Verdict: CENTSOFWANDER has an obvious shout. He is fancied to reverse the placings with Krug from their last meeting and the likely strong pace up front is a plus.

Zero Gravity

Jockey: Andrew Ramgeet Trainer: Tina Ramgeet Age/Wt: 10/8-8 F: 5-56445

Comment: Not beaten too far when fifth of seven in a starter allowance two weeks ago; a winner on 13 occasions from 1m to 1m5f but not always shown an awful lot since winning an allowance optional claimer at Mountaineer Park in October; others have more pressing claims as no longer in his pomp.

Centsofwander

Jockey: Yuri Yaranga Trainer: Jeff Fletcher Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: -1532

Comment: Smart performer at one stage; behind Krug 21 days ago (sloppy track) upped to this distance when 7l runner-up in a claimer; in for a $4k tag so down in class ($6.5k last time); strong contender.

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Moises Valdez Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 7-7

Comment: Last of seven over 1m½f at Presque Isle Downs (claimer) three weeks ago; could be at the extent of his ability and been out of sorts of late; tag has been dropped to $4k; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and is passed over.

Obiwan

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 43-2

Comment: Producing consistent form and winner of nine starts (range of trips from 5½f to 1m); gave good account to finish runner-up (sloppy track) when dropped in distance three weeks ago in a claimer; recent effort was creditable so one to be interested in.

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Jeff Zook Age/Wt: 10/8-8 F: 25-44

Comment: Has scored over C&D; recent efforts have generally been solid; comfortably beaten finishing fourth 28 days ago upped to this distance in a starter allowance; this is competitive and may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Bahama Channel

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 5-67477

Comment: Held when seventh of ten over 7f here (claimer) four weeks ago; not really built on success in a claimer in September at Mountaineer Park; only ride on the card for Luis Batista; can only watch as now looks to be past his prime.

Krug

Jockey: Luis Tapara Trainer: Jose Lopez Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 66311

Comment: Attempts to land a hat-trick; won in easy fashion 21 days ago when accounting for two of these (sloppy track) in a claimer; in for a $4k tag so down in class ($6.5k last time); despite that Mountaineer Park success, not hard to turn elsewhere.

Rogue Element

Jockey: Bailey Weatherly Trainer: W Jenkins Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 376555

Comment: Finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (8l) in a claimer 14 days ago on debut for this trainer; may not have any more improvement left and not really built on success in a claimer in November at Horseshoe Indianapolis; now looks to be past his prime and looks risky.

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Wilson Langley Age/Wt: 10/8-8 F: 214-22

Bourbon And Ice

Jockey: Marshall Mendez Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 9/8-8 F: 317371

Comment: On target twice in his last five outings; one-time useful operator; gained narrow success in a claimer 13 days ago; stable going well a plus; has to be considered.

Ferrari Kid

Jockey: Joe Stokes Trainer: Gerald Brooks Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 6189

Comment: Unable to land a blow when ninth of ten in a claimer 18 days ago at Presque Isle Downs upped to 1m½f; he meets the required standard ability wise; has chalked up two wins from his last five; now down in class (in for $4k from $8.5k).

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 4427

Comment: Beaten a fair way when seventh over 1m½f at Presque Isle Downs (claimer) behind Veloce, two weeks ago; grade looks suitable but a while since his last success; claiming tag drops to $4k (from $5k).

Jockey: Charle Oliveros Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 53-34

Comment: Has been fairly consistent of late; this is his level; couldn't land a blow when fourth of eight just ahead of Akamai (Presque Isle Downs) two weeks ago upped to 1m½f in a claimer; now eased in the grades (in for $4k).

Jockey: Michael Pagan Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 3/7-8 F: 3512

Comment: Finished a decent runner-up of nine over 5f here (claimer, had Grand Golden Road and White Heat behind) 27 days ago; must be respected as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months and she can handle the step up in class.

On Time Tam

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 472032

Comment: Beaten narrowly ahead of Prettyrunner when runner-up on her debut for new trainer four weeks ago in a maiden special weight; yet to get her head in front after 11 starts but has displayed improved form on last two starts; can have a big say as this doesn't look like the strongest maiden claimer and there was plenty to like about her latest performance.

Jockey: Maikol Vilchez Trainer: Robert Scallan Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 5-43255

Comment: Defeats piling up (0-9); split Invidia Del Coco (third) and Highway Robbery (sixth) over 5½f here (maiden claimer) 19 days ago when beaten 9l (fifth of nine) on debut for this trainer; warrants respect as this doesn't look the strongest of heats and she ran well three runs back.

Comment: Still without a win after ten starts but has arguably shown improved form the last twice; beaten 21l in sixth in a maiden special weight a week ago upped to 1m; she should go close despite defeat last time as was third two runs back and this looks a good opportunity for her to get off the mark.

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Scott Sweazey Age/Wt: 10/8-11 F: 2037-

Comment: Last of seven dropped back in distance at Presque Isle Downs 12 days ago in a claimer; struggled a bit since winning a claimer at Mountaineer Park in October; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $4k); he looks up against it.

In Honor Of Autism

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 1641-5

Comment: Held when fifth of nine three weeks ago behind Cash Customer, (sloppy track) in a claimer; yet to taste defeat over this C&D, winning on all two attempts; successful seven times from 22 career runs; recent reappearance at Mountaineer Park should have blown away any cobwebs so looks a likely player.

Comment: Won a claimer by 3½l at Charles Town three weeks ago; wins-runs record of 3-11; stable going well a plus; strong claims as the lower claiming tag shouldn't put you off given his effort last time and jockey does well from inner gates here.
