Verdict: Firm preference is for SOUPER SUCCESS. He will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast and he knows how to win. Mr. Marshall looks best of the rest.

Souper Success

Jockey: Sahin Civaci Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 9/8-10 F: P-1655

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts and classy performer in his prime; fair effort at Gulfstream Park three weeks ago in a claimer; a big player.

Mr. Marshall

Confusing

Jockey: Sofia Vives Trainer: Devon Gittens Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 38108-

Comment: Out of the frame when eighth over 1m½f here (optional claimer) on first outing for new trainer five months ago; has chalked up two wins from his last six; passed over as tends to need the run.

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: Barrington Siddo Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 1146-

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from his last four; was held in sixth on first run for this trainer upped to 7f, managing to get across to lead from stall seven five months ago in an optional claimer; record when fresh is not entirely persuasive and others make more appeal.

Comment: Has shown some recent improvement; shed maiden status at the sixth time of asking when winning by half a length (Gulfstream Park) two months ago in a maiden claimer on debut for this trainer; more on his plate this time but could be thereabouts.

Jockey: Eswan Flores Trainer: John Coryat Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 6231-

Junior Hot Shot

Jockey: Eswan Flores Trainer: John Ross Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 122-

Comment: Went down by a short head in an allowance optional claimer back down to 7f four months ago; has achieved four wins from ten career runs and has maintained his consistent level of form; returns from a layoff; clear chance as plenty to like about workout last Saturday.

Jockey: Sahin Civaci Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 1-66
