4/7

Comment: Was on the premises (runner-up, beaten just over 5l) in a claimer last week; closely matched with Charlottes Way on that running on debut for this trainer; doesn't win often; drops to a $4k tag; has to be taken seriously as jockey does well from inner gates here and her recent effort was encouraging.

Comment: Solid effort when beaten just over 1l to finish runner-up 38 days ago (Turfway Park) in a maiden claimer; could be dangerous if confirming promise shown last time.

Verdict: HARDLY EVER BETTER ran into traffic problems last time and the abundance of pace up front enhances his claims. Shoot The Breeze, Mo Snow and Free From Guilt are also shortlisted.

Hardly Ever Better

Jockey: Marshall Mendez Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 3-3325

Comment: Useful at this level; not disgraced when fifth (Charles Town) 11 days ago in a claimer; strong claims as jockey does well from inside draws here and lots of promise in his latest performance.

Mo Snow

Jockey: Alexander Chavez Trainer: Michelle Winters Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 5521-5

Comment: Finished last of five at Mahoning Valley 20 days ago in an allowance race; has arguably shown improved form the last twice and this is his grade; could go well with so many of these having something to prove and he won a maiden claimer two runs back.

Shoot The Breeze

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Kevin Joy Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 3-1044

Comment: Comfortably beaten into fourth at Charles Town over 6½f (claimer) 25 days ago; all his winning form has come at Charles Town (three successes) but he can be competitive at this level; down in class now, dropping from a $10k tag; capable if in the mood so looks interesting.

Big Way

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 3434-

Comment: Fourth, not beaten that far (16-1) in November in a claimer; subpar record of 1-27; layoff to overcome; regularly been coming up a bit short lately so easy to oppose.

Booyah

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Julie Stansbury Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 133-7

Comment: Has scored over C&D; was seventh of eight, beaten 11l, in a claimer (Mahoning Valley) when not far behind Free From Guilt three months ago; eased in class with tag standing at $4k here; he can be taken on.

This Katz For Real

Jockey: Luis Tapara Trainer: Julie Mathes Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 087-

Comment: Slumped a bit since winning a maiden claimer at Woodbine last June; behind Booyah (muddy track) over Christmas on first run for current trainer when beaten 12l (seventh of ten) at Mahoning Valley in a claimer; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $4k); now switched to dirt for the first time; makes limited appeal.

Gold Dilemma

Jockey: Ricardo Barrios Trainer: Karl Meeks Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 71-09

Comment: Tailed off five weeks ago (Charles Town) in a claimer; has winning C&D form to his name; in for a $4k tag so down in class ($8k last time); a big ask.

Standinginthefire

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Christophe Logston Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 847-

Comment: Finished out the back (sloppy track) in December in a claimer; generally struggled of late and low strike-rate of 1-16; back from an absence here; unlikely to make any impact.

Free From Guilt

Jockey: Maikol Vilchez Trainer: Robert Inman Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 9-5064

Comment: Posted respectable effort when beaten just under 2l last Tuesday in a claimer; can be a player at this level; shouldn't be too far away given there is limited recent form on offer in this race and lots of promise in his latest performance.
