Comment: Last of six at Belmont At The Big A last month in a claimer; he can be competitive at this level; calmer waters here (in for $17.5k, $30k tag last time); more than capable if on song so must be respected.

Comment: A long time since her last win; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Belmont At The Big A (beaten just under 4l) in an allowance optional claimer three weeks ago; this looks a decent race so unlikely to trouble the principals.

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: Thomas Morley Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 2-315

12/1

Comment: Held in fifth in an allowance optional claimer (Belmont At The Big A) 47 days ago; has displayed improved form on last two starts; easy enough to take on as this is competitive.

Without Caution

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Cherie Devaux Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 64-6

14/1

Comment: Can boast winning form over this C&D; largely disappointing since successful in a maiden special weight at Saratoga a year ago; finished last of six at Fair Grounds in February in a stakes; returns from a break today; now drops in class but others have more pressing claims.

Papiamento

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: Whitworth Beckman Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 023-36

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing sixth in an allowance race at Churchill Downs three weeks ago; brings winning C&D form to the table; hard enough to fancy as a few rivals look in good form.

Asbury Park

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 5-1

Comment: Related to Grade 2 winner Spanish Mission and represents a powerful trainer; easy maiden special weight winner when registering his first success at the second time of asking five weeks ago; first run in claiming company; can make his presence felt.

Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 61-4

Assertiveness

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 4-135

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Otello; fair effort at Belmont At The Big A over 6f (stakes) 48 days ago; first attempt in claiming company; likely to be thereabouts as shown he can get his head in front and drop into claiming grade should help.

Fond Farewell
