Verdict: POINT LIAM is the recommendation. He is likely to run his race and put in an eyecatching run last time out. Harbor Of Gold and Cisco Kid should also be on the premises.

Cisco Kid

Jockey: Jorge Vargas Jr Trainer: Esteban Padilla Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 322655

Comment: Held when fifth of eight at Parx 20 days ago in an optional claimer; has claims as best form suggests not devoid of talent.

Kantknowitall

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Kelly Breen Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 3-1462

Comment: Ran well when beaten a nose last month in a claimer; jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and needs considering.

Captain Quick

Jockey: Madison Olver Trainer: Joan Milne Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 7914-8

Comment: Finished last of eight three weeks ago in a claimer; a winner over C&D; now looks to be past his prime and not one to rely on.

Point Liam

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Panagiotis Synnefias Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 63323

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts; split a number of these rivals in a claimer when on the premises, finishing third dropped back in distance three weeks ago; big chance if building on most recent effort.

Awesome Entry

Jockey: Jorge Gonzalez Trainer: Leopoldo Ortega Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 813276

Comment: Could not manage better than sixth over 1m here (optional claimer, sloppy track) last week; this looks a fair heat so unlikely to pose a threat.

Jockey: Abner Adorno Trainer: Esteban Padilla Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 765612

Comment: Managed two wins in his last three outings; beaten 1l at Belmont At The Big A four weeks ago in a claimer; lower claiming tag should make this easier and definite chance.

Dirty Harry

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Kelly Breen Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 13-761

Comment: Narrow success in a claimer last month on debut for this trainer; successful twice in his last five starts; claiming value rises from $12.5k last time; despite that Monmouth Park success, he can be taken on.

Harbor Of Gold

Jockey: Jomar Torres Trainer: Kathleen DeMasi Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 67-

Comment: Held when seventh of eight at Meadowlands over 5f (claimer) in October; he can be competitive at this level; returns from a break today; can be in the mix if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and in off a lower claiming tag.

Jerry's Turn

Jockey: Axel Concepcion Trainer: Timothy Hills Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 2844

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 7l) splitting Kantknowitall, Point Liam and Captain Quick last month in a claimer; may not have any more improvement left and infrequent winner; record demonstrates how he often finds at least one too good so is passed over.

Verdict: THUNDER CHUCK has previous experience to his name and can improve on the second place he achieved on his first start. Complication and Flyin Hawaiian also warrant respect.

Cap'n Cats

Jockey: Eliseo Ruiz Trainer: Jr Robert Reid, Age/Wt: 2/8-5

Comment: From a yard with a solid record with newcomers; makes first racecourse appearance; hard to fancy unless market points the other way.

Thunder Chuck

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Jorge Delgado Age/Wt: 2/8-5 F: 2

Comment: Just held on his debut over 4½f here at 4-5 two weeks ago; related to Stakes winner Dancing Magic and two-year-olds trained by Jorge Delgado are going well; every chance if replicating initial run and his breeding catches the eye.

Channel The Music

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

Comment: Bred to get better with time; sire gets a fair share of winners over this distance; requires market confidence to make him of interest.

Flyin Hawaiian

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Jr Robert Reid, Age/Wt: 2/8-5

Comment: Trainer can ready a newcomer; must be high on list with signs of encouragement in profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Wise Words

Jockey: Melissa Iorio Trainer: Jose Delgado Age/Wt: 2/8-5

Comment: Yard not renowned for getting debutant winners; sire's progeny often do well as sprinters; might be one for another day; market may guide.

Bod Beach

Jockey: Christian Maragh Trainer: Jose Delgado Age/Wt: 2/7-12 F: 3

Comment: Not disgraced on his debut (just behind Thunder Chuck) over 4½f here at 4-1 two weeks ago; could improve although needs to.

Complication

Jockey: Madison Olver Trainer: Jorge Delgado Age/Wt: 2/8-5

Comment: Yard's juveniles are going well; stable gets debut winners here; has a nice pedigree (by Complexity); shares a dam with Some Of It, a 1m½f winner; should give it a bold bid as has looked an intriguing prospect during trackwork and his sire suggests the distance might suit.

Verdict: It is hard to get away from ISLAND DREAM GIRL. She is taken to enhance a fine record at this sort of trip and knows how to win, while My Honeybunch and Giant's Audible are also respected.

Giant's Audible

Jockey: Jean Aguilar Trainer: Silvino Ramirez Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 43311

Comment: Caused a 15-2 surprise when landing Monmouth Park claimer last month; going for a hat-trick and has shown some recent improvement; class dropper as runs for a $7.5k tag here; jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and hard to dismiss.

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 6l, finishing fifth of seven last month at Pimlico in a claimer; moves down to an easier grade (in for $7.5k); in with a big shout based on the pick of her form and boasts the best speed figure posted by any of this field in the last 12 months.

Violets Smile

Jockey: Madison Olver Trainer: Derek Ryan Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 44-437

Comment: Not beaten too far when seventh here in an allowance optional claimer (sloppy track) last Sunday; C&D winner although not added to that in previous seven tries but has proven competitive in a race of this nature; can be in the thick of things as has bits and pieces of decent form.

In Retrospect

Jockey: Abner Adorno Trainer: Michael Jones Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 137867

Comment: Slumped a bit since winning a maiden claimer at Charles Town in February; last of seven at Charles Town over 7f (claimer) 52 days ago; class riser as runs for a $7.5k tag here; facing a testing assignment and not hard to look elsewhere.

Coalville

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Kathleen DeMasi Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 56127-

Comment: Finished last of seven at Parx last July in an allowance optional claimer; this is his level; now running on turf for the first time; returns from an absence here; can be in the thick of things as his rider is capable of making the most of a favourable draw and shown he can win fairly recently.

Comment: Finished 11th of 12 in an allowance race at Aqueduct in November upped to 1m½f; one-time useful performer; returns from a break today; first attempt at a claimer; a leading player as from low numbers over this C&D his jockey has an impressive record and didn't have the best of luck last time.

Pallino

Jockey: Dexter Haddock Trainer: Marya Montoya Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 9-296

Comment: Respectable effort (beaten just over 2l) at Delaware Park over 5f (optional claimer) 16 days ago; not won for some time now and patchy form recently; this looks a decent race so one to tread carefully with.

Tropandhagen

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Panagiotis Synnefias Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 84-8

Comment: Last of eight in a claimer two weeks ago; a previous winner here; now a lower claiming tag ($16k from $40k) so down in class; easy to see him making an impression as shown some signs of promise.

Comment: Last of seven at Gulfstream Park in April in a claimer; this is his grade; in for a $16k tag so up in class ($12.5k last time); he has a shout despite defeat last time as was third two runs back.

Comment: Shown recent signs of improvement; landed a narrow success in a maiden claimer at Gulfstream Park when opening his account at the fifth time of asking in February; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $16k); returns from a break here; despite that Gulfstream Park success, unlikely to trouble the principals.

Comment: Yet to manage better than sixth in her five races; last of eight 15 days ago on first run for her current trainer (dropped back to 5½f, bumped at the start) in a maiden claimer; class dropper as runs for a $10k tag here; not hard to look elsewhere.

Mom's Had Enough

Comment: Just her third outing so still early days; a disappointing seventh when favourite in a maiden claimer at Tampa Bay Downs three months ago; drops to a $10k tag from $16k; should not be far away as has bits and pieces of decent form and she was strong in the market last time.

One Fine Wine

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Patrick McBurney Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 227-21

Comment: Won fair and square, breaking her duck at the ninth time of asking (bumped at the start) last month in a maiden special weight upped to 1m; seems to be improving based on last two runs; first attempt at a claimer; she's worth a go as her rider is capable of making the most of a favourable draw.

I Can Explain

Jockey: Jorge Gonzalez Trainer: Douglas Nunn Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 4-7651

Comment: Improved form the last twice; sent off 16-1 when a narrow winner in a maiden special weight a week ago (sloppy track), getting off the mark at the sixth attempt; first run in a claimer; easy to oppose despite that win last time.

Little Lia

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Ramon Martin Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 5108-8

Comment: Finished last of eight four weeks ago in an allowance race; latest efforts leave a lot to be desired so looks risky.

Delightful Ava

Jockey: Madison Olver Trainer: Jr James Frangella, Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 58-8

Comment: Was eighth of ten, beaten 6l, last month when back to this distance in an allowance race; this C&D holds no fears; Madison Olver booked; facing a testing assignment and hard enough to fancy.

Eazy Whirled

Jockey: Ramon Moya Trainer: Chuck Spina Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 435-31

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; landed a narrow success in a maiden special weight, breaking her duck at the seventh time of asking two weeks ago; despite that Monmouth Park success, easy enough to take on.

Richie's Valentine

Jockey: Axel Concepcion Trainer: Dennis Kendall Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 120-

Comment: Finished last of ten at Meadowlands when she was behind several of these rivals in September in an allowance optional claimer; track has proven suitable before; layoff to overcome; definitely of interest as shown she can win fairly recently.

Amazing Graces Joy

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Joseph Mazza Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 3257-

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 8l in seventh) in August in an allowance optional claimer; returns from a break here; tends to find at least one too good; one to tread carefully with.

Let Her Run

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Eddie Owens Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 3160-4

Comment: Useful at this level and far from exposed; finished in front of She's A Bombshell and Little Lia over 6f here (allowance race) when beaten 8l in fourth last month; one to consider as plenty to like about workout last Thursday and shown she can win fairly recently.

Bad Girl Betty Lou

Jockey: Christian Maragh Trainer: Timothy Hills Age/Wt: 3/7-12 F: 41

Comment: Gained a 3½l success over 5f at Pimlico (maiden claimer, sloppy track) when opening her account at the second time of asking last month; Move up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Sadie Baby

Jockey: Melissa Iorio Trainer: Patrick McBurney Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 4-4666

Comment: Not won for some time now; was held in sixth 36 days ago behind Summer Flower, in an allowance optional claimer; this is competitive and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Summer Flower

Coracle

Azteca Warrior

Jockey: Chantal Sutherland Trainer: Jorge Delgado Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 24

Comment: Problems at the start (problems in the gate) in a maiden special weight when little between him and Silver Pocket (last) three weeks ago on debut for this trainer; is a player as entitled to be a bit more streetwise this time and has shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

Neonate

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Diane Morici Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: First time on the track; sibling of Baha Secret (6f winner); this one is best watched, unless market signals suggest otherwise against runners with experience.

Soar Richard

Jockey: Ramon Moya Trainer: Anthony Margotta Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 7-6732

Comment: Admirably consistent and shown recent signs of improvement; not beaten far in a maiden claimer last month; should go close if building on last performance and this step up in class unlikely to hinder him.

Mister Chill

Jockey: Jomar Torres Trainer: James Popovich Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: This son of Long River is having his first race; requires market confidence to make him of interest as he has his work cut out against experienced rivals.
