Verdict: MARY'S REWARD could be the main beneficiary if the front runners go too fast and put in an eyecatching run last time out. My Little Red, Qualified Hire and Kindred Hearts also warrant respect.

Win For Laila

Jockey: Inoel Beato Trainer: Michael Zalalas Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 1785-7

Comment: Held in seventh at Charles Town over 6½f (claimer) two weeks ago; up in class (in for $10k here, $5k tag last time); hard to see her involved.

My Little Red

Jockey: Francisco Martinez Trainer: Felix Coba Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 84-234

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 9l into fourth) at Monmouth Park ten days ago in a claimer; this is her level; tag drops from $16k to $10k here; has to be respected.

Red Betty

Jockey: Ricardo Chiappe Trainer: George Albright Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 315565

Comment: Struggled a bit since winning a maiden claimer at Penn National in May; not beaten too far when fifth of six upped to this distance three weeks ago splitting Mary's Reward and Golden Limoncello in a claimer; may have to settle for supporting role.

Keep It Safe

Jockey: Sara Fabbro Del Trainer: Jose Samaniego Age/Wt: 4/8-4 F: 6621-6

Comment: Good effort when beaten into third by just over 1l here over 5f (claimer) last Wednesday; if she can build on her latest effort then possesses leading claims.

Golden Limoncello

Jockey: Vladimir Diaz Trainer: Christopher Reck Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 414-6

Comment: Not had much racing - fifth outing here; tailed off in a claimer upped to this distance when behind two of these 20 days ago; makes limited appeal.

Neon City

Comment: Managed just one success in her career to date; finished last of five here over 1m½f (optional claimer, sloppy track) on debut for this handler five weeks ago; others appeal more.

G's Fireball

Jockey: Martina Rojas Trainer: Timothy Kreiser Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 128134

Comment: Represents top trainer and this is her grade; not disgraced when fourth last month in a claimer; now a lower claiming tag ($7.5k from $10k) so down in class; likely to be a threat as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months.

Jockey: Emilio Flores Trainer: Timothy Kreiser Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 311345

Comment: Failed to land a blow when fifth of six 26 days ago (not far behind When Your Strange) in a claimer; represents a powerful trainer and has won eight times over course and distance; leading contender.

When Your Strange

Jockey: Ricardo Chiappe Trainer: George Albright Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 612322

Comment: A prolific C&D winner and is a three-time winner this year; solid second in a claimer four weeks ago; should figure.

Aruma

Jockey: Luis Rivera Trainer: Hugo Padilla Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 65-726

Comment: Was behind two of these rivals last month when last here in a claimer; useful at this level; needs considering given she was second (albeit some way back) two starts ago and her most recent trackwork was pleasing.

Verdict: LUCCI can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front and has a healthy career strike-rate. Capt. Candy and The Bullion Bomber should also be on the premises.

Damir

Jockey: Sara Fabbro Del Trainer: Giovanni Salinas Age/Wt: 7/8-2 F: 4/90-94

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth of ten on his first start for this trainer last month splitting Cheers For Kitten, The Bullion Bomber and Warrior's Cause back down to this distance in a claimer; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win at Christmas 2022); his best looks to be behind him and he can be taken on.

Jockey: Emilio Flores Trainer: Erin McClellan Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 644112

Cheers For Kitten

Jockey: Yabriel Ramos Trainer: Elisha Perez Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 586-82

Comment: C&D has proven suitable before; not beaten far when finished in front of six of these last month in a claimer; can't be ruled out as latest run was an encouraging one and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.
