Verdict: MY GREY HUMOR is hard to look beyond. She should be forgiven a disappointing latest run. Wicklow Pooka and Champagne Mischief could run well too.

My Grey Humor

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Cathal Lynch Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 72-3

Comment: Found life tough when 9l back in third in a maiden claimer at Delaware Park last month; some promise; closest she has come to winning after three starts was a second; more on her plate but must be in the mix.

Comment: Finished last of six over 1m½f at Parx (maiden claimer) 37 days ago; four-race maiden though does have a third place to her name; one to consider.

Jockey: Inoel Beato Trainer: Charles DeMario Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 84649

Collegeville Queen

Jockey: Silvestre Gonzalez Trainer: Kathleen DeMasi Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Trainer gets plenty of debutant winners; Cairo Prince gets winners on the turf; related to Private Network, winning form over 6f-1m½f; stable been sending out winners lately.

Wicklow Pooka

Jockey: David Cora Trainer: Flint Stites Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 28-75

Comment: Could not land a telling blow when fifth despite odds of evens over 6f here (maiden claimer) in March; sire does get winners on the turf; returns from a layoff; should be thereabouts as shown some ability on occasion and she can handle the step up in class.

City Broad

Jockey: Luis Ocasio Trainer: Cesareo Marquez Age/Wt: 4/8-13

Comment: Makes first racecourse appearance; Hoppertunity gets winners on the turf; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise with newcomers from this stable often needing the run.

Quiet City

Jockey: Jomar Torres Trainer: Erin McClellan Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Shares a dam with Midtown, a 1m½f winner; from respected stable; others look more obvious on paper; she could be one for another day.

Ms. Laobanniang

Jockey: Yabriel Ramos Trainer: Bruce Kravets Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: -342

Comment: Went down by 1l when runner-up in a maiden claimer last month on debut for this trainer; more on her plate this time but ought to be of interest.

Sunday Gilt

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Timothy Kreiser Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 14414

Comment: On target twice in his last five outings; represents a powerful stable; fair effort when beaten just over 2l at Belmont At The Big A last month in a claimer; can make a decent bid as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag.

Comment: Produced an encouraging effort (runner-up of 12, beaten 2l) three months ago at Oaklawn Park in a starter allowance claiming; higher claiming tag here so up in class; competitive shout with lower class a definite positive and lots of promise in his latest performance.

Tactical Humor

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 123463

Yes It's Roo

Jockey: Vladimir Diaz Trainer: Jr Earl Davis, Age/Wt: 9/8-9 F: 57285

Comment: Safely held here last month behind Float On when fifth of seven in an allowance claiming; specialist here with three wins but good and bad recent runs found on his CV; claiming tag rises from $7.5k last time; facing a testing assignment and unlikely to make any impact.

Comment: Has achieved 11 wins from 54 career runs; accounted for Tactical Humor and Yes It's Roo when winning with a bit in hand last month in an allowance claiming; claiming value now rises to $10k; despite that Penn National success, easy enough to take on.

Comment: Has got his head in front twice this year and has been consistent of late; produced an encouraging effort (runner-up of six, beaten 3½l, sloppy track) at Parx 31 days ago in an optional claimer; looks likely to go well as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively.
