EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: GENERAL ISSUE is hard to look beyond. He finished ahead of Storm's Reflection and Mr. Universe when last seen and has a good record of rewarding his backers.

Shake Up

Jockey: Israel Hernandez Trainer: Joel Berndt Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: -136

Comment: Not beaten that far in sixth (6l) 28 days ago in a starter allowance; proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fifth win); he can be taken on as has been found wanting at this level before.

U S Honour Nap

Jockey: Kellie McDaid Trainer: Dino Dizeo Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 533495

Comment: Not disgraced when fifth (Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing) two weeks ago in a claimer; three-time winner in his career (from 6f-1m); running on turf for the first time; meeting some horses in good form and others have more pressing claims.

Wicked Suprise

Jockey: Olaf Hernandez Trainer: Cheryl Winebaugh Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 2-675

Comment: Beaten a long way in a claimer last week; boasts winning form over C&D; form lately has been a mixed bag; this line-up contains some strong opposition so easy to oppose.

Temper Tantrum

Jockey: Jareth Loveberry Trainer: Larry Rivelli Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 5411

Comment: From top trainer and on a hat-trick; C&D winner including when successful by just over 1l last month; stable going well a plus; in with a shout.

General Issue

Jockey: Julio Felix Trainer: Antonio Meraz Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 157151

Comment: Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-14) and in great form recently; scored narrowly in a starter allowance when Storm's Reflection and Mr. Universe were behind him three weeks ago; Julio Felix a good booking; leading contender.

Storm's Reflection

Jockey: Valentin Esquivel Trainer: Chris Banks Age/Wt: 7/8-3 F: 7803

Comment: Has won here before; no threat to winner, General Issue, here 21 days ago (finished third) in a starter allowance when beaten 21l on debut for this trainer; this looks a big ask.

Line To Gain

Jockey: Frank Reyes Trainer: Heriberto Villalobos Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 24645

Comment: Quite a while since he tasted success; not disgraced when fifth of six in a claimer (sloppy track) three weeks ago; others more appealing as a few rivals look in good form.

Mr. Universe

Jockey: Brittany Troxtell Trainer: Manny Perez Age/Wt: 7/8-0 F: 6//665

Comment: Behind General Issue when last three weeks ago in a starter allowance upped to this distance; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as a few rivals look in good form.

Vitale

Jockey: Ademar Santos Trainer: Pat Clay Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 4-44

Comment: Was fourth of six, beaten 10l, 15 days ago at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing in a claimer; has won here previously; has won four times from 6f up to 1m½f; should not be ruled out as shown some signs of promise and he can take this step up in class in his stride.

First Masamune

Jockey: Carlos Ulloa Trainer: Carlos Ramirez Age/Wt: 9/8-10 F: 1-613

Comment: Successful twice in his last four starts; beaten 4½l last Thursday when sent off 8-1 upped to this distance in a starter allowance; could have a say.

Double Thunder

Jockey: Frank Reyes Trainer: R Young Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 8-71342

Comment: Often been there or thereabouts lately; brings winning C&D form to the table; went close at 50-1 where just ahead of Shake Up when dropped down to 6f four weeks ago in a starter allowance; now over an extra 2½f.
