Verdict: CASTAGNO likes to stalk the early speed and is proven at the trip. Rustys Gfivefifty and Silver Style are more names to consider.

Veloce

Jockey: Brandon Tapara Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 8/8-13 F: 3-34

Comment: Found life tough when 6l back in fourth upped to this trip last month in a claimer; has largely been consistent of late; a long time since his last win; others more persuasive as recent speed figures suggest he will be up against it here.

Rustys Gfivefifty

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Erin McClellan Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 495151

Comment: Had something to spare at the finish when winning in a claimer at Penn National ten days ago upped to this distance; successful twice in his last three starts; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; likely to be thereabouts as recent win suggests he can handle the step up in class.

Triple Start

Jockey: Walber Alencar Trainer: John Fennessy Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 17-542

Comment: Suited by this C&D; good effort when 1l second in a claimer 14 days ago upped to this distance; can be in the mix.

Silver Style

Jockey: Israel Rodriguez Trainer: Kevin Rice Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 7-6675

Comment: Successful three times from 29 career outings (5f-7f); solid effort (Tampa Bay Downs) four months ago in a claimer; returns from a layoff here; should not be far away as showed promise in workout two weeks ago and his last run was encouraging.

Castagno

Jockey: Willie Martinez Trainer: Moises Valdez Age/Wt: 8/8-13 F: 43545

Comment: Could not manage better than fifth in an optional claimer last month on debut for this trainer; claiming tag drops from $10k; has shown glimpses of ability recently and no surprise if he has a big say.

Founder

Jockey: Victor Severino Trainer: Moises Valdez Age/Wt: 7/8-13 F: 7-73

Comment: Finished third when beaten just under 3l in a claimer (Mountaineer Park) last week; four-time winner in his career (from 6f-1m½f); claiming tag now upped from $4k; now looks to be past his prime and makes little appeal.

Jockey: Brooke Bays Trainer: John Fennessy Age/Wt: 9/8-6 F: 7-56

Comment: Finished behind Triple Start 14 days ago when beaten 8l (sixth of eight) in a claimer; has won nine times from 5½f up to 1m½f; his best looks to be behind him and looks opposable.

Verdict: I'M HEADING EAST looks to have claims of extending her winning run and should be suited by the abundance of pace up front. Solair and Red Wren are interesting.

Comment: Finished just behind Solair when fourth in October in a claimer; normally pretty consistent but no wins at this trip; returns from an absence here; passed over as this could be a hot race.

Shorty Mac

Jockey: Brooke Bays Trainer: Shelly Radosevich Age/Wt: 6/8-4 F: 35-66

Comment: Resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a sixth career win); finished last of six in an allowance optional claimer on her debut for this trainer upped to 6½f last month; tag has been dropped to $8.5k; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Red Wren

Jockey: J G Torrealba Trainer: Jose Vargas Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 867711

Comment: Aiming for a third C&D win after her success here last month; bidding for hat-trick; jockey booking is a positive; although up in class she appears to be in top form so capable of going well.

Jockey: Pablo Morales Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 527264

Jockey: Antonio Gallardo Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 9-511

Solair

Jockey: Mike Allen Trainer: Lisa Allen Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 165552

Comment: Beaten a head in a claimer last month; in for a $8.5k tag here, up from $6.3k last time; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so likely to be involved.

Where You Was

Jockey: Gaddiel Martinez Trainer: Randall Russell Age/Wt: 10/8-11 F: 21-213

Comment: Showing consistent form and useful in his prime; creditable third in a claimer three weeks ago; claiming tag drops to $10k (from $15k); leading claims.

Span Of Control

Jockey: Kris Fox Trainer: Shelly Radosevich Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 225-43

Comment: Creditable third, beaten 1l, of five last month on his debut for new trainer in a claimer; boasts a creditable three from 19 record at this track but possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; been struggling to get his head in front recently so may be vulnerable.

Straightoutadutton

Jockey: David Delgado Trainer: Randall Russell Age/Wt: 10/8-11 F: 12537-

Comment: Although no show last time out, he had been running consistently well prior to that and goes very well here with six course-and-distance wins to his name; no threat to winner, Where You Was, here in October (finished seventh) upped to 6½f when beaten 7l in an optional claimer; returns from a break here; is passed over as best days now look to behind him.

Sip'n' Speed

Comment: Won by just over 2l in a maiden claimer, opening her account at the seventh time of asking last month; seems to be improving based on last two runs; very interesting as her rider is capable of making the most of a favourable draw and the lower claiming tag shouldn't put you off.

Jockey: Willie Martinez Trainer: Moises Valdez Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: -785

Smiles For David

Jockey: Francisco Garcia Trainer: Lawrence Antus Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 69866

Comment: No impression when sixth of eight on Wednesday in a claimer; recent form is unremarkable; now moved up in the grades (in for $6.3k); record suggests she is usually one to take on for win purposes so others have more pressing claims.

Verdict: TEAR JERKER is hard to look beyond. He has displayed a real will to win of late and can confirm placings with Live Stream, Happy Henney and Duck Hunter, who were behind him when last seen.

Leftnateawalkin

Jockey: Rosario Montanez Trainer: Scooter Davis Age/Wt: 2/8-8

Comment: Recent workouts point to readiness; breeding suggests he may get better with age; looks likely to go well with signs of encouragement in profile and the stable is hot at the moment.

Go Simple

Jockey: Pablo Morales Trainer: Timothy Hamm Age/Wt: 2/8-8 F: 3

Comment: Finished third and beaten 9l first time out over 4½f here where just ahead of Tear Jerker at 13-1 34 days ago; should not be far away now that he knows a little more.

Jockey: Patrick Husbands Trainer: Steven Chircop Age/Wt: 2/8-8

Comment: Recent workouts point to readiness; from the same family as Just Magnificent, a winner over 7f; record of the trainer offers some encouragement; worth a look in the market but could be better for this experience.

Duck Hunter

Jockey: Ronald Allen Jr Trainer: Leland Hayes Age/Wt: 2/8-8 F: 7

Comment: Held on his debut (here, 4½f) at 25-1 three weeks ago; should improve with a run under his belt although it was only a modest start.
