Verdict: WUDHOOH looks set for a big run. She will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast and can reverse last time's placings with Qualified Hire.

Seap

Jockey: Ismerio Villalobos Trainer: Suzanne Stettinius Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 66-327

Comment: Beaten a fair way when seventh at Laurel Park ten days ago in a claimer; grade looks suitable; should get involved as shown she can get her head in front.

Ecliptical Gina

Jockey: Jomar Torres Trainer: Flint Stites Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 42173

Comment: Not disgraced when third of six in a stakes optional claiming (dropped back to 6f) last month; should not be far away if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and down in class to claiming company.

Wudhooh

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Andrew Simoff Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 88-476

Comment: Grade looks suitable; finished just behind Qualified Hire when sixth in an optional claimer on debut for this trainer at Delaware Park (dropped to this distance) three weeks ago; can make her presence felt as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and shown she can win fairly recently.

Kentucky Reign

Jockey: Leonardo Corujo Trainer: Jose Bobadilla Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 43374

Comment: Finished fourth last month albeit only beaten 4l in a claimer; could be at the extent of her ability; in for a $16k tag here, up from $5k last time; could be an uphill struggle as this is competitive.

Golden Style

Jockey: Maicol Inirio Trainer: Flint Stites Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 4-16665

Comment: Largely disappointing since successful in a maiden special weight at Penn National four months ago; behind Honey Fun here over 6f (optional claimer) when beaten 7l in fifth 13 days ago; in for a $16k tag so down in class ($25k last time); easy enough to take on.

Honey Fun

Jockey: Vladimir Diaz Trainer: Lydee Shea Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 2312

Comment: Close up runner-up over 6f here (optional claimer) when ahead of Golden Style two weeks ago; track has proven suitable before; this just her fifth race; down in trip here.

Mocha Diane

Jockey: David Cora Trainer: Bernard T Houghton Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 95-6

Comment: Problems at the start (off slowly) with blinkers tried (sloppy track) on first run for this trainer last month when last of six in a claimer; form of the trainer is a plus; hard enough to fancy.

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Erin McClellan Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 4563

Comment: Beaten 2½l 19 days ago when sent off 33-1 at Delaware Park in an optional claimer; admirably consistent; more than capable if on song so ought to be of interest.

Utterly Enchanting

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: Carlos Mancilla Age/Wt: 10/8-8 F: 2P332

Comment: Had two of these rivals behind her when only just held last month at Laurel Park in a claimer; string of consistent efforts of late; she should go close if building on last performance.

Me Darlin Kathleen

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 321421

Comment: Added to C&D record of eight wins from 21 starts last month; she's worth a go as recent win points to her being able to handle class rise.

Jockey: David Cora Trainer: Jose Bobadilla Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 632661

Peace Out

Jockey: Vladimir Diaz Trainer: William Meister Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 95155

Comment: Not beaten that far in fifth (8l) three weeks ago in an optional claimer; has scored over C&D; claiming tag drops to $5k (from $12.5k); makes limited appeal.

Sultry Sally H

Jockey: Leonardo Corujo Trainer: Timothy Vick Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 6-766

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; slumped a bit since winning a starter allowance at Timonium in August; held in sixth (Charles Town, sloppy track) last month in a claimer; a lot on her plate here and may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Sheherhers

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Scott Wolfendale Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 27-55

Comment: Split Utterly Enchanting and Sultry Sally H at Laurel Park 33 days ago when beaten 10l (fifth of six) in a claimer; is a multiple winner at this distance (all wins at this trip); possibilities as shown she can be competitive fairly recently.

Warrior's Cause

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Elisha Perez Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 6662-

Comment: Near miss at evens in a claimer on debut for this handler finished just ahead of Nautical Nature in November; a C&D winner; returns from an absence here; can be on the premises as jockey does well from inside draws here and peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Barleewon

Jockey: Matilda Burnham Trainer: Konstantin Harigeorgiou Age/Wt: 8/8-1 F: 17-U

Comment: A winner over C&D; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); finished just behind Nautical Nature when eighth over 5½f here (claimer) in February; claiming tag now upped to $10k; others are preferred with absence a concern.

Jockey: Inoel Beato Trainer: Mark Ippolito Age/Wt: 10/8-8 F: 56-734

Comment: A winner over C&D; useful in his prime; ended losing spell in an allowance race on his debut for new trainer when springing a surpise to score by just over 2l (went off 12-1) last month; hard to ignore; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break.

The Bullion Bomber

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: Carlos Mancilla Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 4461

Comment: Scored by 5l over 5½f here (claimer) last month; trainer is ticking along nicely; significantly up in class but latest speed figure suggests he can mix it with these so looks a contender.
