EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

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-

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.

Aly Stone

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.

Nicole's Style

Jockey: Kyle Gilbert Trainer: Julia Gilbert Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 7

Comment: Comfortably beaten first time out (Charles Town, 6½f) at 33-1 two months ago; first attempt at a claimer; could improve although needs to despite this looking a little easier than last time.

R Chello

Jockey: Orlando Bocachica Trainer: Timothy Shanley Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 2-466

Comment: Without a win after 12 runs; unable to land a blow in sixth three weeks ago at Charles Town in a maiden claimer; competitive shout as lower claiming tag should make this easier and has been on the scene in the recent past.

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.

Kavak

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Juan Gotera Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 59

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.
