Comment: From a respected stable; beaten only narrowly over 6½f here (maiden claimer) last month on debut for this trainer; very interesting as recent performance was encouraging.

Comment: Not beaten far last month in a maiden claimer; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; hard to ignore if reproducing most recent effort and latest speed figure suggests he can mix it with these despite the higher tag.

Mustang Lady

Jockey: J R Leparoux Trainer: Troy Newton Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 47-254

Comment: Generally struggled with a record of 1-22 but useful in her prime; finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (8l, muddy track) at Keeneland in April in a claimer; should not be far away as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and she has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Lemon Muffin

Jockey: Nik Juarez Trainer: D Lukas Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 345215

Comment: Has winning track form; held when fifth beaten 14l (Pimlico) last month in a stakes; no surprise to see her go well given she won an allowance optional claimer two runs back and drop into claiming grade should help.

Comment: Has proven competitive in a race of this nature; not beaten too far when fifth at Keeneland in an allowance optional claimer on her first start for this trainer (behind Chilled) 51 days ago; capable if in the mood so hard to dismiss.

My Boy Tony

Comment: He can be competitive at this level; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 3½l) last month in an allowance race; he's a serious player as pick of form offers some encouragement.

Comment: Has raised his game the last twice; landed a narrow success in a maiden special weight (Horseshoe Indianapolis) last month, getting off the mark at the sixth attempt; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as has his stamina to prove at this trip.

Derek's Law

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Thomas Amoss Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 41-73

Comment: Just his fifth outing so still early days; related to Stakes winner Tony's Tapit; fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing third of seven over 1m here (claimer) last month; deserves respect if replicating the best of his form.
