment: Beaten fourth of six over 5½f at Laurel Park (claimer) 53 days ago; this is his level; should not be ruled out given there's a paucity of good recent form on offer in this contest and shown he can get his head in front.

Sea Of Tranquility

Jockey: Sunday Jr Diaz Trainer: Javier Contreras Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 233-11

9/2

Comment: Claimed a second C&D win last month when successful by half a length; bids for hat-trick; lower claiming tag shouldn't put you off so is capable of making an impact.

Ziggy Stardust

Jockey: Juan Nunez Trainer: Javier Contreras Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 1-688

7/1

Comment: Finished last of eight in an allowance race last month; no wins at this distance but grade looks suitable; first attempt in claiming company; shown he can get his head in front so should not be far away.

One Candy Castle

Jockey: James Adams Trainer: Scott Lane Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 4-4322

12/1

Comment: Turned in a solid effort in defeat three weeks ago, when runner-up (had Shoot The Breeze and My Buddy Duane behind) in a claimer; no longer appears to be improving; in for a $8k tag so up in class ($5k last time); been struggling to get his head in front recently so others more appealing.

Shoot The Breeze

Jockey: Victor Rodriguez Trainer: Kevin Joy Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 53-104

25/1

Comment: Beaten 9l in fourth in a claimer (split One Candy Castle and My Buddy Duane) last month; has chalked up two wins from his last six; higher claiming tag here so up in class; others appeal more.

33/1

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing fourth on his first start for this trainer 21 days ago in a claimer; down in class now, dropping from a $10k tag; a lot on his plate.

My Buddy Duane

Jockey: Marshall Mendez Trainer: Kevin Joy Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 6-6497

33/1

Comment: Subpar since successful in a claimer at Charles Town in November; behind two of these last month when seventh here in a claimer; now moved up in the grades (in for $8k); may have to settle for supporting role.
