Great Kisser

Jockey: Jomar Torres Trainer: Mark Salvaggio Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 156-8

2/1

Comment: Has scored over C&D; beaten 7l in eighth at Pimlico four weeks ago in an allowance race; useful partnership with this jockey, back together here; looks likely to be involved as has wins in the formbook and boasts the best speed figure posted by any of this field in the last 12 months.

11/2

Comment: Produced a good effort to finish second in November when dropped in distance at Charles Town in a claimer; has won over C&D; has been fairly consistent this year; returns from a layoff; interesting as latest speed figure offers hope he can mix it with these despite the rise in tag price and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Comment: Finished last of six over 6f here (claimer) last month; may not have any more improvement left and not a frequent winner; notable rider booked; in for a $12.5k tag so up in class ($8k last time); easy enough to take on as hits the crossbar all too often.

Comment: Bumped at the start over 1m½f here (allowance race) when fifth of ten in 2023; a C&D winner; grade looks suitable; has a long absence to overcome; capable if in the mood so should prove competitive.

Comment: Respectable effort (beaten 4½l) in a claimer at Pimlico (muddy track) last month; hasn't won for a while and possible that there's no more in the locker; tag has been raised to $10k; a few rivals look in good form so others more likely.

Comment: Sluggish at the start in a claimer when dropped down to 6f last month; in for a $10k tag so up in class ($8k last time); this line-up contains some strong opposition so there are better alternatives here.

Comment: Still searching for first win after four tries; sire gets turf winners; fifth of nine beaten 9l at Penn National in March in a maiden claimer; can make his presence felt as lower claiming tag should make this easier and he was far from disgraced three runs back.

Petingas Twin

9/2

Comment: Has achieved four wins from 14 career runs and running consistently; fair effort when beaten 4l over 7f here (stakes) in November; returns from a layoff here; must be respected with drop back in trip looking the right move and down in class to claiming company.

Comment: Beaten 12l in eighth at Saratoga last July in an allowance optional claimer; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-12); returns from a break here; competitive shout if replicating his best form and he goes well fresh.

20/1

Comment: Creditable effort to finish third, beaten just under 2l in an allowance optional claimer at Pimlico last month, behind the reopposing Augusta Melody; form could be levelling off; been struggling to get his head in front recently so looks risky.

11/2

Comment: Has won here previously; shown recent signs of improvement; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 3½l) in a claimer in October; returns from a break here; poses a threat if replicating the best of her form and in off a lower claiming tag.

Comment: On the premises when second of five at Pimlico (sloppy track) last month finished just ahead of Buzzaway in a claimer; likely to be thereabouts as recent effort was encouraging.

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; narrow winner of a maiden claimer, breaking her duck at the sixth time of asking upped to this distance last month on debut for this trainer; needs to be respected.

Comment: This C&D holds no fears; finished last of five (sloppy track) three weeks ago at Pimlico behind My Dear Antonia, in a claimer; others more likely given many of her rivals are in good form.

Rasta Girl

Jockey: Horacio Karamanos Trainer: Robert Klesaris Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 83661

16/1

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; came good at the seventh time of asking 34 days ago when winning with a bit to spare upped to this trip in a maiden claimer; not hard to turn elsewhere as she faces a tougher test stepping up from maiden claiming company.

Jockey: Forest Boyce Trainer: Gregory Wilson Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 523321

25/1

Comment: Shown recent signs of improvement; scored narrowly in a maiden claimer, breaking her duck at the sixth time of asking last month; deeper waters here (in for $25k here, $15k tag last time); stepping up in trip and hard enough to fancy.
