Verdict: IT'LL DO is a firm choice. He is a two-time winner at this track and sets the form standard based on his most recent effort. Southern Horse and Strong Finish should also be in the mix.

Strong Finish

Jockey: Ismerio Villalobos Trainer: Robert Klesaris Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 1443-

Comment: Course regular who has won three times here and recent runs have been consistent; not disgraced when third of seven last April in a claimer; has a long absence to overcome; not dismissed.

Hazednconfused

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Carlos Mancilla Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 1833

Comment: Achieved each of his three career wins at Charles Town; not disgraced when third (muddy track) at Charles Town four weeks ago in a claimer; down in class now, dropping from a $10k tag; likely to be a threat if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

Sumo

Jockey: Brinton Arnold Trainer: Lacey Gaudet Age/Wt: 7/8-1 F: 256446

Comment: Not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023) and possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; was held in sixth here over 7f (claimer) last month; may have to settle for supporting role as this could be a hot race.

Verdict: PEONY has shown she can get her head in front and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick. Jewish Mother and Sharmin can't be ruled out either.

Carolina Sun

Jockey: Sara Fabbro Del Trainer: Susan Cooney Age/Wt: 6/8-3 F: 560-4

Comment: Fair effort in a claimer splitting Seap, Sharmin and Sippin' Time on her debut for new trainer last month; been a while since she managed only win; her best looks to be behind her and looks opposable.

Paperback Edition

Jockey: Xavier Perez Trainer: Mary Eppler Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 8-2421

Comment: Signs of improvement on last two runs; off the mark when winning by 2½l (muddy track) at Pimlico last month in a maiden claimer; first run on turf; easy enough to take on as a bit to find on the evidence of recent speed figures.

Sharmin

Jockey: Weston Hamilton Trainer: Hugh McMahon Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 6-563

Comment: Produced a good effort to finish third in a claimer splitting Seap, Carolina Sun and Sippin' Time last month; suited by this C&D; can't be ruled out.

A P M Notion

Jockey: Yomar Ortiz Trainer: David Mohan Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 906-1

Comment: Stepped up on her last two starts; caused a surprise when landing a maiden claimer over 6f by 3½l last Sunday, getting off the mark at the seventh attempt; class riser as runs for a $16k tag here; she's hard to fancy despite that win last time.

Comment: Represents a powerful stable and has displayed improved form on last two starts; broke her duck at the seventh attempt when in front by just over 2l in a maiden claimer 22 days ago; competitive shout as the lower claiming tag shouldn't put you off given her effort last time.

Comment: A winner over this C&D; fair effort over 5f at Pimlico (allowance optional claimer) last month; this line-up contains some strong opposition so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Exploration

Jockey: Sheldon Russell Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 6-114

Comment: Managed two wins in his last three outings; from a powerful trainer; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Pimlico (beaten 7l) separating re-opposing rivals Band Camp and Freeze The Fire in a similar race last month in an allowance optional claimer; he has a shout.

Jockey: Xavier Perez Trainer: Erin McClellan Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 66-

Comment: Finished last of six in a maiden claimer when dropped in distance at Penn National (sloppy track) six months ago; up in class (in for $20k here, $16k tag last time); returns from a layoff; makes limited appeal.

Comment: Long-standing maiden but has shown some recent improvement; finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (8l) over 6f here (maiden claimer) last week; deeper waters here (in for $16k here, $12.5k tag last time); should be thereabouts.

Miss Smarty Z

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Erin McClellan Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 677-

Comment: Yet to get off the mark in four attempts (fifth her best finish); first-time blinkers had no impact in a maiden claimer (sloppy track) at Penn National when back to this trip in December; in for a $16k tag here, up from $14k last time; returns from a layoff; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as has not been seen doing much trackwork recently.

Formal Order

Jockey: Xavier Perez Trainer: William Campbell Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 5-8642

Comment: Outran 16-1 odds when a close runner-up two months ago with Toast To Coast and Kick Startness behind in a claimer; course specialist (three wins) but may have reached limits of his ability; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $5k); probably unlikely to trouble the principals as no longer in his pomp.

Kick Startness

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: -85352

Comment: Has been fairly consistent this year; near miss when favourite at Parx over 1m½f (claimer) last month; the yard is going well; he shouldn't be far away if reproducing most recent effort.
