Verdict: TOMORROWNEVERCOMES is the recommendation. He makes appeal on the strength of his most recent run, while Squeezethesharman and Big Shot Vegas are also shortlisted.

Big Shot Vegas

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 5

Comment: Was fifth of seven on his debut over 1m½f at Parx (in blinkers) at 85-40 in February; in for a $4k tag so down in class ($15k last time); is a player.

Squeezethesharman

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Julie Mathes Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 53385-

Comment: Without a win after 14 runs; beaten 10l in fifth five months ago in a maiden claimer; returning from a layoff here; he has a shout as finished third at Mountaineer Park six months ago.

Tomorrownevercomes

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 4-52263

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; ran encouragingly when just under 4l third in a maiden claimer on Monday on debut for this trainer; recent effort was creditable so no surprise if he has a big say.

Jockey: Renzo Diaz Trainer: Rebecca Holton Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 54/-

Comment: Could not manage better than fourth at Belterra Park in 2023 upped to 1m in a maiden claimer; still searching for his first win after 12 attempts; tag has been dropped to $4k; long absence to overcome; easy to oppose.

Big Bank

Jockey: Yuri Yaranga Trainer: Cameron Trierweiler Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 4-5538

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing eighth upped to 7f last month at Charles Town in a maiden claimer; drops to a $4k tag from $12.5k; need to draw a line through his last run, but was third two starts back; capable of going well.

Comment: Few miles on the clock with this his third race; tailed off in a maiden claimer (Gulfstream Park) in February upped to 1m½f; the class drop is a red flag so has questions to answer.

Angelus Warrior

Jockey: Brandon Tapara Trainer: Marcus Kocijan Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 668-

Comment: Finished last of eight when back to 6f (sloppy track) four months ago (Penn National) in a claimer; eight-time winner within the resume (from 7f-1m1f); back from an absence here; should go close as jockey does well from inner gates here and he has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Comment: A multiple C&D winner; solid run when fourth over 6f at Mahoning Valley (starter allowance, muddy track) 16 days ago; the stable has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; ought to give it a shot as her peak speed figure over the past year puts her clear.

Party Of No

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Robert Inman Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 910-98

Comment: Has won previously at this course; finished last of eight at Mahoning Valley (sloppy track) in February in a claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $4k here; he looks up against it as shown nothing recently.

He's On Fire

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Justin Wade Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 56-56

Comment: Beaten just under 5l five weeks ago when sent off 12-1 (Charles Town) in a claimer; useful in this grade; capable of going well as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and he's no stranger to the winners' enclosure.

Al Loves Josie

Jockey: Marshall Mendez Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 1-3365

Comment: Failed to land a blow when fifth of six three weeks ago at Charles Town in an optional claimer; admirable career strike-rate (nine from 33 to date) and excellent in his prime; he's a serious player as didn't get much luck in running when last seen.
