Timaeus

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: R Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 41266

Comment: Scored by just under 5l 14 days ago in a claimer; claiming value rises from $17.5k last time; others more likely despite that win last time.

Bob John Ray

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Rob Atras Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 588-4

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 15l into fourth) in a claimer on debut for new trainer at Belmont At The Big A last month; now a lower claiming tag ($30k from $50k) so down in class; in the mix if finding his best form.

Glint

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 11742

Comment: All his winning form has come at Aqueduct (two successes) but is a multiple winner this year; good effort when just over 4l second (Belmont At The Big A) last month in a claimer; could be dangerous.

Az U Chase Me

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Chris Englehart Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 15324

Lou

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 526344

Comment: Has been consistent of late; fourth but only beaten less than a length over 7f at Belmont At The Big A (optional claimer) 28 days ago; moves down to an easier grade (in for $30k); could be hard to beat if replicating most recent run.

Indy Magic

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Joe Sharp Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 46614

Comment: Unable to land a blow in fourth over 1m½f at Churchill Downs (claimer) on first run for current trainer last month; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; tag has been dropped to $30k; must go on the shortlist if excused most recent run as achieved claimer success two runs back and has proved he knows how to win.

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Elizabeth Merryman Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 9-524

Comment: Solid effort when beaten just over 2l to finish third at Belmont At The Big A 19 days ago in a maiden special weight; his jockey has an impressive record from low numbers over this C&D so must be considered.

Spirit Of The Law

Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: Barclay Tagg Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 672-33

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts and produced a string of consistent efforts; finished in front of two of these here over 1m½f (maiden special weight) when on the premises, finishing third at 17-2 last month; recent effort was creditable so is of interest.

Comment: Was disappointing when fourth at 10-11 over 1m½f at Belmont At The Big A (maiden special weight) in October; returns from a break here; the yard has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; a leading contender as has bits and pieces of decent form and market vibes last time suggest he is capable of better.

God Given

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; attractively bred son of Laoban; trainer can ready a newcomer; from the same family as Derivative, a winner over 6f; interesting to see how he figures in the betting with others looking more obvious on paper.

Prince Of Dance

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Chris Englehart Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 3

Comment: Ran encouragingly on his debut when third over 6f at Belmont At The Big A at 13-1 last month; this demands more than last time so will need to progress on this second career run.

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 2-5117

Verdict: TACTICAL TRACKSTAR looks set for a big run. He is running for the second time and is less exposed than some of these and is likely to have learnt from his debut run, while Army Proud, Fiddling Felix and Aerate should also be taken seriously.

Nice Try Riley

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Philip Serpe Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 70

Comment: Looks the part on breeding (by Speightster); lightly raced (running for just the third time); was tenth of 11, beaten 16l, in April upped to 1m (Gulfstream Park) in a maiden special weight; first attempt at a claimer; can only watch.

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Belmont At The Big A (beaten 4l) last month in a maiden claimer; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $20k); definitely of interest as has been on the scene in the recent past.

Comment: Stepped up on his last two starts; turned in a solid effort in defeat four weeks ago, when runner-up (muddy track) at Belmont At The Big A in a maiden claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $20k here; can figure as recent effort was encouraging.

Rocket Robin

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Michelle Nevin Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Too B Wed

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Horacio De Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to 7f winner Get Off My Tail; from a trainer with a solid record with debutants; sire a rich source of juvenile winners; must be high on list as some good aspects to her profile.

Ticket To Ride

Jockey: Shaun Bridgmohan Trainer: Melanie Giddings Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 5

Bella Bello Banker

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: R Rodriguez Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 7

Chardonnay Derby

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; stable gets plenty of debutant winners; can be on the premises as trainer form is a positive and her sire suggests the distance might suit.

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Philip Serpe Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: First start in public for this daughter of Weekend Hideaway; overlooked unless the market says otherwise.

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; Horacio De Paz-trained newcomers have a healthy record; shares a dam with Yougottahavehope, a 6f winner; newcomer by Union Rags; bred to improve with age; passed over unless attracting strong support.

My Devine One

Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Jockey: Luis Rivera Jr Trainer: James Ferraro Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Plenty of trackwork in the book; from the same family as Get Your Gold, a winner over 6f; the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; trainer often leaves something to work on.

Comment: Unable to land a blow when eighth of ten over 7f here (allowance optional claimer, sloppy track) last month; competitive shout as has bits and pieces of decent form and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Comment: All his winning form has come at Gulfstream Park (two successes); produced an encouraging effort (third of nine, beaten just over 2l) over 1m½f at Belmont At The Big A (optional claimer) on first run for this trainer 26 days ago; jockey booking heightens interest; needs considering as recent performance was encouraging.

Film Academy

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 54-

Comment: Beaten 6l in fourth in a maiden special weight last July; not yet off the mark in five attempts although has finished second; returns from a layoff; in first-time blinkers; should be involved based on the pick of his form and he now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: Thomas Morley Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 47

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Absatootly; not beaten too far when seventh here in a maiden special weight six weeks ago; blinkers fitted for the first time; can give it a good shot now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer.

Mozambique

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 2-9

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Bank On Anna and winless in three starts but has shown promise with second his top showing; failed to land a blow when ninth of 11 over 7f here (maiden special weight, sloppy track) six weeks ago; first run in claiming company; his sights are now lowered to a maiden claimer.

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Jena Antonucci Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 89-595
