Comment: Successful twice in his last four starts; a C&D winner; split Mr. Penny Pincher and Oklahoma Joe when fourth last month in an allowance race; has always come up a bit short at this level in the past so others more likely.

Comment: Was behind two of these rivals five months ago when ninth at Mahoning Valley in an allowance race (sloppy track) on debut for this trainer; wins-runs record of 5-21; returns from a break today; others appeal more as has not been seen doing much trackwork recently.

Bolt's Treasure

Jockey: Luis Gonzalez Trainer: Kim Puhl Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 844224

2/1

Comment: Normally pretty consistent and has displayed improved form on last two starts; not far behind It's Last Call, the runner-up, and Z Boss, the third, over 1m here (maiden special weight) six weeks ago; strong claims.

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten just over 1l) six weeks ago when splitting two of these in a maiden special weight; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; warrants respect if reproducing most recent effort.

14/1

Comment: Improved form the last twice; finished in front of Z Boss and Bolt's Treasure 42 days ago when going close (sent off 14-1) in a maiden special weight; record demonstrates how he often finds at least one too good so only limited appeal.

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 7l in third) in a maiden claimer three weeks ago; not had much racing - fifth outing here; this demands more than last time so there are better alternatives here.
