Verdict: Firm preference is for ONE TOUGH DAME. She is bidding for her second course success and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed. Bareback Fun and This One Can Run should also be considered.

This One Can Run

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Julie Mathes Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 611-

Comment: Bidding for a hat-trick and achieved four wins at this venue; won with something to spare over 6f here (claimer) five months ago; returning from a layoff here; needs considering.

Lilac Lace

Jockey: Luciano Hernandez Trainer: Susan Yoder Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 517-77

Comment: Last of seven 13 days ago at Thistledown in a claimer; career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 11-46); others appeal more given the strong opposition here.

Bareback Fun

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 8-3115

Comment: Has achieved 11 wins from 50 career runs; fair effort (beaten 3½l) on her debut for this trainer last month in a claimer; the step back up in trip will suit and entitled to respect.

Maureenlovesfrank

Jockey: Agustin Bracho Trainer: Jami Poole Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: P38-4

Comment: Held in fourth last month in a claimer; proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking a 12th win); a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and others have more pressing claims.

Lady Jean

Comment: Finished just behind Ice Floe when last over 4½f here (allowance optional claimer) last month; one-time useful operator and grade looks suitable; now down in class (in for $5k from $12.5k); chance if finding her best form.

One Tough Dame

Jockey: Brandon Tapara Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 54-31

Comment: Managed two wins in her last six outings; landed a narrow success in a claimer on her debut for this trainer last month; recent win points to her being able to handle class rise so she is a serious player.

Comment: Yet to taste defeat over this C&D, winning on all two attempts; finished just behind Bareback Fun when fourth 15 days ago in a claimer; deserves respect as reverting to this trip sure to suit.

Ice Floe

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Denis Cluley Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 2241-4

Comment: Four-time course winner and career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 8-37); unable to land a blow in fourth last month in an allowance optional claimer; claiming value now drops from $12.5k; others appeal more.

Verdict: LUPITA gets a firm vote. She likes to stalk the early speed, while Feistyness, Revocata and In The Breeze should also be taken seriously.

Invidia Del Coco

Jockey: Jairo Hernandez Trainer: Alexis Lopez Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 0097-

Comment: Finished last of seven at Tampa Bay Downs five months ago in a maiden claimer; been out of sorts of late; back from an absence here; significantly reduced claiming tag a concern so she looks up against it.

Silver Maty

Jockey: Agustin Bracho Trainer: Jami Poole Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 44453

Comment: Split Honestly (second) and Cassoulet (fourth) when on the premises, finishing third last month in a maiden claimer; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 20.

Revocata

Jockey: Matias Bravo Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: -5996

Comment: Last of six three weeks ago at Mahoning Valley in a maiden special weight; has won here previously; a likely player as jockey does well from inner gates here and shown she can get her head in front.

In The Breeze

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 774

Comment: Not had much racing - fourth outing here; found life tough when 12l back in fourth over 5½f at Tampa Bay Downs (maiden claimer) last month; now down in class (in for $4k from $16k); one to be interested in.

Lupita

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 4-6466

Comment: Defeats piling up (0-12); out of the frame (beaten 8l in sixth) over 6½f at Turf Paradise (maiden claimer) 34 days ago; should be involved based on the pick of her form and in off a lower claiming tag.

Cassoulet

Jockey: Yuri Yaranga Trainer: Shane Spiess Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 3442-4

Comment: Has found improvement of late but still winless and defeats stacking up (18 on the bounce); out of the frame (beaten 7l in fourth) in a maiden claimer two weeks ago on debut for this trainer; this looks a fair heat so hard enough to fancy.

Feistyness

Comment: Beaten 13l in fourth over 6f at Laurel Park (maiden claimer) despite first-time blinkers in March; claiming value now drops to $4k; should be on the premises if replicating best previous efforts.

Honestly

Jockey: Bailey Weatherly Trainer: Donald Blankenship Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 688-52

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; far more competitive in a maiden claimer on first run for this trainer when close second where she had two of these rivals behind 16 days ago; in for the same tag ($4k).

Comment: Seems to be improving based on last two runs; ran a solid race finishing runner-up over 5½f at Mahoning Valley (maiden claimer, muddy track) just ahead of Silver Maty three weeks ago; should go well as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag.

Writeitontheice

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Justin Wade Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 9-07

Comment: Hasn't really fired since his success in a claimer at Monmouth Park 12 months ago and no longer appears to be improving; not beaten too far when seventh at Mahoning Valley in a claimer (muddy track) when dropped in distance three months ago; drops to a $4k tag from $7.5k; not hard to turn elsewhere.

Verdict: MISCHIEVOUS JUAN has shown he can get his head in front and can rebound from a modest last run. El Cardinal and Texcoco are also of interest.

He's On Fire

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Justin Wade Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 6-566

Comment: Generally modest form since claimer success at Laurel Park in November; was sixth of eight, beaten 10l, behind Scratchoff, last month on his debut for new trainer when dropped down to this trip in a claimer; this line-up contains some strong opposition so others have more pressing claims.

Gold Buckle

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Shane Spiess Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 6-72383

Comment: Has won eight times from 6f to 1m½f and smart performer at one stage; out of the frame (beaten 6l in third, sloppy track) with Royal Air Force just behind last month at Mahoning Valley in a claimer; lower claiming tag should make this easier and has to be considered.

Mischievous Juan

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Juan Vazquez Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: -336

Comment: He can be competitive at this level; not disgraced when sixth of seven (Parx) six weeks ago in a claimer; plenty of appeal as lower claiming tag should make this easier and shown he can win fairly recently.

Royal Air Force

Jockey: Luciano Hernandez Trainer: Susan Yoder Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 58-665

Comment: Finished behind Gold Buckle over 1m at Mahoning Valley (claimer, sloppy track) when beaten 15l last month; no longer appears to be improving and not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Mountaineer Park in September; now a lower claiming tag ($4k from $5k) so down in class; easy enough to take on.

Blackwater Falls

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Don Bryant Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 4466

Comment: Respectable effort to finish sixth, beaten 5½l at Parx last month in a claimer; just the one victory on his CV; now moved up in the grades (in for $12.5k); this line-up contains some strong opposition so one to tread carefully with.

Comment: Producing consistent form; good effort when close up (sloppy track) four weeks ago (Charles Town) in an allowance race; strong claims.

Scream Machine

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 1111-

Comment: Won a starter allowance by 3l five months ago; unbeaten at this course after two runs; continued her winning run on latest start; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so can't be ruled out.

Castle Review

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: John Shuler Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 21454-

Comment: Not disgraced in fourth in a starter allowance six months ago upped to 1m; season-ticket holder here with five wins; this line-up contains some strong opposition so not one to rely on.

Betsy Is The Code

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Carrol Langley Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 21114-

Comment: Not beaten too far when fourth of seven here over 6f (allowance optional claimer) in August on debut for this trainer; season-ticket holder here with four wins; record when fresh is not entirely persuasive and may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Priyanka

Jockey: Yuri Yaranga Trainer: Wajdi Bouali Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 9248-

Comment: Finished tailed off here over 1m (starter allowance) on first outing for new trainer five months ago; concern she might not be fully tuned up so others are preferred.

Mornin' Boss

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 1-242

Comment: Ran well when beaten a nose at Charles Town 53 days ago in an allowance race; normally pretty consistent and course regular who has won three times here; likely to be thereabouts.

EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: COASTALNESS is strongly fancied to come out on top. She looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and can confirm superiority with Knobiesmagicsonde, Whisper Me A Song and Nothing But Time who were behind her when last seen.

Nothing But Time

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 015567

Comment: Split a number of these rivals in a claimer (bobbled at the start) on debut for new trainer when not living up to expectations last month; capable if in the mood so should go well.

Jockey: Victor Severino Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 9-5591

Knobiesmagicsonde

Jockey: Maikol Vilchez Trainer: Melinda Sanders Age/Wt: 7/8-3 F: 714-3

White Heat

Jockey: Edgar Paucar Trainer: J Baird Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 0800-8

Comment: Managed just one success in her career to date; out of the frame when eighth at Turfway Park in January in a claimer; ought to be competitive as shown she can be competitive fairly recently and dropping back to 4½f is a plus.

A Sting For Love

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Julie Mathes Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 1663-9

Whisper Me A Song

Jockey: Ricardo Barrios Trainer: Dave Treharne Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 333-4

Comment: Not beaten too far when fourth here in a claimer splitting Coastalness, Knobiesmagicsonde and Nothing But Time last month; brings winning C&D form to the table; recent form has a decent look to it; this looks a fair heat so can be taken on.
