Verdict: TRINITY RIVER is open to improvement and the abundance of pace up front enhances his claims. Kismeholdmethrlme, Naguile and English Castle must be respected.

Naguile

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Miguel Clement Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Workouts somewhat dispel fitness concerns; Summer Front gets winners on the turf; should not be ruled out with signs of encouragement in profile and trainer is in good order.

Trinity River

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 334-5

Comment: Beaten 19l into fifth (Aqueduct) in January in a maiden special weight; although a maiden, he has shown ability; has had some time off; big run on the cards now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and he has worked well.

Joevia's First

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: Gina Giglio Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 9-856

Comment: This now his fifth attempt to get off the mark; not far behind two of these rivals over 1m1f at Belmont At The Big A (maiden claimer) when beaten 4l in sixth three weeks ago; hard enough to fancy.

Big Ego

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Gustavo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 22467

Comment: Form lately has been a mixed bag and still winless and defeats stacking up (14 on the bounce); finished seventh, beaten 9l, two months ago at Belmont At The Big A in a maiden claimer; passed over.

Kismeholdmethrlme

Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: Gary Sciacca Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 556424

Comment: Has found improvement of late and consistent lately; solid effort in a maiden claimer (Belmont At The Big A, split Blue Pill and Joevia's First) last month; recent display was promising so might have a say.

Solomini's Legacy

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: James Ferraro Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 58644

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 6l, finishing fourth of six over 1m at Belmont At The Big A (maiden claimer) last month (muddy track), behind Kismeholdmethrlme; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

English Castle

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Horacio De Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4-36

Comment: Useful at this level and has kicked on in his last couple of races; not beaten that far in sixth (just under 5l) in a maiden special weight last month; looks likely to be involved.

Blue Pill

Comment: Came home fifth, beaten 6l, at Belmont At The Big A last month upped to 1m1f in a maiden special weight; now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and prospects.

Comment: Yet to finish better than fifth in his six races; last of nine in a maiden special weight (Belmont At The Big A, behind Come Full Circle) last month; now drops to a maiden claimer; first attempt at a claimer.

Wind Dancer

Comment: Yet to open his account after 12 starts but useful at this level; beaten 8l (eighth) in a maiden claimer at Belmont At The Big A three weeks ago; now over an extra 2½f; tag unchanged at $50k.

Alpha Cat

Jockey: Kevin Navarro Trainer: Gabriel Goodwin Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 7-0

Comment: Last of ten here over 6½f (maiden claimer) two weeks ago; this now his sixth attempt to get off the mark but may still have more to offer with few miles on the clock; claiming tag rises to $50k here; up in distance by an extra 2f here.

Nordic Fyre

Comment: First competitive racecourse experience; has plenty of trackwork under his belt; trainer know the time of day; would need to see money for him to get involved.

Verdict: BOSUN likes to stalk the early speed and can reverse last time's placings with Not For Hire. Pay The Juice and Identity Crisis could also have a role to play.

Dancing Bear

Jockey: Victor Espinoza Trainer: Carlos Martin Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 7-04

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 9l into fourth) in a stakes at Belmont At The Big A four weeks ago; this is a step down in class but hard to recommend.

Comment: Finished behind Pay The Juice when beaten 11l 45 days ago in an allowance race; has won at this track; he can be competitive at this level; one to be interested in as shown he can get his head in front.

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; things dropped right over 1m3f at Belmont At The Big A (maiden special weight) when winning by half a length last month; despite that Belmont At The Big A success, others appeal more.

Honey's To Blame

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Kenneth McPeek Age/Wt: 2/8-2

Comment: Bred to improve with age; related to 5f winner Ocean Honey; newcomers from this stable regularly hit the target; interesting to see how he figures in the betting.

Stradale

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Looks the part on breeding (by Yaupon); trainer does well here with debutants; needs to be taken seriously with signs of encouragement in profile and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Emphasis

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Course debutants from this stable always command respect; sire is a rich source of two-year-old winners; related to Grade 3 winner Curly Jack; no surprise to see him go well with signs of encouragement in profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Franklin Delano

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Course debutants for this stable have to be taken seriously; bred to get better with time; sibling of For The Flag (1m winner); market may be informative on his prospects.

Day One Starter

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: III Claude McGaughey Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; makes first racecourse appearance; not one you could be confident about given his lack of experience with the betting likely to be a guide.

S S Quality

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Kenneth McPeek Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: From the same family as Emerald Bay, a winner over 1m; trainer gets plenty of debutant winners; might be one for another day; market may guide.

Growth Equity

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to 6f winner Oh My Mia; looks the part on breeding (by Nyquist); sire gets his share of decent sorts; stable does well at Saratoga with debutants; has to be respected as some good aspects to his profile and the hot form of the trainer is a bonus.

Our Magical Moon

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Looks the part on breeding (by Good Magic); respected coming from these quarters; related to Grade 3 winner Dixie Serenade; should not be far away as some good aspects to his profile and the current trainer form is another tick.

Kairyu

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Cherie Devaux Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 55-3

Pandora's Gift

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Miguel Clement Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 20-25

Comment: Hit the bar in a Grade 3 in April and admirable career strike-rate (four from 12 to date); fair effort when behind the reopposing Pipsy 44 days ago in a Grade 2 on debut for this trainer; an easier task than her previous race; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so should not be far away.

Pipsy

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: William Walden Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 26-11

Comment: Aiming to complete a hat-trick; got the job done in a Grade 2 by half a length 44 days ago when she got the better of Future Is Now and several of these; this represents an easier task than her previous race; has strong claims.

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: John Kimmel Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 152-3

Comment: Proved competitive when hitting the board in a stakes in November; finished third last month albeit only beaten just over 2l at Belmont At The Big A in an allowance optional claimer; can make his presence felt.

Tunisian Spring

Jockey: Victor Espinoza Trainer: John Kirby Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 24-42

Comment: Went down by three-quarters of a length last month when ahead of a couple of these on his first start for this trainer in an allowance optional claimer; has been fairly consistent of late; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023).

Antonio Of Venice

Jockey: Emisael Jaramillo Trainer: R Rodriguez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 23

Comment: Has been fairly consistent of late; possesses winning form at this track; not beaten too far when third here 13 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; is passed over.

Stars And Strides

Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 1

Comment: Gained narrow success here first time out at 17-2 six weeks ago; related to Stakes winner Panther Island; likely to be in contention.

Fifth Avenue

Comment: Not beaten too far when sixth here on his debut for this trainer 41 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; not hard to turn elsewhere.

Executive Order

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Philip Serpe Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 77-19

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from his last five; has won here previously; beaten 13l when ninth of 11 over 5½f here (allowance optional claimer) six weeks ago; others more appealing.

Invictus

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 7-134

Comment: Bumped at the start at Churchill Downs last month in an allowance optional claimer; from a respected trainer and nicely bred (by Into Mischief); stable going well a plus; more than capable if on song so is a player.

Kalahari Dreams

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Philip Bauer Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 2-02419

Comment: Unable to land a blow in ninth (Ellis Park) 16 days ago in an allowance race; has taken a step forward the last twice; has to be respected as shown he can get his head in front and was successful two starts back.

Singleminded

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 61

Comment: Looks the part on breeding (by Win Win Win) and from a respected trainer; gained a first success at the second time of asking when running away with the race at Monmouth Park in a maiden special weight back down to 6f last month; he shouldn't be far away.

Rookie Card

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Danny Gargan Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 21-417

Comment: On target twice in his last four outings; beaten 10l in seventh (sloppy track) last month in an allowance optional claimer; chance.
