Verdict: CORONA GRANDE will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast and he knows how to win. Leo And Royal and Devil Vision can't be ruled out either.

Krug

Jockey: Luis Tapara Trainer: Jose Lopez Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 21-976

Comment: Last of six four weeks ago at Mahoning Valley in a claimer; has won here previously; has been found wanting at this level before so hard enough to fancy.

Angelus Warrior

Jockey: Brandon Tapara Trainer: Marcus Kocijan Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 668-

Comment: Finished last of eight when back to 6f (sloppy track) four months ago (Penn National) in a claimer; eight-time winner within the resume (from 7f-1m1f); back from an absence here; should go close as jockey does well from inner gates here and he has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Devil Vision

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 11-36

Comment: Consistent performer and he can be competitive at this level; not disgraced when sixth in a claimer at Mahoning Valley in January; peak figure in the past year is the best in the field so should prove competitive.

Blameitonthefun

Jockey: Orlando Bocachica Trainer: Timothy Shanley Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 8-1621

Comment: Did it nicely in a claimer at Charles Town (sloppy track) 16 days ago; on target twice in his last four outings; despite that Charles Town success, not easy to fancy.

Captain Creed

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Gregory Viands Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 33-6

Comment: A winner over C&D; beaten a fair way when seventh in a claimer (Charles Town) last month; others more persuasive.

Leo And Royal

Jockey: Anthony Mawing Trainer: Kent Knudsen Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 5-722

Comment: Producing consistent form and has managed five wins from 20 career runs; went down by a head in a claimer at Mahoning Valley (muddy track) two months ago; he can make a bold bid.

Corona Grande

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Shane Spiess Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 13317

Comment: Out of the frame when seventh in a starter allowance (muddy track, Mahoning Valley) two weeks ago; successful twice in his last five starts; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; major player.
