Verdict: LUCKY'S SNIPER gets the vote. He is expected to take a marked step forward from his debut and will benefit from having had a run, while Dominate and Gran Senor Del Oro also merit consideration.

Gran Senor Del Oro

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Scott Tubbs Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 963

Comment: Not disgraced when third of six last month (Turf Paradise) in a maiden claimer; lower claiming tag suggests he may have less on his plate here so likely to be involved.

Cap It Daddy

Jockey: Francisco Duran Trainer: Jamey Thomas Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Jamey Thomas can ready one to strike at the first time of asking; needs considering with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire is a speed influence.

Kiko Boy

Jockey: Francisco Monroy Trainer: Jose Puentes Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 7

Comment: Finished just behind Lucky's Sniper two months ago when seventh in Santa Anita maiden claimer over 5½f; $10k claiming tag this time (up from $8k); shown nothing in trackwork so far and will need to show more than he did on debut to be competitive.

Csikom

Jockey: Julien Couton Trainer: Debbie Peery Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Sire has produced plenty of sprint winners; related to Arthur Spooner, winning form over 6f-1m; this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals so best watched unless the market says otherwise.

William Porter

Jockey: Kevin Orozco Trainer: Vince Gibson Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 7-

Comment: Beaten 20l when last on his debut in first-time blinkers over C&D at 18-1 in July; layoff to overcome; first run in a claimer; must make above-average progress to figure despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Lucky's Sniper

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Isidro Tamayo Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 4

Comment: Not disgraced on his debut (Santa Anita, 5½f) at 9-2 two months ago; higher claiming tag here so up in class; strong claims if finding progression from his early experience.

Dominate

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Charles Essex Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Can be on the premises with signs of encouragement in profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.
