Verdict: KENDAMA rates a strong recommendation. He is taken to confirm placings with Prince Khozan, Uninvited Guest and Big Big Star and is proven at the trip.

Big Big Star

Jockey: Jorge Ruiz Trainer: Keri Brion Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 11-9

Comment: Behind three of these rivals in an optional claimer when beaten 9l last month; he can be competitive at this level and not had much racing for his age; should not be ruled out granted a bit more luck as didn't get the rub of the green last time.

Masakado

Jockey: J G Torrealba Trainer: Michael Gorham Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 31534

Comment: Is a two-time winner this year; far from disgraced (beaten just over 2l) when behind the reopposing Coaches Meeting over 1m (optional claimer) three weeks ago on debut for this trainer; a few rivals look in good form so hard enough to fancy.

Joe

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 27-462

Comment: Behind Coaches Meeting when close second 21 days ago in an optional claimer; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 5-17); if he can build on his latest effort then one to be interested in.

Consultant

Jockey: Horacio Karamanos Trainer: Robert Klesaris Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 885/6

Colpo D'oro

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Claudio Gonzalez Age/Wt: 5/8-0 F: 53368-

Comment: Out of the frame when eighth in October (Meadowlands) in a claimer; has won three races from 5½f to 1m½f; back from an absence here; class riser as runs for a $10k tag here; recently has been finding this claiming level too hot so hard to see him involved.

Always Gambling

Jockey: Weston Hamilton Trainer: Sarah White Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 22-245

Comment: Fair effort when 2½l fifth to Coaches Meeting in an optional claimer on debut for this handler 21 days ago upped to 1m; no wins at this distance and possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; easy enough to take on as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

Coaches Meeting

Jockey: Daniel Centeno Trainer: Richard Sillaman Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 92511

Comment: Scored narrowly in an optional claimer 21 days ago when he got the better of Joe and several of these; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-19) and going for a hat-trick; he should go close.

Uninvited Guest

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 6-635

Comment: Can be a player at this level and string of consistent efforts of late; split a number of these rivals last month when fifth beaten 2½l in an optional claimer; drops to a $12.5k tag; recent effort was creditable so should give it a bold bid.

Jockey: J G Torrealba Trainer: Claudio Gonzalez Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 6-32156

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; he meets the required standard ability wise; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (7l) here over 1m (optional claimer) last month; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $12.5k).

Jockey: Denis Araujo Trainer: W Bailes Age/Wt: 9/8-11 F: 544

Comment: Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a 13th career win) and good record here of three wins from 22 runs; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Charles Town (beaten 8l, sloppy track) two weeks ago in an optional claimer.

Prince Khozan

Jockey: Carlos Lopez Trainer: Elizabeth Mccue Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 60-34

Comment: Creditable effort in fourth (beaten just over 2l) in an optional claimer when separating a number of reopposing rivals last month; may not have any more improvement left and consistency hasn't been his strong suit.

Gatto Be Proud

Jockey: Johan Rosado Trainer: Timothy Keefe Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 735314

Comment: Behind My Imagination in a claimer when fourth of five (stumbled at the start) 27 days ago; grade looks suitable; looks likely to go well if duplicating the form of his most recent win and lower claiming tag should make this easier.

Lazlo

Jockey: Daniel Centeno Trainer: Richard Sillaman Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 11

Comment: Won an optional claimer by 1l two weeks ago; winner of three of his six career runs and out to complete a hat-trick; although up in class he appears to be in top form so must be considered.

Curly Larry And Mo

Jockey: Sheldon Russell Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 8/7-05

Comment: Beaten 6l into fifth upped to 1m (Pimlico) last month in an allowance optional claimer; better than this level in his prime and has proven competitive in a race of this nature; shown he can get his head in front so one to watch out for.

Jockey: Jose Betancourt Trainer: Fenneka Bentley Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 34-44

Verdict: DAZZLING DAME is strongly fancied to come out on top. She is worth noting in the betting as runners from her trainer are often capable of winning first time out, while Doc's Miracle and Jen d'Oro should also be taken seriously.

Doc's Miracle

Jockey: J G Torrealba Trainer: Gary Capuano Age/Wt: 2/8-8 F: 44

Comment: Split Tacit Value and Barbados Bulldog when fourth 14 days ago in a maiden special weight; she should go close as her jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D and the penny could well drop today.

Kinda Krazy

Jockey: Johan Rosado Trainer: Lacey Gaudet Age/Wt: 2/8-8

Comment: Related to Yours Completely (winner from 5½f up to 7f); trainer among the winners with newcomers in recent seasons; bred to improve with age; passed over unless attracting strong support.

Dazzling Dame

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 2/8-8

Comment: Yard excels with debutants here; sire produces plenty of two-year-old winners; plenty of appeal with signs of encouragement in profile - form of her trainer is an obvious plus.

Jen D'oro

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Timothy Hamm Age/Wt: 2/8-8

Comment: Trainer making hay with their two-year-olds; bred to get better as she gets older; yard more than capable of getting one ready first time out; deserves respect with signs of encouragement in profile and the hot form of the stable is a bonus.

Snow Bella

Jockey: Weston Hamilton Trainer: Madison Meyers Age/Wt: 2/8-8

Comment: The sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; makes first racecourse appearance; interesting to see how she figures in the betting.

Holy Storm

Jockey: Horacio Karamanos Trainer: Damon Dilodovico Age/Wt: 2/8-8

Comment: This daughter of Holy Boss makes first appearance; hard to fancy unless market points the other way.

Barbados Bulldog

Jockey: Jorge Hernandez Trainer: Jose Corrales Age/Wt: 2/8-8 F: 7

Comment: Was last of seven on her debut when held comfortably behind two of these over C&D (wore blinkers) at 10-1 two weeks ago; could improve although needs to.

Comment: Yard's stats offers some hope; from an in-form trainer; related to 5½f winner On Reserve; been active in workouts; could be better for the experience so probably best watched.

Tacit Value

Jockey: Andres Chavez Trainer: Jr Robert Leaf, Age/Wt: 2/8-8 F: 3

Comment: Far from disgraced, finishing third, on her debut two weeks ago (had Doc's Miracle and Barbados Bulldog behind) over C&D; could have a say now that she knows her job.

Comment: Unable to land a blow when fifth of 12 here over 1m½f (maiden claimer) three weeks ago on debut for this trainer; stepped up on his last two starts and he meets the required standard ability wise; has shown glimpses of ability recently and is respected.

Comment: Not disgraced when eighth of nine in a maiden claimer three weeks ago on debut for this trainer; three-race maiden though does have a second place to his name; Carlos Mancilla's runners are going great guns at the moment; class dropper as runs for a $16k tag here; passed over.

Comment: Solid effort in defeat to finish third after going off 18-1 in an allowance optional claimer (Parx) 25 days ago; has maintained her consistent level of form and among the places in a stakes in August; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; sights and claiming tag have been lowered here so likely to be thereabouts.
