Verdict: C F V BULLET is a firm selection. He has shown he can get his head in front and is proven at the trip. Lucky Boss and Larry The Poet could also have a role to play.

Global Empire

Jockey: Ademar Santos Trainer: Ida Spagnola Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 45357

Comment: Finished last of seven (Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing) last month in an optional claimer; last won over C&D two years ago; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and others make more appeal.

C F V Bullet

Jockey: Orlando Mojica Trainer: Hugo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 0106-

Comment: He can be competitive at this level and performed at a higher level than this in his peak; not disgraced when sixth (Oaklawn Park) six months ago in a claimer; has had some time off; needs to be taken seriously as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Lucky Boss

Jockey: Santiago Gonzalez Trainer: Hugo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 542005

Comment: Failed to land a blow when fifth of seven at Horseshoe Indianapolis four weeks ago in a claimer; one-time useful operator; definitely of interest as has bits and pieces of decent form and his latest performance on the clock offers hope he can cope with the tag rise.

Larry The Poet

Jockey: Reynier Arrieta Trainer: Jose Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 55-375

Comment: Has winning track form; normally pretty consistent; fair effort when beaten just under 4l at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing over 6f (allowance optional claimer) six weeks ago; should be thereabouts if building on last performance.

Lavender Earl

Jockey: Carlos Ulloa Trainer: Carlos Ramirez Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 8-6562

Comment: Was on the premises (finished runner-up of five) in a claimer last month; last won over C&D in 2022 and a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2022); now looks to be past his prime and easy enough to take on.

Regimental

Jockey: Alexis Centeno Trainer: Eduardo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 482514

Comment: C&D has proven suitable before; beaten 9l when fourth of six in a claimer last month; higher claiming tag here so up in class; others are preferred.

Handsoffthegoods

Jockey: Frank Reyes Trainer: Irvin Moreno Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 53-473

Comment: Has scored over C&D; unable to land a blow when third of five two weeks ago in an optional claimer; claiming value rises from $10k last time; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: LAST MINUTE is strongly fancied to come out on top. He is a winner and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed.

Red Rizzler

Jockey: Santiago Gonzalez Trainer: Rigo Rosas Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 6-52212

Comment: Has won previously at this course; has displayed improved form on last two starts; was on the premises (second, beaten 2l) in a claimer finished just ahead of Regained Power last month; now down in class (in for $15k from $20k); not discounted.

Regained Power

Jockey: Julio Felix Trainer: Eduardo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 337163

Comment: Finished behind Red Rizzler dropped down to this distance when third of five four weeks ago in a claimer; drops to a $15k tag; has to be considered as his jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D and shown he can win fairly recently.

Durango Chrome

Jockey: Valentin Esquivel Trainer: Anthony Blea Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 532225

Comment: Beaten 10l into fifth at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing over 6f (claimer) last month; in good form before making a backwards step last time out but has a record of 1-16; first attempt on turf; $15k claiming tag this time (up from $5k); meeting some horses in good form and has some questions to answer.

Freedom Empire

Jockey: Frank Reyes Trainer: Heriberto Villalobos Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 258615

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; problems in the gate at the start in a claimer when tailed off last month; up in class (in for $15k here, $5k tag last time); facing a testing assignment and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Last Minute

Jockey: Orlando Mojica Trainer: Larry Rivelli Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 1-8

Comment: Last of eight 28 days ago in an allowance race; lightly raced with this just his fourth appearance; from powerful trainer; first attempt at a claimer; strong claims if excused most recent run as achieved maiden special weight success two runs back and shown he can get his head in front.

A P Blazing Green

Jockey: Ademar Santos Trainer: Fernando Alonso Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 47-85

Comment: Last C&D win was seven attempts back; fifth beaten 9l in a claimer six weeks ago; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; if replicating best previous efforts ought to be competitive.

Remember The Fear

Jockey: Javier Tavares Trainer: John Haran Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 3696

Comment: Came home sixth, beaten 6l, in a claimer 49 days ago; managed just one success in his career to date and form has been a bit up and down of late; tag has been dropped to $15k; others have more pressing claims.

Lone Return

Jockey: Brittany Troxtell Trainer: Fernando Alonso Age/Wt: 5/8-2 F: 64561

Comment: Has raised his game the last twice; won with something to spare in a maiden claimer upped to 1m last month opening his account on debut for this trainer; hard to ignore as recent win suggests he can handle the step up in class.
