Verdict: MANSFIELD TIGER is hard to look beyond. He is taken to come out on top off the back of his latest effort and can reverse last time's placings with Basscoat.

Bold Spirit

Jockey: Emmanuel Esquivel Trainer: Cipriano Contreras Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 2413-0

Comment: Finished tailed off over 1m½f here (allowance race) four weeks ago; grade looks suitable; hard to dismiss if replicating the best of his form.

Basscoat

Jockey: Alberto Burgos Trainer: Michael Lauer Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 78-441

Comment: Multiple course winner; back in the winners' enclosure when winning by 1l beating three of these rivals in an optional claimer last month upped to 1m½f; despite that Horseshoe Indianapolis success, looks risky.

Comment: Beaten 1l when runner-up here over 1m½f (optional claimer) behind Basscoat last month; a prolific C&D winner and better than this level in his prime; should have every chance if replicating most recent run.

Rich Kingdom

Jockey: Jose Gutierrez Trainer: Donna Riley Age/Wt: 8/8-0 F: 3657

Comment: Last of seven back down to 6f last month in an allowance optional claimer; patchy form recently and may have reached limits of his ability; now eased in the grades (in for $12.5k); now looks to be past his prime and others more persuasive.

Jockey: Evin Roman Trainer: Scott Mullins Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 644

Comment: Solid run when fourth here over 1m½f (claimer) last month; achieved three wins at this venue but largely disappointing since successful in an allowance race at Horseshoe Indianapolis 12 months ago; up in class (in for $12.5k here, $5k tag last time); a lot on his plate here and has some questions to answer.

Jockey: Santo Sanjur Trainer: Israel Garcia Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 21443

Comment: Producing consistent form and likes it here (three wins); third behind Basscoat in an optional claimer upped to 1m½f last month; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and not easy to fancy.

Jockey: Jose Gutierrez Trainer: Michael Lauer Age/Wt: 4/8-2 F: 696-97

Comment: Unable to land a blow in seventh in a maiden claimer upped to 1m behind Small Town Accent, six weeks ago; yet to open her account after ten starts and recent form hardly the most inspiring; vastly reduced claiming tag raises a question mark so she can be taken on.

Winters Lion

Jockey: Jaime Torres Trainer: Aaron Shorter Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 35434

Comment: Beaten 9l (fourth) in an allowance optional claimer (Churchill Downs) three weeks ago on debut for this trainer; this line-up contains some strong opposition so is passed over.

Comment: Last of six in a Grade 3 at Monmouth Park (sloppy track) three weeks ago; has won previously at this course; quality operator in his prime; could go well if replicating best previous efforts and down in class to claiming company.

Verdict: KANT BEAT THE ROCK is fancied for this. He likes to stalk the early speed and will hope to be granted a clearer passage after encountering trouble in running last time, while Hold Your Applause and Del Rayo should also be in the mix.

Ransomware

Jockey: Santo Sanjur Trainer: Ismael Bahena Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 511185

Comment: All four wins around this trip and he meets the required standard ability wise; fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing fifth of seven in an optional claimer at Belterra Park upped to 1m½f (sloppy track) 19 days ago; should go close.

Tiverton

Jockey: Carlos Barbosa Trainer: Joel Delacruz Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 6465

Comment: Not really built on success in a claimer in February at Fair Grounds; came home fifth, beaten 30l, (behind Boitano) last month in an optional claimer; hard to make a case for him in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Kant Beat The Rock

Jockey: Jaime Torres Trainer: Joe Sharp Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 44485

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when fifth of seven in a claimer (Churchill Downs) last month on debut for this trainer; better than this level in his prime; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $8k); major player as shown some ability on occasion and he didn't get much luck in running last time.

Comment: Finished third but wasn't beaten too far (7l, Belterra Park) five weeks ago in an allowance race; others more persuasive.

Take Shape

Jockey: Jaime Torres Trainer: Joe Sharp Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 80-395

Comment: Bobbled at the start at Churchill Downs last month when beaten 10l in a claimer; three-time winner in her career (from 6½f-1m½f); now eased in the grades (in for $12k); could be hard to beat despite defeat last time as ran well at Turfway Park three runs back and jockey does well from inside draws here.

Enticing Sunset

Jockey: Alex Achard Trainer: Karyn Wittek Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: -5611

Comment: Wins-runs record of 4-14 and on a hat-trick after last win; landed Belterra Park optional claimer in good style last month; claiming tag drops from $12.5k; others more appealing despite that win last time.

Timeless Rose

Jockey: Marcelino Jr Pedroza Trainer: Anthony Granitz Age/Wt: 8/8-7 F: 7312

Comment: Boasts winning form over C&D; performed at a higher level than this in her peak; had a couple of these behind her when second here in May in an optional claimer; tag has been dropped to $12k; looks likely to go well.

Keen Ice Sight

Jockey: Joel Albornoz Trainer: Raymond Paquette Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 212-31

Comment: Has achieved seven wins from 29 career runs; gained narrow success in a claimer last month (muddy track) upped to 1m½f; Joel Albornoz here for one ride and jockey booking heightens interest; now looks to be past her prime and easy to oppose.

Psychedelic

Jockey: Sophie Doyle Trainer: Kelsey Danner Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 43314

Comment: Is a multiple winner at this distance (all wins at this trip) and useful in this grade; fair effort when beaten 7l, finishing fourth of six (Churchill Downs) 43 days ago in a claimer; should not be far away as shown she can get her head in front.

Verdict: TARSHEA looks set for a big run. She has just one run under her belt so more open to improvement than some of these and the likely strong pace up front is a plus.

Argentinidad

Jockey: Thiago Canuto Trainer: Luis Seglin Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 45

Comment: Still winless and defeats stacking up (13 on the bounce); last of five six weeks ago in a maiden special weight; concern she might not be fully tuned up so others more likely.

Mer Soleil

Jockey: Joseph Romero Trainer: Susan Anderson Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: 5-5

Comment: Some promise; closest she has come to winning after six starts was a third; last of five here over 1m (maiden special weight) on her debut for new trainer in May; facing a testing assignment and hard to fancy.

Tarshea

Comment: Close up behind Morgan's Bluff 50 days ago when sixth (5f, here); represents top trainer; strong claims if replicating initial run and she is dropping into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Comment: Yet to manage better than fifth in her four races; sire does get winners on the turf; held when sixth beaten 13l (Churchill Downs) five weeks ago in a maiden claimer; a likely player as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag.
