Verdict

ARCANEARS (NAP) has won four times here and from much higher marks. He's gradually dropping enough to get back on the winning trail and has the very experienced Sam Ewing on board. Harbanaker is up 4lb for last month's victory where he had a 7lb claimer on board so this is much tougher as it is for Feature This, who had a similar claim to his advantage a month ago and is up 5lb. Joey Sheridan was claiming 3lb when Stardayz beat the consistent Jered Maddox three weeks ago and his mount will be 9lb higher while Leabaland has been beaten off this mark and lower in his last five starts.
