Verdict: GOLDEN COOKIE gets the vote. He should be able to confirm placings with Buzz Adams and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick.

Harbour Bridge

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Krista Hetrick Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 3-2212

Comment: Has raised his game the last twice; went close when second in a claimer two weeks ago; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with.

Au Some Warrior

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Scott Lake Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 5-7213

Comment: Has raised his game the last twice; produced a good effort to finish third in a claimer (sloppy track) at Parx two months ago; should get involved.

Preach It Warrior

Jockey: Jomar Torres Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 6416-

Comment: Last of six in a claimer (sloppy track) in December; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; has won here; trainer is ticking along nicely; returns from a break today; others appeal more.

Buzz Adams

Comment: Last of seven in an optional claimer behind Golden Cookie, 23 days ago; lightly raced with this just his fifth appearance; makes limited appeal.

Comment: Not beaten too far (4½l) in an optional claimer with Buzz Adams just behind on debut for this handler last month; not had much racing - fifth outing here; every chance if finding his best form.

Verdict: Firm preference is for CARGO SHIP. He may be capable of extending his winning run further and has been a winner over this C&D. Magnificent Ride is another to consider.

Cargo Ship

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 9/8-12 F: 151-1

Comment: Bidding for a hat-trick and better than this level in his prime; gained a just over 2l success over 5½f here (claimer) last month on debut for this trainer; yard going well a plus; a major contender as possible he'll have come on from most recent start.

Kbcya Later

Jockey: Ricardo Chiappe Trainer: Cody Beattie Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 1-3432

Comment: Beaten three-quarters of a length in a claimer 13 days ago (had two of these rivals behind); a winner over C&D; has maintained his consistent level of form; likely player.

My Blue Eyes

Jockey: Yabriel Ramos Trainer: J Martinez Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 34214

Comment: Posted respectable effort when beaten 4l in a claimer 13 days ago; C&D winner although not added to that in previous nine tries; this looks a decent race so may be vulnerable.

Eddiemush

Jockey: Jorge Sanchez Gonzalez Trainer: Miguel Penaloza Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 7218

Comment: All his winning form has come at Parx (four successes); finished last of eight over 7f at Parx (claimer) four weeks ago; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $4k); hard enough to fancy.

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Erin McClellan Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 8-1783

Comment: A winner over C&D; one-time useful operator; split Kbcya Later and My Blue Eyes when third 13 days ago posting a respectable effort in a claimer; has to be taken seriously as shown he can get his head in front.

Verdict: Firm preference is for UNSWAYED. He likes to stalk the early speed and has proved he can get his head in front. Third Watch and Strasse should also be on the premises.

Third Watch

Jockey: Jordano Tunon Trainer: Jennifer Shannon Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 9-18368

Comment: Came home eighth, beaten 21l, (Laurel Park) three weeks ago in a claimer; he can be competitive at this level; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $5k); can give it a good shot if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and return to this trip is in his favour.

Purecrazigroove

Jockey: David Cora Trainer: Konstantin Harigeorgiou Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 6-85132

Comment: Not beaten far in a claimer when finished in front of four of these 14 days ago; has won over C&D; normally pretty consistent; should figure as his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

Strasse

Jockey: Yabriel Ramos Trainer: Bruce Kravets Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 6-9514

Comment: C&D has proven suitable before; he meets the required standard ability wise; respectable effort (beaten 4½l) two weeks ago when separating a number of reopposing rivals in a claimer; shown he can get his head in front so should be thereabouts.

Long Tom
