Verdict: ROYAL SUSPECT is hard to look beyond. He knows how to get his nose in front and has won over this C&D. Styner is another to consider.

Styner

Jockey: Emanuel Diego De Trainer: Jeffrey Englehart Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: -12214

Comment: Better than this level in his prime and has gained three wins over C&D; not disgraced when fourth in a claimer (Parx) 11 days ago; hard to dismiss.

Post Facto

Jockey: Kevin Navarro Trainer: Samuel Morales Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 74465

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten a fair way over 1m at Tampa Bay Downs (claimer) 49 days ago; has achieved five wins from 18 career runs and one-time useful operator; can be on the premises as has been on the scene in the recent past and was a bit unlucky last time.

Royal Suspect

Jockey: Joel Cruz Trainer: Nirka Huertas Age/Wt: 8/8-9 F: 2231-4

Comment: Has a good record over course and distance (six wins from 23 runs); creditable fourth in a stakes (dropped to 6f) last month; Joel Cruz a good booking; strong claims as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field and the step up in trip is a plus.

Jockey: Emanuel Diego De Trainer: Paul Barrow Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 41473-

Enticing Prospect

Jockey: Keiber Coa Trainer: M Ferraro Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 346-06

Comment: Last of six at Belmont At The Big A last month in a claimer; he can be competitive at this level; down in class now, dropping from a $30k tag; the stable continues to be among winners recently; needs to be taken seriously as his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear and shown he can win fairly recently.

Sox For Daughters

Jockey: Steven Fret Trainer: Jacqueline Falk Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 712-56

Jockey: Joel Cruz Trainer: Jonathan Buckley Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 32176-

Comment: Was sixth of seven, beaten 15l, in a claimer upped to 1m½f (behind Sox For Daughters) in November; returns from a layoff; this looks a decent race so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Jockey: Andre Worrie Trainer: Timothy Murphy Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 32-25

Wisecracker

Jockey: Emanuel Diego De Trainer: Lisa Reed Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 47-345

Comment: Still winless and defeats stacking up (eight on the bounce); no impression when fifth of six in a maiden claimer 15 days ago upped to 1m; a few rivals look in good form so is passed over.

High Water Mark

Jockey: Joel Cruz Trainer: M Ferraro Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 3-75572

Comment: Has displayed improved form on last two starts; close up runner-up over 1m here (maiden claimer) where he had two of these rivals behind 15 days ago; the M Ferraro outfit is running hot currently; assuming he steps up from most recent effort then strong claims.

Honor For Mandin

Jockey: Carlos Camilo Trainer: Jose Rohena Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 6-56

Comment: This now his fourth attempt to get off the mark; tried in blinkers when beaten 23l (sixth of seven) two weeks ago in a maiden special weight; first run in a claimer; this is a step down in class but hard to recommend.

Frisbee Bee

Jockey: Christian Navarro Trainer: Jonathan Buckley Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 556-
