Verdict: STRIDER'S SLIDER is expected to get the job done. He looks best placed to take advantage if the front-runners go too fast and has been a winner over this C&D, while Mccrakens Ghost and Mission First are more names to consider.

Mccrakens Ghost

Jockey: Ricardo Chiappe Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 2-4541

Comment: Subsequent race winner after rival disqualified (finished runner-up) five weeks ago at Delaware Park in an optional claimer; this looks tougher but in with a chance.

Hot Rod Kitty

Jockey: Jomar Torres Trainer: Flint Stites Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 7331

Comment: Got home in front by a head in a maiden claimer when registering his first success at the fourth time of asking four weeks ago; stepping out of a maiden claimer and this looks tougher so one to tread carefully with.

Mission First

Jockey: Frankie Pennington Trainer: John Servis Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 3-48

Comment: Finished last of eight in an allowance race (bumped at the start) at Monmouth Park on first run for his current trainer five weeks ago; last two runs were below standard set by third at Penn National three starts ago; ought to be of interest.

Comment: Three wins from eight runs over C&D, including last time when beating nine rivals (9-2); returns from an absence here; this represents a step up in class but no surprise if he has a big say.

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Erin McClellan Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 41-447

Comment: Finished last of seven in an allowance race in March upped to 1m; she meets the required standard ability wise; first run in a claimer; best of her form suggests ability; has to be taken seriously.

Jockey: Adam Bowman Trainer: Juan Polanco Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 103545

Comment: Grade looks suitable; fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing fifth of seven over 6½f at Parx (claimer) last month; in the mix as lower claiming tag should make this easier and has proved she knows how to win.

Jockey: Angel Castillo Trainer: Trevor Gallimore Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 4737

Comment: Behind Everheart last month when last of seven at Parx in a claimer; successful in two of her 16 career starts; she can be competitive at this level; moves down to an easier grade (in for $10k).

Comment: Was fourth of six, beaten 10l, over 6f here (stakes optional claiming, problems in the gate at the start) on first run for this trainer five weeks ago; from a respected stable; first-time blinkers; looks likely to be involved if duplicating the form of her most recent win and down in class to claiming company.

Comment: Possesses winning form at this track; normally pretty consistent; far from disgraced (beaten just over 1l) in an optional claimer three weeks ago at Laurel Park upped to this trip; notable jockey booking and stable is ticking along nicely; can't be ruled out as latest run was an encouraging one.

Ladro Di Fichi

Comment: C&D record of four wins from 17 starts boosted last time; performed at a higher level than this in her peak and bids for hat-trick; the Erin Mcclellan outfit is running hot currently; definitely of interest as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals and class rise seems surmountable given the form she's in.

Ridley Park

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 536-3

Comment: Creditable third when close behind Private Cabana five weeks ago in a claimer; yard going well a plus; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then should have every chance.
