Double Burn

5/4

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4l) in a maiden claimer on debut for new trainer five weeks ago; lightly raced with this just his fourth appearance; in for a $6.3k tag so down in class ($20k last time); needs considering.

Verdict: COMISKEY PARK boasts a good career strike-rate and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed. Channel Won looks best of the rest.

4/6

Comment: Last of six at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing last week in an allowance optional claimer; has achieved eight wins from 39 career runs; stable is ticking along nicely; assuming he steps up from most recent effort then holds leading claims.

Comment: Finished last of nine over 5½f here (optional claimer) behind two of these on first run for his current trainer five weeks ago; has won here; he meets the required standard ability wise; claiming value now rises to $12.5k; must go on the shortlist as jockey does well from inside draws here and has proved he knows how to win.

Comment: Came home fifth, beaten 7l, here over 5½f (claimer) last month; 16-time winner in his career (from 5f-1m) and he meets the required standard ability wise; should go well as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals and he's no stranger to the winners' enclosure.

Comment: Just the one win to her name but can be a player at this level; not beaten that far in fifth (6l) at Horseshoe Indianapolis last month in a claimer; she shouldn't be far away as didn't get the rub of the green last time and peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.
