Golden Hornet

Jockey: Jareth Loveberry Trainer: Larry Rivelli Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: /91-4

Comment: Last of four three weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; represents a powerful yard and better than this level in his prime; he's a serious player.

Twirling Roses

Jockey: Mitchell Murrill Trainer: Eduardo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 8-24123

Comment: Good course-and-distance record (five wins); producing fairly consistent form; fair effort when beaten 7l, finishing third of six in a starter allowance (Keeneland, muddy track) two weeks ago; easy to oppose as no longer in his pomp.

Eye Dee Kay

Jockey: Orlando Mojica Trainer: Tanner Tracy Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: -21218

Comment: Finished last of eight in a claiming starter allowance 21 days ago (Oaklawn Park) on debut for this trainer; smart performer at one stage and has managed 11 wins from 36 career runs; can be on the premises with drop in class a positive.

Plunder

Jockey: Constantino Roman Trainer: Max Quinonez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 54213

Comment: Signs of improvement on last two runs; a previous winner here; gave good account to finish third two weeks ago in an allowance race; the stable is going well.

Wildwood Sicilian

Jockey: Alexander Bendezu Trainer: Scott Becker Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 31224-

Comment: Beaten 11l when fourth of six in October in a stakes; useful in this grade and from powerful trainer; layoff to overcome; should figure as shown he can get his head in front and down in class to claiming company.

Gavel

Jockey: Alexis Centeno Trainer: Larry Rivelli Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: -361

Comment: Won by 3½l in a claimer three weeks ago; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-12 and represents a powerful yard; Alexis Centeno a noteworthy booking; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so poses a threat.
