Verdict: BETA is strongly fancied to come out on top. He likes to stalk the early speed and has won over this C&D. Golden Reign and Dynamite Karma are also of interest.

Sutton Breeze

Jockey: John Berrios Trainer: Arcadio Lopez Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: -1133

Comment: Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 10-29) and has been consistent of late; third here but only beaten just over 1l in an optional claimer (sloppy track) last month; likely player.

Almond Cider

Jockey: Keiber Coa Trainer: Ramon Vazquez Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 3353

Comment: Came home fifth, beaten 13l, over 6f here (claimer, sloppy track) four weeks ago; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role with a number of his rivals in good nick.

Co Conspirator

Jockey: Nazario Alvarado Trainer: Eduardo Jones Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 424525

Comment: Hasn't won for a while and form could be levelling off; finished last of five ten days ago (Belmont At The Big A) in a claimer; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $8k); others more likely.

Jockey: Inoel Beato Trainer: Leandro Barban Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 912611

Comment: Better than this level in his prime and bids to pull off a hat-trick; got home in front by just over 1l last month in an optional claimer; he shouldn't be far away.

Verdict: FORTY SMOOTH is expected to get the job done. She boasts a good career strike-rate and can show that a below-par effort last time was just a blip.

Melissa's Smile

Jockey: Heman Harkie Trainer: James Pettine Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 04-468

Comment: Last of seven here over 6f (claimer) behind Forty Smooth, in November; returns from a layoff; she can make a bold bid as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Forty Smooth

Jockey: Jose Baez Trainer: Dana Saul Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 5343-4

Comment: Comfortably beaten into fourth last month when dropped down to 6f in a claimer; career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 5-23) and smart performer at one stage; a leading player.

Traci's Girl

Jockey: Laird Bailey Trainer: Wayne Sparling Age/Wt: 9/8-12 F: 5-54

Comment: An infrequent winner and possible she has reached the ceiling of her ability; split a number of these rivals in a claimer when beaten 17l (fourth of six) last month; unlikely to make any impact.

Comment: Seven-race maiden but has managed to finish third; comfortably beaten finishing fourth on debut for this handler last Monday upped to 1m½f in a maiden special weight; passed over given many of his rivals are in good form.

Jockey: Luis Perez Trainer: M Ferraro Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 32-26

Verdict: RACERX has previous experience to his name and will benefit for having had racecourse experience. Luceo Non Uro, Salt Spartan and Nightmissio should also be considered.

Salt Spartan

Jockey: Luis Perez Trainer: William Bartlett Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Was a shade disappointing when fourth (9-5) on debut for this trainer last month in a maiden special weight; interesting that he was well backed last time and capable of going well.

Luceo Non Uro

Jockey: Jeremias Flores Trainer: Paul Barrow Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Paul Barrow newcomers always need to be taken seriously at Finger Lakes; needs considering with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire suggests the distance might suit.

Han O' War

Jockey: Heman Harkie Trainer: Paul Barrow Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 3-4

Comment: Solid run when fourth finished just ahead of Gonna Be Possible last month in a maiden special weight.

Racerx

Nightmissio

Jockey: Andre Worrie Trainer: Chris Englehart Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Shares a dam with Dashing d'Artagnan, a 1m winner; represents a stable with a strong record here with their newcomers; should be in the mix as yard is in good order and there is speed in the pedigree.

Divine Peace

Jockey: Inoel Beato Trainer: Leandro Barban Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 8

Comment: Seemed to find life tough on his debut in March at Tampa Bay Downs with blinkers fitted; nicely bred (by Caracaro); hard to make him a bet based on first race.
