Verdict: SCHNITTKER is fancied to reverse the placings with Speight The Snow from their last meeting and should be suited by the abundance of pace up front. Golden Cookie is also respected.

Outsider

Jockey: Gaddiel Martinez Trainer: Randall Russell Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 13-5

Comment: Has winning C&D form to his name; far from disgraced (beaten just under 2l) in a claimer last month, behind two of these; tag unaltered from last time ($25k).

Sharon's Prince

Jockey: Israel Rodriguez Trainer: S Kintz Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 74-322

Comment: Has shown some recent improvement; close up second when ahead of Drunkle and Outsider last month in a claimer; makes limited appeal as looks more likely to place than win.

Speight The Snow

Jockey: Ronald Allen Jr Trainer: Ron Potts Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 3-382

Comment: 7l runner-up when ahead of a couple of these (dropped back to this trip) 22 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; has won here; moves down to an easier grade (in for $25k); the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; he shouldn't be far away.

Drunkle

Jockey: Pablo Morales Trainer: Leland Hayes Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 615-4

Comment: Split Sharon's Prince (runner-up) and Outsider (fifth) four weeks ago in a claimer; has scored over C&D; passed over with a few rivals in good form.

Just Relax

Jockey: Willie Martinez Trainer: Juan Arriagada Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 44915

Comment: Not far behind two of these rivals in an allowance optional claimer on first run for this trainer when beaten 9l (fifth of six) 22 days ago; has shown some recent improvement; has to be respected if excused most recent run as achieved maiden claimer success two runs back and has proved he knows how to win.

Schnittker

Jockey: Walber Alencar Trainer: John Guciardo Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 22-33

Comment: Split Speight The Snow (second) and Just Relax (fifth) in an allowance optional claimer on first outing for new trainer when beaten 7l (third of six) three weeks ago; tag drops from $35k to $25k here; knows how to win so in with big shout.

Verdict: TARSUS WARRIOR is a C&D winner and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick. Fleur Delacour and John Dutton can give the selection something to think about.

Hold My Beer Bro

Jockey: Gaddiel Martinez Trainer: Leland Hayes Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 5-744

Comment: Could not manage better than fourth on his first start for this trainer when dropped down to this distance 16 days ago in a claimer; has won three times over C&D but subpar since successful in an allowance race at Presque Isle Downs in August; step up to allowance company will make life tougher so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Hector

Jockey: Huber Villa Gomez Trainer: Ron Potts Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 1-255

Kotylos

Jockey: Brooke Bays Trainer: Randall Russell Age/Wt: 5/8-4 F: 67-66

Comment: Posted respectable effort when beaten just over 2l last month on first outing for new trainer in an allowance optional claimer; a prolific winner over this C&D but not really built on success in an allowance race in September at Presque Isle Downs; now a lower claiming tag ($25k from $40k) so down in class.

Sadie War Lady

Comment: Finished last of six in a maiden claimer (Finger Lakes) three weeks ago; yet to finish better than fifth in her five races; up in class (in for $15k here, $11k tag last time); shown nothing recently so not hard to look elsewhere.

Candy Jane

Jockey: Joe Stokes Trainer: Timothy Hamm Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Sire can inject some quality; stable gets plenty of debutant winners; faces a demanding debut and a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Itza Kitty

Comment: Finished out the back over 1m½f at Belmont At The Big A (maiden claimer) when leading early from a wide draw five weeks ago; tag drops from $50k to $15k here; capable of making an impact.
