Lord Captain

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 6/8-4 F: 5539-6

Comment: Finished last of six two weeks ago on debut for this handler (sloppy track) in a claimer; has won six times from 6½f up to 1m½f; has winning form at this track; is passed over as a few rivals look in good form.

O P Firecracker

Comment: Ended losing run in a claimer when getting the job done by half a length last month; down in class now, dropping from a $16k tag; respected as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Comment: Last of seven in a claimer (muddy track) 14 days ago; winning form over C&D; in for a $10k tag so down in class ($32k last time); a big ask as best days now look to behind him.

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: Robert Johnston Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 30-54

Comment: Has proven competitive in a race of this nature and successful three times from 6f to 1m½f; creditable effort to finish fourth, beaten 3½l when close behind Commandperformance (problems in the gate at the start) upped to this distance in a claimer last month; his best form stacks up so prospects.

Comment: Was held in fourth here over 1m (stakes) 50 days ago; has won two of her three career runs and related to Stakes winner Sassy Nature; drop back to claiming level so warrants respect.

Allenhurst

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Gregory Sacco Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: -521

Comment: Stepped up on her last two starts; shed maiden status at the ninth time of asking in a maiden claimer last month, scoring by 5l; in for a $100k tag here, up from $20k last time; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as this step up from a maiden claimer looks tougher.

Pay The Juice

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: III Claude McGaughey Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 135-5

Comment: Respectable display to finish fifth, beaten 2½l at Gulfstream Park in January in an allowance optional claimer; warrants respect as pleasing in workout last Friday and shown he can get his head in front.

Verdict: PERUGIA gets a firm vote. She made an encouraging debut and could see the likely strong pace tee things up nicely for her. Wild Mischief isn't out of it.

Floy Joy

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: David Donk Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sire gets turf winners; from a trainer with a solid record with debutants; others look more obvious on paper; the betting may be the best guide.

Perugia

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-

Comment: Respectable debut effort (beaten 2½l) at Saratoga over 5½f at 7-2 in August; related to Stakes winner Amundson and has a nice pedigree (by Frosted); returns from a layoff; leading contender as appeals from a breeding angle and her initial effort hints at more to come.

Wild Mischief

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 476-6

Garden Of Grace

Comment: Her trainer gets plenty of debutant winners; related to 6½f winner Solo In Paris; likely player with signs of encouragement in profile.

Top Spin Ace

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to 6f winner Quarrymen; course debutants for this stable have to be taken seriously; likely player as has recorded some interesting trackwork.

Munnings Express

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Represents a stable with a strong record here with their newcomers; shares a dam with Lamorna, a 5½f winner; hard to fancy unless market points the other way.

Kay Cup

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Jorge Abreu Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 3-

Jockey: Katie Davis Trainer: Domenick Schettino Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 11-11

Comment: Successful by just over 3l to claim second C&D win last month; continued her winning run on latest start; yet to taste defeat at this track, winning on all three visits.

EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: RHYTON is a very interesting newcomer with an eyecatching pedigree and is the pick of the debutants. Leon Blue and Cousin Ed are also respected.

Tango Tango

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: Thomas Morley Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Shares a dam with Dashing Dan, a 1m½f winner; plenty of trackwork in the book; chance with signs of encouragement in profile and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Motel Patel

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Rob Atras Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 7-2833

Comment: Stepped up on his last two starts; finished in front of two of these over 6½f here (maiden special weight) on first run for his current trainer when 7l third four weeks ago; can be on the premises.

Rhyton

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Christophe Clement Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sire gets turf winners; stable gets plenty of debutant winners; he's a serious player with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire suggests the distance might suit.

Roofer

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: Mitchell Friedman Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 2-5545

Comment: Could not land a telling blow when fifth despite odds of 2-1 42 days ago, showing early speed to lead from a wide draw in a maiden optional claimer; has to be considered as has bits and pieces of decent form.

Eighty Gold

Jockey: Jose Gomez Trainer: David Donk Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Trip should suit on breeding (sire has plenty of sprint winners); stable capable of preparing a newcomer to win; faces a demanding debut and a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Nothingbutnitro

Jockey: Katie Davis Trainer: Robbie Davis Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to 1m½f winner Whiskey Run; sire gets turf winners; remains to be seen whether he'll be clued up enough to get off the mark - market could reveal prospects.

No Problem

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Trackwork in the book allays fitness concerns; looks the part on breeding (by Improbable); should not be far away.

Disco Dervish

Jockey: Lane Luzzi Trainer: Lisa Lugovich Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 970

Comment: Best he's managed so far is seventh from three career starts; finished tenth of 12 in a maiden special weight 29 days ago; others have more pressing claims.

Leon Blue

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Melanie Giddings Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 223-

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Allure Of Money and winless in three starts but has shown promise with second his top showing; second favourite at Belmont At The Big A but things didn't pan out (7l third) in a maiden special weight six months ago; returns from a layoff here; the pick of his results suggest some ability and can't be ruled out.

Stormy Birthday

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: Robert Ribaudo Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 604-

Comment: Out of the frame when fourth in a maiden special weight at Belmont At The Big A in October; returns from a layoff; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Cousin Ed

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Jorge Abreu Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 533-83

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when third of seven dropped back in distance last month on his debut for this trainer at Gulfstream Park in a maiden special weight; best form so far in last two starts; poses a threat.

Blue Pill

Jockey: Omar Moreno Hernandez Trainer: James Ferraro Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; sibling of Dr. Baskin (7f winner); faces fairly tall order so a watching brief the best policy.

Toga Dan

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Jorge Abreu Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 80

Comment: Finished out the back in a maiden special weight when the blinkers went on last month; sire gets turf winners.

Arch's Assault

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Charlton Baker Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 747-

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Bank On Anna; problems at the start (problems in the gate) when beaten just under 4l to finish second (Belmont At The Big A) in November in a maiden special weight; returns from a layoff here; steps down in trip.

Kings And Queens

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: Gregory Sacco Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 7

Comment: Never posed a significant threat on his debut 44 days ago sporting blinkers over C&D; should benefit for having a run under his belt.
