Verdict: LOU THE BODY has to be the first name on the shortlist. He is bidding to land a second win over this C&D. Star Of The Beast and High Prince should also be in the mix.

Lou The Body

Jockey: Emisael Jaramillo Trainer: Victor Barboza Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 248241

Comment: Narrow winner of a claimer last month; should be involved.

Star Of The Beast

Jockey: Rajiv Maragh Trainer: Peter Walder Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 71345

Comment: Beaten 7l when fifth of six in a claimer two weeks ago; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; tag drops from $12.5k to $8k here; he can make a bold bid if finding his best form.

Federal Exchange

Jockey: Cipriano Gil Trainer: Monica McGoey Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 876244

Comment: Possible that there's no more in the locker and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); finished just behind Thingsrgettinharry when fourth two weeks ago in a claimer; a lot on his plate here and others appeal more.

Thingsrgettinharry

Jockey: Luis Fuenmayor Trainer: Frank Santillana Age/Wt: 4/8-3 F: 47563

Comment: Held in third 17 days ago in a claimer; C&D winner although not added to that in previous eight tries; makes limited appeal.

Nixon Joy

Jockey: Jose Leon Trainer: Angel Quiroz Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 8/766-6

Comment: A winner over C&D; largely been out of sorts; was held in sixth in a claimer (Tampa Bay Downs) on his first start for this trainer three months ago; up in class (in for $8k here, $5k tag last time); uphill struggle as this looks a fair heat.

Diamond Messa

Verdict: OASIS PRINCE is hard to look beyond. He should be able to confirm placings with Black Empire and Stillnohasslejj and sets the form standard based on his most recent effort.

Bitter Banker

Jockey: Yolber Torres Trainer: Gerald James Age/Wt: 3/7-13 F: 86876

Comment: Last of six 51 days ago in a maiden claimer; shown only moderate recent form; up in class (in for $35k here, $12.5k tag last time); concern he might not be fully tuned up so can't go on the shortlist.

Shace Sloane

Jockey: Emisael Jaramillo Trainer: Jose Garoffalo Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 222427

Comment: Beaten 9l in seventh in a maiden special weight last month; has found improvement of late; should figure as finished second last month.

Inherent Promise

Jockey: Luca Panici Trainer: Lisa Lewis Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: -5944

Comment: String of consistent efforts of late; solid run when fourth in a maiden special weight three weeks ago (had two of these rivals behind); should not be far away as recent display was promising and he now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Jockey: Jose Morelos Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6-9834

Comment: Respectable effort in defeat (beaten 2½l) over 1m½f here (maiden claimer) 28 days ago; finished ahead of Stillnohasslejj but was behind Oasis Prince; deserves respect as shown promise on occasion.

Positive Energy

Jockey: Elijah Greenidge Trainer: Dennis Manning Age/Wt: 3/7-13 F: 66

Comment: Split Inherent Promise and Shace Sloane when sixth last month with blinkers tried, managing to get across to lead from stall eight in a maiden special weight; first run in claiming company; probably unlikely to trouble the principals despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; others look more obvious on paper; market could reveal prospects.

Stillnohasslejj

Jockey: Jonathan Ocasio Trainer: Gary Marino Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 77

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing seventh last month behind two of these upped to 1m½f in a maiden claimer; his claims aren't overly compelling.

Mcmullen

Jockey: Yolber Torres Trainer: Heather Smullen Age/Wt: 3/7-13 F: 8

Comment: Comfortably beaten into last on his debut at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f at 16-1 two months ago; now a lower claiming tag ($12.5k from $32k) so down in class; could be in the mix as his jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D.

El Kozan

Jockey: Jesus Rios Trainer: Angel Quiroz Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 6/0-

Comment: Finished last of ten over 5½f at Tampa Bay Downs (maiden claimer) last March; long absence to overcome; substantially lower claiming tag a cause for concern so only limited appeal.

Verdict: ENDRICK is strongly fancied to prevail. He could capitalise if the leaders go too fast and is a reliable sort, while Wannabeeloved and Strengthnguidance are also respected.

Strengthnguidance

Jockey: Edgard Zayas Trainer: Antonio Sano Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 65450

Comment: Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; was tailed off in a claimer 15 days ago upped to 1m; class dropper as runs for a $12.5k tag here; possibilities as the return to this distance should be more suitable and he has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

New Plex

Jockey: Cipriano Gil Trainer: Abraham Gardea Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 9035-1

Comment: Has displayed improved form on last two starts; won by just over 2l at Tampa Bay Downs five months ago when getting off the mark at the fifth time of asking in a maiden claimer; now down in class (in for $12.5k from $16k); layoff to overcome; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as he faces a tougher test stepping up from maiden claiming company.

Khoolzan

Jockey: Marcos Meneses Trainer: Robert Smith Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 7-73233

Comment: You have to go back a fair way to find his only win; respectable effort in a claimer in front of Strengthnguidance last month; in for a $12.5k tag so down in class ($25k last time); should be on the premises as recent performance was encouraging.

Culminate

Jockey: Rajiv Maragh Trainer: Carlos David Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 9614

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 8l into fourth) when close behind Bucchero's Dude 44 days ago in a claimer; lightly raced with this just his fifth appearance; eased in class with tag standing at $12.5k here; the Carlos David outfit is running hot currently; should get involved if excused most recent run as achieved maiden claimer success two runs back and shown he can win fairly recently.

Comment: Has recorded plenty of wins at this level and looking to land a four-timer; got the job done in a Grade 3 by a head at Belmont At The Big A last month; she's a serious player with drop in class a positive and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Verdict: Firm preference is for ALESS QUEEN. She was behind Atalanta Alexandra latest but can now overturn placings and has won over this C&D. Royal Poppy is also respected.

Aless Queen

Jockey: Edgard Zayas Trainer: J D Angelo Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 2-23

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts; respectable effort (beaten 4l) in an allowance optional claimer splitting Atalanta Alexandra, Gullfaxi and Neom City in April; big chance given several of her rivals have questions to answer and has proved she knows how to win.

Verdict: TURINO is a firm choice. She can show that her latest flop was just a blip and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick, while Money Trail, Bottomless Mimosa and Prism Pool Pat should also be considered.

Money Trail

Jockey: Jose Morelos Trainer: John Vinson Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 872422

Comment: Not beaten far three weeks ago in a maiden claimer; running consistently and has shown some recent improvement; should give it a bold bid despite this step up in class and her last run was encouraging.
