Space Launch

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Kelly Breen Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 4-1346

15/8

Comment: Unable to land a blow in sixth at Tampa Bay Downs six weeks ago in a claimer; useful in this grade; eased in class with tag standing at $22k here; competitive shout if replicating the best of his form and he didn't get much luck in running last time.

Comment: Unable to land a blow in eighth at Aqueduct in November in an allowance optional claimer; has proven competitive in a race of this nature and cut above this level at his peak; back from an absence here; claiming tag drops to $22k (from $62.5k); could be hard to beat; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and has proved he knows how to win.

Comment: Useful in this grade and plenty to like about many of his recent performances at this venue; was sixth of eight, beaten 7l, in an allowance optional claimer at Tampa Bay Downs last month; calmer waters here (in for $22k, $32k tag last time).

Comment: Form could be levelling off and form has an up and down look to it; fair effort when beaten 4l, finishing fifth of nine in a claimer (not far behind Spanish Noble) at Tampa Bay Downs last month; higher claiming tag here so up in class; his best looks to be behind him and there are better alternatives here.

Comment: Successful twice in his last six starts; scored by a slim margin in an optional claimer (sloppy track) at Pimlico last week; could be interesting as recent win points to him being able to handle class rise.

Comment: Was held in fourth over 7f at Tampa Bay Downs (maiden claimer, close behind Quinn For The Win) 23 days ago; improved form the last twice; in for a $10k tag so down in class ($16k last time); likely to be in contention.

Comment: Fourth when fancied (8-13) at Laurel Park in October in a maiden claimer; useful in this grade and appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; returns from a layoff; a likely player granted a bit more luck as didn't get the rub of the green last time and lower claiming tag should make this easier.

Comment: Beaten only narrowly in a maiden claimer at Laurel Park 30 days ago; seems to be improving based on last two runs and better than this level in his pomp; latest effort was encouraging so expected to be in the thick of things.

Comment: Ran encouragingly when 1l runner-up at Gulfstream Park 22 days ago in a maiden claimer; needs to be taken seriously as lower claiming tag suggests he may have less on his plate here.

Comment: Yet to open his account after 23 starts; missed the frame (beaten 11l into fourth) over 6½f at Tampa Bay Downs (maiden claimer) two months ago on debut for this trainer; now eased in the grades (in for $16k); easy to oppose.

Comment: Beaten a nose when runner-up at Laurel Park 51 days ago in a maiden claimer; has been fairly consistent this year; up in class (in for $16k here, $12.5k tag last time); encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so likely to be involved.

Diriyah

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Jr Richard Dutrow, Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 21-56

Comment: Finished behind Vanilla Sundae at Aqueduct last month when last of six in a Grade 3; now down into claiming company; likely to be a threat as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and she was a winner three starts ago.

Pink Ruby

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Lindsay Schultz Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 7-31

Comment: Registered first success at the third time of asking when winning by 1l last month dropped down to 6f at Oaklawn Park in a maiden optional claimer; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role despite the last time out success.

Comment: Boasts winning form over C&D; slumped a bit since winning an allowance optional claimer at Monmouth Park in September; held in fifth over 5½f at Gulfstream Park (claimer) on first run for this trainer last month; others appeal more with tougher test on the cards.

Jockey: Jorge Vargas Jr Trainer: Eddie Owens Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 347-75

Comment: Respectable display to finish fifth, beaten 4l at Gulfstream Park 52 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; has an impressive C&D record (six wins from eight runs) but largely disappointing since successful in a stakes at Monmouth Park a year ago; facing a tougher assignment than last time, not easy to fancy.

Comment: Ran well in a stakes last June and has proven competitive in a race of this nature; finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (9l) in an allowance optional claimer in July - split Last Romance and Max's Glory; most recent trackwork a positive and he needs to be taken seriously.

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; useful in his prime; ridden positively to get across to lead from stall eight in a claimer at Tampa Bay Downs 23 days ago; rates a likely contender as recent win points to him being able to handle class rise and he can handle the step up in class.
