Comment: Last of eight in a claimer at Laurel Park last month when dropped in distance on debut for this trainer; now down in class (in for $7.5k from $16k); has shown signs of promise here and there and has to be high on list.

Mad Banker

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 165182

Comment: Wins-runs record of 4-19; turned in a solid effort in defeat 27 days ago, when second (had Collection Day (third) and Fear Of Union (fourth) behind) in an optional claimer; peak figure in the past year is the best in the field so shouldn't be far away.

Jockey: Raul Mena Trainer: Michael Gorham Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 3434

Comment: Produced several respectable runs lately; achieved each of his three career wins at Laurel Park; was held in fourth last month at Penn National in an allowance race; he can be taken on as best days now look to behind him.

Jockey: Sara Hess Trainer: Johnathon Feron Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 393286

Comment: Possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability and form has been a bit mixed lately; finished last of six here over 6f (claimer) four weeks ago, behind Majestic Tiger; hard to see him involved as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

Foggy Dew

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: Eveline Kjelstrup Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 2-133

Comment: Lightly raced with this just his fifth appearance; not disgraced when third at Laurel Park 46 days ago in an allowance race; more than capable if on song so should go close.

Waldrip

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 17-43

Comment: Could not manage better than third over 1m here (allowance race) last month; successful four times from 13 career runs; has to be considered.

Town's Warrior

Jockey: Carlos Lopez Trainer: Timothy Kreiser Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 332211

Comment: Came out on top by 2½l at Penn National last month in an allowance race; from a respected trainer and goes for a hat-trick today; much respected.

Bill Of Rights

Jockey: Tais Lyapustina Trainer: Joanne Shankle Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 41431

Comment: Narrow success in an optional claimer at Laurel Park last month; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 5-22); rates a likely contender.

Frosty The Giant

Jockey: Paul Obregon Luna Trainer: Kelly Deiter Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 09234

Comment: Three-time winner in his career (from 5f-1m½f); producing fairly consistent form; not disgraced when fourth in an optional claimer last month; not hard to turn elsewhere as a few rivals look in good form.

Verdict: PINOTSLILGIRL is the pick of these. She looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and is a one-time course winner. Popover Gal represents a threat.

Edge Of Town

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Bobbi Hawthorne Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 121118

Comment: Flopped by finishing eighth when sent off 13-8 in an allowance optional claimer (Parx) last month; admirable career strike-rate (five from 18 to date); drops in trip.

Chipotle Pepper

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 11661

Comment: In very good heart of late and all her winning form has come at or around this trip; successful by just over 5l in a claimer when getting across to lead early from a wide stall last month; claiming tag rises to $20k here; despite that Delaware Park success, others appeal more.

Devil Pays In Gold

Jockey: Carlos Lopez Trainer: Kieron Magee Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 1-2212

Comment: Went down by just under 3l when second last month behind You're The One in an optional claimer; has chalked up two wins from her last five; recent runs have been consistent; must go on the shortlist.

Popover Gal

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Jorge Diaz Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: -44112

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; on target three times in her last six outings; close up runner-up (sloppy track) at Parx last month in an optional claimer; a likely player.

Skip Thru Da Fire

Jockey: Brinton Arnold Trainer: Jose Corrales Age/Wt: 4/7-12 F: 54U0

Comment: Beaten a long way in an optional claimer (Laurel Park) last month; winner of five starts (range of trips from 6f to 1m) but struggled a bit since winning an allowance race at Laurel Park in April; a lot on her plate here and looks opposable.

Pinotslilgirl

Jockey: Tais Lyapustina Trainer: Joanne Shankle Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 124081

Comment: Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 6-20); narrow scorer in an optional claimer (sloppy track) on first run for current trainer last Wednesday; warrants plenty of respect as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months.
