The 10-year-old gelding Royal F J (6) is 4-1 on the morning-line to win Thursday's eighth race for $6,250 claimers, his 102nd career start.

Trained by Jack Carava for a partnership, Royal F J was a clear second in an $8,000 claimer at six furlongs on Sept. 29, his first start in two months. In that race, Royal F J dueled for the lead from an inside post and faded in the final furlong.

For this race, Royal F J has a better draw in post 6 in a field of 10. Martin Pedroza, his regular rider, has the mount.
