Comment: Could not compete with Gottagetitback when third 13 days ago (sloppy track) in a claimer; recent runs have been consistent and admirable career strike-rate (six from 26 to date); he can make a bold bid as lower claiming tag should make this easier and recent run should have blown away any cobwebs.

Comment: Many recent course efforts have been encouraging; held in fifth four weeks ago at Mahoning Valley when dropped back to 6f (muddy track) in a claimer; now down in class (in for $4k from $7.5k); passed over.

Resist The Devil

25/1

Comment: Last of six over 6½f at Charles Town (optional claimer) 11 days ago on debut for this trainer; has managed ten wins from 34 career runs; not hard to turn elsewhere as now looks to be past his prime.

Sweet Soddy J

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Norman Cash Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 55-72

Comment: A previous winner here; ran well when beaten 1½l 20 days ago behind Out Of Cents in an allowance optional claimer; deeper waters here (in for $15k here, $12.5k tag last time); jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and possesses leading claims.

Out Of Cents

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 9/8-8 F: -561

Comment: Narrow scorer in an allowance optional claimer when dropped in distance last month; brings winning C&D form to the table; $15k claiming tag this time (up from $12.5k); others more persuasive as no longer in his pomp.

Comment: Has won here before; has maintained her consistent level of form; narrowly beaten to finish third when favourite in an allowance race (muddy track) at Mahoning Valley two months ago; could be hard to beat as shown she can win fairly recently.

Comment: Running consistently; has winning form at this track; finished fourth, beaten just over 3l to Thelastsay in November in an allowance race; returns from a break here; others appeal more as has a lot on her plate here.

Comment: Held in eighth over 6½f at Turfway Park (claimer), showing early speed to lead from a wide draw New Year's Eve; has won here; this is her grade; returns from a layoff; Ricardo Feliciano will be looking to further their good record; ought to be competitive.
