Comment: Related to Canola World (winner from 5½f up to 7f); regular trackwork dispels any fitness concerns; trainer's record a potential plus; market should guide as to this one's prospects of scoring first time out.

Comment: Finished ninth of 12 (Churchill Downs) in May in an allowance optional claimer; can be in the thick of things despite defeat last time as ran well at Turfway Park three runs back.

Really Good

Jockey: Pietro Moran Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 5/8-4 F: 79-58

11/2

Comment: Finished last of eight over 1m2f at Turfway Park (allowance optional claimer) five months ago; a winner three times from 20 runs (1m½f-1m3f) and one-time useful operator; returns from a layoff; he's worth a go based on the pick of his form.

Comment: Better than this level in his prime and string of consistent efforts of late; went close when second over 1m½f here (claimer) behind One More Brew last month; latest effort was encouraging so has a decent shout.

9/1

Comment: Performed at a higher level than this in his peak and normally pretty consistent; third, beaten a short head by One More Brew three weeks ago in a claimer; knows how to win so should be thereabouts.

25/1

Comment: Has won three times here; close up behind Exude when sixth last month in an allowance optional claimer; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role given many of his rivals are in good form.

Comment: Beaten 15l into seventh over 6½f at Fort Erie (optional claimer) last month; this looks a fair heat so looks an unlikely winner.

50/1

Comment: Not beaten that far in seventh (5l) in a claimer two weeks ago; not really built on success in a maiden optional claimer last August at Woodbine; a big ask with this looking like a hot contest.

Exude

Jockey: David Moran Trainer: Barbara Minshall Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 57-94

Comment: Finished fifth but subsequently promoted to fourth last month in an allowance optional claimer; just the one win to his name; this looks a fair heat so makes little appeal.
