9/4

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; appeared to be out of form prior to better effort last month when close second in a maiden claimer; claiming tag now upped to $7.5k; if he can build on his latest effort then one to watch out for.

Comment: Ran well when beaten a head with Musgrave just behind 19 days ago in a maiden claimer; has raised his game the last twice but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 12; not been able to get his head in front lately so looks opposable.

Above The Limit

Jockey: Gabriel Maldonado Trainer: Cathal Lynch Age/Wt: 7/8-7 F: 331-67

Comment: Close up behind Baby Blocks when seventh in an optional claimer at Gulfstream Park six months ago; better than this level in her pomp and she meets the required standard ability wise; returns from a break here; can figure given her record when fresh and she scored three runs back.
