EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: WINE COLLECTOR should be forgiven a lacklustre latest run and could see the likely strong pace tee things up nicely for him. Fletcher and Classic Joke should also be in the hunt.

Passioned

Jockey: Weston Hamilton Trainer: Justin Nixon Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 434-6

Comment: Possesses winning form at this track; he can be competitive at this level; finished last of six over 1m½f here (allowance race) five weeks ago.

Fletcher

Jockey: Jeiron Barbosa Trainer: II James Lawrence, Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 0/182-

Comment: Went close when runner-up in July at Penn National in an allowance race; returns from a layoff; ought to give it a shot.

Addicted To You

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Horacio De Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 94707-

Comment: Doesn't win often; not far behind Missionaire when seventh in November in a claimer; returns from a break today; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and hard enough to fancy.

Bermuda Run

Jockey: Weston Hamilton Trainer: Donald Barr Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 4-123

Comment: No impression when third of four back down to 6f two months ago in an allowance race; has been fairly consistent of late; he can be taken on.

Street Rockin

Jockey: Jose Vega Trainer: Lynn Ashby Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 1458-

Comment: Has won previously at this course; eighth of nine beaten 11l at Colonial Downs over 1m½f (allowance race) in August; returns from a break here.

One Last Bid

Jockey: Forest Boyce Trainer: Phillip Capuano Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 5-016

Comment: Beaten sixth of nine in a claimer (Turfway Park) two months ago; claiming value now rises to $32k; this looks a decent race so looks risky.

Missionaire

Jockey: Yedsit Hazlewood Trainer: Hugh McMahon Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 6543-

Comment: Close up third in a claimer, finished ahead of Addicted To You in November; brings winning C&D form to the table; returning from a layoff here; definitely of interest.

Top Blood

Jockey: Jorge Ruiz Trainer: Jose Corrales Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: -56163

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing third of six in an allowance optional claimer (muddy track) 15 days ago; has chalked up two wins from his last six; now running on turf for the first time; is respected.

My Imagination

Jockey: Alexander Crispin Trainer: Alan Bedard Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 5-767

Comment: May have reached limits of his ability; failed to land a blow when seventh of nine over 1m½f here (allowance optional claimer) last week; this looks a decent race so can be taken on.

Wine Collector

Jockey: Tais Lyapustina Trainer: Rodolfo Salomon Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 4-23

Comment: Has winning form at this track; not disgraced when third (Penn National) last month in an allowance optional claimer; big run on the cards as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively.

Classic Joke

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: Richard Sillaman Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 72-34

Comment: Grade looks suitable and running consistently; respectable effort (beaten just over 3l) 29 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; hard to dismiss as recent display was promising.
