Verdict: SOMNIUM is hard to look beyond. Roja and Beyond Question can give the selection something to think about.

Roja

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: H Motion Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 37

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; beaten 13l over 7f at Keeneland (maiden special weight) last month; cannot be ignored given she should have learnt plenty from that experience and has shown some ability on occasion.

Miss Outta My Way

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Trip should suit on breeding (sire has plenty of sprint winners); trainer has a healthy record with newcomers; from the same family as Gold Digging Broad, a winner over 1m½f; might be one for another day; market may guide against horses with experience.

Somnium

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Elizabeth Merryman Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 23-

Comment: Finishing third was a good effort when getting across to lead early from a wide stall at Penn National five months ago in a maiden special weight; related to Grade 1 winner Caravel; returns from a break here; big run on the cards.

Mo Hype

Jockey: Xavier Perez Trainer: John Robb Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 2-35

Comment: Problems at the start (stumbled) here over 6f (maiden special weight) when beaten 15l in February; without a win in three attempts although has finished second; sire gets turf winners; is passed over.

Devilish One

Jockey: Sheldon Russell Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5

Comment: Held on her debut over 6f here when finishing fifth of six (just behind Veola) at 9-2 last month; from a powerful trainer; the stable has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; if finding progression from her initial experience, in the mix.

Town Light

Jockey: Victor Carrasco Trainer: Phil Schoenthal Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to Grade 3 winner Safeen; sire does get winners on the turf; others look more obvious on paper; she could be one for another day.

Veola

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Keri Brion Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4

Comment: Held fourth of six but was making her first appearance (here, 6f) at 9-5 last month; has a nice pedigree (by Vekoma); sire does get winners on the turf; possible improver with outing under her belt although has plenty to find.

Beyond Question

Jockey: J G Torrealba Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 728-

Comment: Below expectations when eighth at 85-40 (Colonial Downs) in August in a maiden special weight; returns from an absence here; prospects despite defeat last time as was second two runs back and she was strong in the market last time.

Tough Workout

Jockey: Xavier Perez Trainer: Sarah White Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 708244

Comment: Respectable fourth in a claimer three weeks ago; perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling and an infrequent winner; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $8k); regularly been coming up a bit short lately so hard enough to fancy.

Parkerness

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 70-29

Comment: Behind two of these 44 days ago when ninth here (sloppy track) in a claimer; a winner over C&D; can be a player at this level; can be in the mix as lower claiming tag should make this easier and he finished second two runs ago.

Super Needy

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: Timothy Salzman Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 7-2215

Comment: Failed to land a blow when fifth of ten in a claimer (sloppy track) last month; suited by this C&D; this is his grade; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $8k); shortlisted if excused most recent run as achieved claimer success two runs back and shown he can get his head in front.

Jockey: Weston Hamilton Trainer: Selvin Hernandez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: -9693

Jockey: Sheldon Russell Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 460615

Comment: From a powerful yard and can be a player at this level; fair effort (sloppy track) at Pimlico two weeks ago in a claimer; claiming tag drops from $20k; has strong claims if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

Jockey: Carol Cedeno Trainer: Lacey Gaudet Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 5-454

Comment: Achieved just the one win; respectable effort over 7f here (claimer, muddy track) last month; now a lower claiming tag ($16k from $25k) so down in class.

Comment: Good effort when close up at Charles Town four weeks ago in a claimer; just her fifth outing so still early days; in for a $16k tag here, up from $10k last time; has to be taken seriously.

Just The Thing

Jockey: Matilda Burnham Trainer: Jose Corrales Age/Wt: 4/8-3 F: 423334

Comment: Only once has she got into the winners' enclosure; close up behind Thunder In Paris when fourth in a claimer (sloppy track) 29 days ago; $12.5k claiming tag this time (up from $10k); been struggling to get her head in front recently so she can be taken on.

Sharmin

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Hugh McMahon Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 45-05

Comment: Finished fifth but only beaten just under 3l at Pimlico over 5f (claimer) 15 days ago; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023) but not many miles on the clock; moves down to an easier grade (in for $16k).

Magnolia Wind

Jockey: Wesley Ho Trainer: Bernard Dunham Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 7-

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten just over 3l in seventh, problems in the gate at the start) in October in a claimer; seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice and she can be competitive at this level; returns from a break here; no surprise to see her go well as lower claiming tag should make this easier and has proved she knows how to win.

Carolina Sun

Jockey: Sara Fabbro Del Trainer: Susan Cooney Age/Wt: 6/8-3 F: 6560-

Comment: Achieved just the one win and recent form hardly the most inspiring; tailed off at 11-5 at Charles Town six months ago in a claimer; back from an absence here; others more persuasive as no longer in her pomp.

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 1-6

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when sixth of 12 splitting Sharmin and Any Fools Gold last month on debut for this handler in a claimer; from top trainer; likely to be in contention if excused most recent run as achieved maiden claimer success two runs back and has proved she knows how to win.

Any Fools Gold

Jockey: Daniel Centeno Trainer: Donnovan Haughton Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 80-76

Comment: Has run well here recently without winning but form is hit and miss; not disgraced in sixth (sloppy track) at Pimlico last Thursday in a claimer; found this claiming level has been beyond her recently so is passed over.

Comment: Form could be levelling off; finished last of seven upped to 1m three weeks ago (bumped at the start) in a claimer; in for a $12.5k tag so up in class ($10k last time); may have to settle for supporting role.

Comment: Not disgraced when ninth over 5f at Pimlico (claimer) two weeks ago; claiming tag drops to $16k (from $25k); more than capable if on song so has to be high on list.

Comment: Finished last of nine in October in an allowance optional claimer; likes this combination of C&D; from respected stable; returns from a layoff here; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $16k); has strong claims if reproducing form of her win three starts back.

Comment: Managed three wins in his last six outings; can be a player at this level; finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (8l) in an allowance race 23 days ago; he's an attractive contender as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals and his last run (after a break) should have set him up for this.

Holy Synchronicity

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Rodolfo Salomon Age/Wt: 6/8-4 F: 6-7462

Comment: Bobbled at the start in an optional claimer when a close second (sloppy track) with Afraidofthebunny just behind three weeks ago; may not have any more improvement left and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); may find this lower level more suitable (in for $20k); his best looks to be behind him and looks an unlikely winner.

Verdict: It is hard to get away from MISSION NORTH. He has been a winner once over this C&D and could see the likely strong pace tee things up nicely for him. Mission Artemis, King's River and Coringa should also be on the premises.

Mr Jefferson

Jockey: Johan Rosado Trainer: Lacey Gaudet Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 2-51

Comment: Got home in front by 1l two weeks ago at Pimlico in an optional claimer; has chalked up two wins from his last four; has won here before; class rise to contend with.

Thataway

Comment: Admirable career strike-rate (three from 12 to date); was on the premises (runner-up, beaten just over 1l) over 1m½f here (allowance race) three weeks ago; hard enough to fancy as has been found wanting at this level before.

Jockey: J G Torrealba Trainer: Jason Smith Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 75-

Verdict: SAKETUMI looks set for a big run. He should be forgiven a lacklustre latest run and is proven at the trip. El de Larry, Kendama and Big Big Star should also be considered.

Prince Khozan

Jockey: Carlos Lopez Trainer: Elizabeth Mccue Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 360-3

Comment: Quite a while since he tasted success and could be at the extent of his ability; finished just behind Kendama when third in an optional claimer at Pimlico two weeks ago; booking of Carlos Lopez takes the eye.

Saketumi

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: William Dowling Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 717-

Comment: Finished seventh, beaten 13l, in an allowance optional claimer (Penn National) in August; can be a player at this level and useful in his prime; returns from a layoff; in with a big shout if duplicating the form of his most recent win and he won an allowance race two runs back.

The Last Scip

Jockey: J G Torrealba Trainer: Suzanne Stettinius Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 8227-2

Comment: Beaten narrowly at Pimlico (sloppy track) two weeks ago in an optional claimer; track has proven suitable before; better than this level in his prime; easy to see him making an impression if backing up last run and possible he'll have come on from most recent start.

El De Larry

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: W Bailes Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 2-1224

Comment: He can be competitive at this level and produced a string of consistent efforts; somewhat disappointing when finishing fourth (8-13) in an optional claimer 50 days ago; prospects if finding his best form and has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Jockey: Ismerio Villalobos Trainer: Kieron Magee Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 64-2

Uninvited Guest

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 66-63

Comment: Finished third two weeks ago albeit only beaten just over 4l when close behind The Last Scip (Pimlico, sloppy track) in an optional claimer; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; should get involved if confirming promise shown last time and sights are lowered reflected by lower claiming tag.

Comment: Bids to pull off a hat-trick and record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-11); narrow winner of a claimer in October; returns from a break here; likely to be involved.
