        Verdict

        A handful of recent course winners to consider. Ivy Port beat Amtired over track and trip last week and Emperatriz beat the same horse here last month. They're closely matched on collateral form, while both Repetition and Peter's Friend are others to consider having won their latest starts over course and distance. Silly Billy landed a claimer at this track earlier in the month, but ROGER THORPE gets the tentative vote given he's the least exposed and easily won a maiden race over track and trip on his latest outing.
