Verdict: PEARL OF ACLAIM is fancied for this. He will go well if repeating the sort of form he showed in his latest exploits and the likely strong pace up front is a plus. J R Jone Z and Willy Willy are also respected.

Comment: Lightly raced with this just his fifth appearance; sire gets turf winners; finished last of six here over 6f (optional claimer, sloppy track) three weeks ago; shown he can get his head in front so can make a bold bid.

Jockey: Jean Aguilar Trainer: Michael Pino Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 27-22

Comment: Not beaten far when second in a claimer (Turfway Park) in March; string of consistent efforts of late; one to consider if building on last performance and his latest performance on the clock offers hope he can cope with the tag rise.

Comment: Not had much racing for his age and seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; narrow winner of a maiden special weight when opening his account at the fifth time of asking at Presque Isle Downs last month; difficult to oppose.
