Comment: Solid effort when beaten 4½l to finish second five weeks ago in a claimer; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; regularly been coming up a bit short lately so unlikely to trouble the principals.

Dirty Rich

Jockey: Florent Geroux Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Outrageously

Comment: Not disgraced when third two weeks ago in an allowance race; running consistently; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV.

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 5-1

Comment: Readily accounted for rivals at Oaklawn Park (sloppy track) when getting off the mark at the second time of asking last month in a maiden special weight; has to be feared.

Comment: Beaten 14l into seventh over 1m here (claimer) four weeks ago on debut for this trainer; Abel Cedillo here for one ride; claiming value now drops to $16k; hard enough to fancy.

8/1

Comment: Ahead of Spoonie and Rivetage when sixth (beaten 11l) here over 1m (claimer) four weeks ago; may still have more to offer with few miles on the clock; he should go close as lower claiming tag should make this easier and his most recent trackwork was pleasing.

10/1

Comment: First-time blinkers no help in a claimer at Keeneland when finishing last of four two months ago on debut for this trainer; remains far from exposed; eased in class with tag standing at $16k here; only female in race; prospects if in the same form she showed when winning three starts back and her most recent trackwork was pleasing.

Comment: One win to his name was achieved a fair way back; finished behind Jr's Gift here over 1m1f (claimer) when beaten 14l two weeks ago; others more likely as has not been able to land a meaningful blow at this level recently.

Jr's Gift

Jockey: Edgar Morales Trainer: Lon Wiggins Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 8-55962

Comment: Produced a good effort to finish runner-up in a claimer on his debut for this trainer two weeks ago; achieved only a sole win; not hard to turn elsewhere as now looks to be past his prime.

Quebrancho

Jockey: Gabriel Saez Trainer: J Sweezey Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 68-085

Comment: A few throw outs since his success in a maiden special weight at Belterra Park in September; found life tough when 10l back in fifth here over 6f (claimer) three weeks ago on debut for this trainer; drops to a $16k tag from $20k; passed over.
