Maiden Rock

Jockey: Jareth Loveberry Trainer: Blanca Candelas Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 4467-3

Comment: A while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023) and could be at the extent of her ability; beaten 14l in third in a claimer (split Lily's Creed and Signature Street) two weeks ago on debut for this trainer; others appeal more.

Jockey: Mitchell Murrill Trainer: Eduardo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 57-94

Comment: All five wins around this trip; finished in front of two of these when beaten 8l in fourth last month in a claimer; one to take seriously as has been on the scene in the recent past.

Silky Warrior

Jockey: Julio Felix Trainer: Francisco Villa Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 197-4

Comment: Held in fourth four weeks ago in an optional claimer; has a good record at this venue, including three C&D wins and one-time useful performer; can have a big say as her last run (after a break) should have set her up nicely for this.

Lunarchy

Jockey: Israel Hernandez Trainer: Pedro Flores Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 60-545

Comment: Found life tough when 12l back in fifth in a claimer 14 days ago; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); makes limited appeal.

Comment: Has managed seven wins from 27 career runs and loves this venue (four wins from 12 course runs); not beaten far when second in a claimer finished just ahead of Kitten Rocks last week; now moved up in the grades (in for $5k); recent effort was creditable so capable of going well.

Kitten Rocks

Jockey: Valentin Esquivel Trainer: Earl Hughes Age/Wt: 7/8-0 F: 24-7

Comment: Beaten 15l into seventh in a claimer dropped down to this trip last week behind Awesome Sunday, on debut for this trainer; possible she has reached the ceiling of her ability and hasn't won for a while; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; readily passed over as no great record on second run back following a layoff.

Rainy Mountain

Jockey: Santiago Gonzalez Trainer: Frank Kirby Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 785-17

Comment: Last of seven over 6f here (optional claimer) last week; likes it here (four wins); moves down to an easier grade (in for $7.5k); must go on the shortlist as would have leading chance if back in the same form she showed when winning two starts ago.

Midnight Blue Note

Jockey: Frank Reyes Trainer: Hugo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 12/8-10 F: 8-457

Comment: Season-ticket holder here with three wins; not disgraced when seventh of eight in a claimer last Sunday; should be in the mix as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and he has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Flying Samurai

Jockey: Brittany Troxtell Trainer: Chris Ryan Age/Wt: 8/8-0 F: 7-6777

Comment: Perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling and not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Hawthorne in August; behind Code Runner when seventh 14 days ago (sluggish at the start) in a claimer; his best looks to be behind him and hard to fancy.

Verdict: YO DAWG is a reliable type and the abundance of pace up front enhances his claims. Rotary Dial can give the selection most to think about.

Rotary Dial

Jockey: Mitchell Murrill Trainer: Eduardo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 8-32122

Comment: Beaten just under 2l in a claimer two weeks ago; has been consistent of late and wins-runs record of 7-30; now running on turf for the first time; should be in the mix as his speed figure last time suggests he can handle this field.

Late Blacksmith

Jockey: Frank Reyes Trainer: Elias Lopez Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 68-44

Comment: Out of the money, beaten just over 3l, when fourth (Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing) last month in an allowance optional claimer; been generally quiet since successful in an allowance optional claimer at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing in October; switching to turf for the first time.

Comment: Admirably consistent and this is his grade; finished fourth beaten just over 5l in a claimer last month; tag drops from $25k to $12.5k here; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so likely to be a contender.

Devils Red

Jockey: Santiago Gonzalez Trainer: David Reid Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 67714

Comment: A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 6-27; not beaten too far when fourth here in a claimer upped to 1m with Honest To Goodness just behind two weeks ago; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so should give it a bold bid.

Comment: Last of nine in an optional claimer two weeks ago behind two of these on debut for this trainer; has scored over C&D; this is his grade; up in class (in for $12.5k here, $10k tag last time); shown he can win fairly recently and should go well.

Jockey: Jareth Loveberry Trainer: Tanner Tracy Age/Wt: 11/8-10 F: -77

Comment: A previous winner here; he can be competitive at this level; finished ahead of two of these rivals when fourth beaten 1½l 14 days ago in an optional claimer; claiming tag rises to $12.5k here; has '1s' by his name and should be thereabouts.

Comment: Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; struggled a bit since winning a maiden special weight at Hawthorne last June; failed to land a blow when eighth of nine two weeks ago in an optional claimer; Brittany Troxtell a good booking; claiming value rises from $15k last time; others more persuasive.

Byword

Jockey: Olaf Hernandez Trainer: Earl Hughes Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 9015

Comment: Safely held here 14 days ago behind Bigfoot Sighting when fifth of seven in a claimer; lightly raced (this just his fifth race); a winner over C&D; now up to allowance level so hard to see him doing much.

Verdict: BETWITHBOTHHANDS is hard to look beyond. He will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast, while Fast Jack and Congrats On Fifty can't be ruled out either.

Fast Jack

Jockey: Alexander Bendezu Trainer: Scott Becker Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 21-

Comment: From a respected trainer and a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 9-15; recorded a comfortable success in August at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing in an allowance optional claimer; now running on turf for the first time; returns from a layoff; capable of making an impact as he goes well fresh.

Congrats On Fifty

Jockey: Jareth Loveberry Trainer: Hugh Robertson Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 731-00

Comment: Finished 11th of 12 at Oaklawn Park over 6f (claimer) last month; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); down in class now, dropping from a $35k tag; jockey does well from inside draws here so rates a likely contender.

Midnight Special

Jockey: Alexis Centeno Trainer: Daniel Simonovich Age/Wt: 9/8-10 F: 8-858U

Comment: Has won at this course; not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Hawthorne in October; failed to complete at Gulfstream Park last month in a claimer; in for a $25k tag so up in class ($10k last time); now looks to be past his prime and only limited appeal.

Comiskey Park

Jockey: Orlando Mojica Trainer: Armando Hernandez Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 255-

Comment: Finished in front of two of these in an allowance race (bumped at the start) when fifth of seven (muddy track) in August; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 8-37 and one-time useful operator; returns from an absence here; no surprise to see him go well given his record when fresh.

Twirling Roses

Jockey: Mitchell Murrill Trainer: Eduardo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 241231

Comment: Has achieved 13 wins from 64 career runs; got the job done in a claimer by a head last month; he can be taken on as no longer in his pomp.

Xpressir

Jockey: Santiago Gonzalez Trainer: Max Quinonez Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 916-1

Comment: Has managed four wins from 17 career runs; gained a just over 2l success at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing last month in a claimer; up in class (in for $35k here, $7.5k tag last time); tries turf for the first time; hard to entertain despite the last time out success.

Betwithbothhands

Jockey: Ademar Santos Trainer: Armando Hernandez Age/Wt: 9/8-10 F: 0//

Comment: Beaten a long way in 2022 at Turfway Park in an allowance optional claimer; has won at this course; has a long absence to overcome; difficult to oppose; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and he was third three runs ago.

Mister Kelly

Jockey: Olaf Hernandez Trainer: Cheryl Winebaugh Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 5-336

Comment: Useful at this level and not at his best last time although had previously shown useful form; comfortably beaten finishing sixth over 6f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (optional claimer) three weeks ago; steps down in trip.

Gavel

Comment: Behind Twirling Roses when runner-up, beaten a head last month in a claimer; suited by this C&D; from a respected stable; drops in trip; in for the same $25k tag.
