Caffu Zafeen has run over today's trip and going, and a rating of 61 — ranking him second in this field of 15 — marks him as a live threat under 142 lb from stall 14; the concern is that he's been winless in his last five starts.

Tawaazon has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating puts him narrowly top of this field, but he's winless in his last six starts — the second-placed effort two starts back is the main hook, and at 140 lb from stall eight he needs to reproduce that level.

Winless in his last five starts, Reinforce nonetheless brings distance and going experience to the table, and our rating of 58 ranks him third in a field of 15 — the risk is that his recent string of unplaced efforts makes the improvement needed look significant.

Winless in her last five starts but has shown enough ability to finish second last time out and third two starts back; she has run over today's trip and going before, and at 135 lb from stall 3, a repeat of her recent placed efforts would make her competitive.

Consistent sort in the mix, Hot To Foxtrot has finished third twice in her last five starts and has run over today's trip and going before — the main concern is she remains winless in recent starts, and 135 lb from stall 12 may test her.
