Verdict: CORNUCOPIAN can prove superior to his rivals. He looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast. Garamond and Keewaydin are interesting.

Ican

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Jr Richard Dutrow, Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 12-324

Comment: Solid run when fourth over 6f here (stakes) last month; has been fairly consistent this year; dropping in class but passed over.

Toga D'oro

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: Jr Richard Dutrow, Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 715

Comment: Fifth of six beaten 10l (muddy track) three weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; needs to leave most recent form behind him in new headgear and looks opposable.

Keewaydin

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 315-

Comment: Came up short here when fifth of six in a Grade 2 upped to 1m1f in December; looks the part on breeding (by Instagrand) and from top stable; returns from an absence here; Dylan Davis a good booking; hard to ignore if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and was a winner two starts ago.

Sand Devil

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 1-1126

Comment: Well beaten in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial 22 days ago; has won three of his five career runs and a stakes winner in February at this track; dropped in grade to claiming level so is of interest.

National Law

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: Jorge Duarte Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 451-

Comment: Related to Grade 3 winner Family Way; gained a first success at the third time of asking when winning by 1½l five months ago (Parx) in a maiden special weight; returns from a layoff; first run in a claimer; readily passed over despite that win last time.

Garamond

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 13

Comment: Split Sand Devil (second) and My Mitole (fourth) when beaten 5l to finish third in the Gotham Stakes two months ago; hails from a good stable and this son of Uncle Mo looks the part on breeding; easy to see him making an impression as pleasing in workout last Friday and drop into claiming grade should help.

My Mitole

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Carlos Martin Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 1-140

Comment: Out of the money and beaten 32l in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial (behind Sand Devil) 22 days ago; successful twice in his last four starts; easy to oppose despite dropping in class.

Cornucopian

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Bob Baffert Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 14

Comment: Only finished fourth of nine despite odds of 9-10 last month (Oaklawn Park) in a Grade 1; related to Grade 1 winner Guarana and nicely bred (by Into Mischief); Bob Baffert's runners are going great guns at the moment; big run on the cards as pleasing in workout a week ago and drop into claiming grade should help.
