Verdict: HAWKSTONE has winning form in the book and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick. Scheduling Dude, Lucky Twist and Face The Facts should also be considered.

Lucky Twist

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 451

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Big Martini; gained a first success at the third time of asking over 5f at Tampa Bay Downs (maiden special weight) in April, getting the job done by just over 2l; has to be respected as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and his most recent trackwork catches the eye.

Basic Truth

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Rachael Keithan Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 6-779

Comment: Largely not been running well and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); finished tailed off in an optional claimer last month at Belmont At The Big A upped to 1m½f; claiming value now drops to $40k; readily passed over.

Front End

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Jorge Delgado Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 10-7

Comment: Finished last of seven over 5f at Gulfstream Park (allowance optional claimer) 51 days ago on debut for this trainer; lightly raced (this just his fourth race); if excused most recent runs he would be interesting based on success three runs ago; must enter calculations.

Scheduling Dude

Jockey: Axel Concepcion Trainer: Jr Richard Dutrow, Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 1-P455

Comment: Finished fifth three weeks ago albeit only beaten 4l (Belmont At The Big A) in a claimer; should not be far away as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and shown he can win fairly recently.

My Boy Rocky

Jockey: Samy Camacho Trainer: Claudio Gonzalez Age/Wt: 3/8-3 F: 7-1616

Comment: Likes this combination of C&D; has chalked up two wins from his last four; fair effort when beaten 2½l in an allowance race on debut for new trainer two weeks ago; hard to dismiss.

Hawkstone

Jockey: Gabriel Maldonado Trainer: Cathal Lynch Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 1-553

Comment: Solid run when third at Parx over 6f (allowance optional claimer) three months ago; tag drops from $75k to $40k here; big chance as is no stranger to the winners' enclosure.

Love Hate

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Kathleen O'Connell Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 474142

Comment: Behind My Boy Rocky 28 days ago when beaten a head in a claimer; needs to be respected as his speed figure last time suggests he can handle this field.

Face The Facts

Jockey: Jorge Vargas Jr Trainer: Michelle Giangiulio Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 241/55

Comment: Held in fifth over 6f at Aqueduct (claimer) in April on debut for this trainer; remains far from exposed; if excused most recent runs he would be interesting based on success three runs ago; has a chance.

Korrongo

Jockey: Eliseo Ruiz Trainer: Patrick Reynolds Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 40-

Comment: Finished last of 12 over 1m1f at Belmont At The Big A (optional claimer) in November; returns from a layoff here; a lot on his plate here and makes little appeal.

God With Us

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Kelly Breen Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 2142

Comment: Missed out by a head in a claimer (bobbled at the start) last month; produced a string of consistent efforts; claiming tag rises to $40k here; the trainer is going well.

Verdict: THUNDER CHUCK rates a strong recommendation. He is an interesting newcomer from a good yard, while Bod Beach and Sir Newtons Laws are also of interest.

Little Theodore

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Claudio Gonzalez Age/Wt: 2/8-5

Comment: From the same family as Flat Out Donna, a winner over 3½f; bred to get better as he gets older; trainer can ready one; market may guide on this one.

Sir Newtons Laws

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Eddie Owens Age/Wt: 2/8-5

Comment: Eddie Owens team does well at Monmouth Park with debutants; regular trackwork dispels any fitness concerns; bred to get better with time; warrants respect as some good aspects to his profile.

Efata

Jockey: Axel Concepcion Trainer: Jose Delgado Age/Wt: 2/8-5

Comment: Sire's progeny have a good record in sprints; sibling of Zaneta (6f winner); trainer not renowned for sending out winning newcomers; overlooked unless the market says otherwise.

Manoah's Glory

Jockey: Jeiron Barbosa Trainer: Jorge Delgado Age/Wt: 2/8-5

Comment: Looks the part on breeding (by Game Winner); course debutants for this trainer should be taken seriously; capable of making an impact as some good aspects to his profile and the current stable form is another tick.

Thunder Chuck

Jockey: Samy Camacho Trainer: Jorge Delgado Age/Wt: 2/8-5

Comment: Stable has enjoyed debutant winners at this course; newcomer by Good Magic; related to Dancing Magic (winner from 4½f up to 7f); strong claims as impressive workout history - form of his yard is an obvious plus.

Bod Beach

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Jose Delgado Age/Wt: 2/8-5

Comment: Workouts somewhat dispel fitness concerns; running in first race; he's an attractive contender.

Side Step'n

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Jorge Duarte Age/Wt: 2/8-5 F: 6

Comment: Held when last (beaten 11l) on his debut over this distance at Laurel Park at 3-1 two weeks ago; entitled to be better for that run.

Gimme Gimme

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Devon Dougherty Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 736527

Comment: Last of eight in a claimer when behind Gimme Gimme, Putthepastbehind, and Aves Makin' Waves 28 days ago; recent form hardly the most inspiring and a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2022); others more likely.

Comment: Useful in this grade and running consistently; not disgraced when fourth over 5½f here (claimer) with Gimme Gimme just behind last month; tag has been dropped to $7.5k; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then needs considering.

Comment: Beaten 17l when sixth on her debut (7f, Tampa Bay Downs) at 9-1 in March; nicely bred (by Blame); sire gets turf winners; first attempt at a claimer; now drops in class but must step up if she is to threaten here.

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice but yet to open her account after 13 starts; beaten 6l into seventh (Belmont At The Big A) 21 days ago upped to this distance in a maiden claimer; claiming tag drops from $50k; hard enough to fancy.

Backseat Romance

Jockey: Melissa Iorio Trainer: Patrick McBurney Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 32225

Comment: Seems to be improving based on last two runs but yet to open her account after ten starts; bobbled at the start over 5½f here (maiden claimer) on first run for this trainer when last of five last month; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role with a few rivals in good form.

Enchant

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 244655

Comment: Ridden positively to get across to lead from stall eight when beaten 6l two weeks ago in a maiden special weight; a likely player now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and she's shown signs of promise here and there.

Monnie's Magic

Jockey: Jorge Gonzalez Trainer: Patrick McBurney Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 60-9

Comment: Creative Cause gets turf winners; still searching for first win after three tries; couldn't land a blow when ninth of 11 last month in a maiden special weight; first attempt in claiming company; down in class this time but not taken to make a serious impact.

Nona's Girl

Jockey: Jeiron Barbosa Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 5-

Comment: Beaten 14l to finish fifth on her debut (in blinkers, at Monmouth Park over 4½f) at 8-1 12 months ago; claiming debut; has a long absence to overcome; this is a step down in class but will need to show more than she did on debut to be competitive.

La Dinamita

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Dan Ward Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 6-0222

Comment: Producing consistent form but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at eight; a narrow runner-up at 2-5 in a maiden claimer three weeks ago; $40k claiming tag this time (up from $25k); longer trip presents a different challenge.

Comment: Could be at the extent of his ability and slumped a bit since winning a claimer at Tampa Bay Downs six months ago; bumped at the start in a claimer when last of five on debut for this handler last month; eased in class with tag standing at $6.3k here; now looks to be past his prime and others more persuasive.

Jockey: Jose Batista Trainer: Diane Morici Age/Wt: 9/8-9 F: 6-94

Comment: Was fourth of eight, beaten 11l, four weeks ago in a claimer; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 10-38) but no longer appears to be improving; drops to a $6.3k tag; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and others more likely.

Great Navigator

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Eddie Owens Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 4-2142

Comment: Specialist here with three wins and normally pretty consistent; finished in front of No Cents and Forever Chocolate here over 6f (stakes) when on the premises, finishing runner-up last month; can make his presence felt as he has worked well.

Optic Way

Jockey: Abner Adorno Trainer: Elliott Soto Age/Wt: 10/8-7 F: 2-21245

Comment: A winner over this C&D; he meets the required standard ability wise; not disgraced in fifth in a claimer at Parx last month; should prove competitive despite moving up in class and shown he can win fairly recently.

Irish Boolum

Jockey: Axel Concepcion Trainer: Joan Milne Age/Wt: 6/8-4 F: 34-7

Comment: Tailed off on his debut for new trainer last month in an allowance optional claimer; can boast winning form over this C&D; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win two years ago); hard to make a case given likely tougher test.

Verdict: SMUGGLER'S GOLD looks set for a big run. He is going over a distance that has yielded success for him in the past and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed, while Like What I See and Pealing Lad also merit consideration.

Just Comply

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 692-8

Comment: Quite a while since he tasted success; finished out the back when behind two of these upped to 1m½f last month in an allowance optional claimer; this is competitive and looks an unlikely winner.

Like What I See

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Dan Ward Age/Wt: 10/8-8 F: 15235-

Comment: Operating at a lower level than at his peak and four-time C&D winner; out of the frame (beaten just under 4l in fifth) in October (Laurel Park) in an optional claimer; returns from a break today; should go well despite this step up in class.

Comment: Ran well when beaten just over 1l here over 6f (allowance race) 14 days ago; seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so he's worth a go.

Comment: Beaten 6l (fifth) at Gulfstream Park on debut for this handler two months ago in a claimer; has won here before; subpar since successful in an allowance optional claimer at Monmouth Park in September; passed over as best days now look to behind him.

Pealing Lad

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Benjamin Perkins Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 4351-

Comment: Has kicked on in his last couple of races; got the job done by just over 1l in a maiden claimer (bumped at the start, dropped back to this distance) in November (Laurel Park), getting off the mark at the seventh attempt; has had some time off; steps up to allowance company.

Midnight Legend

Jockey: Jorge Gonzalez Trainer: Patrick McBurney Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 6-997

Comment: Best he's managed so far is sixth from seven career starts; fair effort when beaten 7l, finishing seventh of ten splitting Go Yoshida, Mine Seeker and Brad's Bet two weeks ago in a maiden claimer; claiming tag drops to $10k (from $12.5k); makes limited appeal.

Comment: Finished in front of several of these over 5½f here (maiden claimer) when only just held last month; lightly raced (running for just the third time); can make a decent bid as lower claiming tag suggests he may have less on his plate here.

Comment: Split a number of these rivals last month when a close third in a maiden claimer; without a win after 11 runs but has raised his game the last twice; looks likely to go well as latest run was an encouraging one and lower claiming tag suggests he may have less on his plate here.
