Verdict: VULCAN looks best placed to take advantage if the front-runners go too fast. Cane Creek Road is an interesting candidate.

K C Rocket

Jockey: Rocco Bowen Trainer: William Martin Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 5-7056

Comment: Close up behind Vulcan when ninth over 6f here (starter allowance claiming, bumped at the start) 21 days ago; claiming tag drops from $12.5k; others appeal more as no longer in his pomp.

Cane Creek Road

Jockey: Joseph Bealmear Trainer: Thomas Vance Age/Wt: 7/8-3 F: 4797

Comment: Five-time winner within the resume (from 5f-1m); finished seventh but wasn't beaten too far (9l) over 6f here (claimer) when separating a number of reopposing rivals (sloppy track) three weeks ago; down in class now, dropping from a $10k tag; has shown some ability on occasion and some hopes.

Mid Day Image

Jockey: Tyler Bacon Trainer: Ingrid Mason Age/Wt: 9/8-8 F: -083

Comment: Went down by just over 3l when third (sloppy track) three weeks ago on first run for this trainer in a claimer; has managed 15 wins from 50 career runs; now down in class (in for $7.5k from $10k); has to be taken seriously as recent display was promising and his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

Macho Ronnie

Jockey: Amanda Poston Trainer: Burl McBride Age/Wt: 7/7-7 F: 407

Comment: All three wins achieved here but a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023); finished seventh, beaten 11l, in a claimer last month; can only watch as no great record on second run back following a layoff.

Tee Burns

Jockey: Walter De La Cruz Trainer: Michael Hewitt Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 87063

Comment: Has won here before; possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; fair effort (beaten just over 3l) 25 days ago at Will Rogers Downs in a claimer; up in class (in for $7.5k here, $5k tag last time).

Vulcan

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: Greg Compton Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 3547

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 9l) in a starter allowance claiming three weeks ago; has won at this course; down in class now, dropping from a $12.5k tag; has shown some ability on occasion and in with big shout.

The Queens Jules

Jockey: Abel Cedillo Trainer: Thomas Van Age/Wt: 10/8-8 F: 273-89

Comment: Successful 13 times from 73 career outings (5f-1m) but has not been firing consistently; finished ninth of 12 in a claimer (behind Vulcan) 36 days ago; claiming tag drops from $10k; not hard to turn elsewhere as best days now look to behind him.

Derby Date

Jockey: Keith Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 9/8-8 F: 4-2490

Comment: Finished tenth of 12 three weeks ago (sloppy track) in a claimer; in for a $7.5k tag so down in class ($10k last time); on the shortlist as shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

Super Brady

Jockey: Eduardo Gallardo Trainer: Ike Green Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 37700

Comment: Possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; tenth of 12 two weeks ago in a claimer; class dropper as runs for a $7.5k tag here; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and not hard to turn elsewhere.
