Verdict: LUV TO WIN could cash in if the leaders go too fast and has a healthy career record. Super Brady, Grapnel and Straight Luck must be on the shortlist.

Brahms Boy

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Steve Roubion Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 716-96

Comment: Beaten 8l in an optional claimer at Sam Houston in February; returning from a layoff here; tag has been dropped to $8k; easy to oppose.

Grapnel

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Ronnie Cravens Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 154141

Comment: Boasts winning form over C&D; has chalked up three wins from his last six; not fancied in the betting (18-1) when edging home by just over 1l in a claimer last month; can't be ruled out.

Super Brady

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Ike Green Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 03341

Comment: Gained a 3l success over 5½f here (claimer) four weeks ago; must be high on list as his jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D and class rise seems surmountable given the form he's in.

Pomeroy Haze

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Ronnie Cravens Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 45675

Comment: Respectable effort in defeat (beaten just over 4l) when behind the reopposing Grapnel in a claimer two weeks ago; has won at this track; has struggled to factor since winning a claimer at Delta Downs in December; now eased in the grades (in for $8k); now looks to be past his prime and passed over.

Cajun Warrior

Jockey: Simon Camacho Benitez Trainer: Stephanie Herreros Age/Wt: 5/8-5 F: 61472-

Comment: Wasn't disgraced when second of seven over 5½f here (claimer) 12 months ago; a winner over C&D; has chalked up two wins from his last four; up in class (in for $8k here, $7.5k tag last time); not seen for some time now; new headgear needs to have a positive effect and may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Luv To Win

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 56112

Comment: Close up runner-up a week ago (muddy track) in an optional claimer; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 9-27) and represents a powerful yard; strong claims as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Blingo

Jockey: Amin Castillo Trainer: Alfredo Triana Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 332808

Comment: Form has been a bit up and down of late; not disgraced when eighth over 5½f here (claimer) last Thursday; deeper waters here (in for $8k here, $5k tag last time); this is competitive and one to tread carefully with.

Straight Luck

Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: Danny Pish Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 254-06

Comment: A course winner; finished last of six in a claimer at Sam Houston in March on debut for this trainer; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $8k); has shown some ability on occasion and could be interesting.

Cajun Ninja

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Miguel Silva Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 44-274

Comment: Solid effort in an allowance optional claimer in May; C&D has proven suitable before; calmer waters here (in for $20k, $30k tag last time); recent display was promising so has to be taken seriously.

Staci's Red Dress

Jockey: Miguel Perez Trainer: Greg Green Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 6738

Comment: Could not manage better than eighth over 7½f here (allowance optional claimer) two weeks ago; has won here previously; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and one to tread carefully with.

Golly Holly

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 531161

Archimedes

Jockey: Richard Eramia Trainer: Jayde Gelner Age/Wt: 2/8-8 F: 5

Hoser Satrapa

Comment: Some promise; closest he has come to winning after four starts was a third; could not manage better than fourth in a maiden claimer despite first-time blinkers on first run for this trainer 15 days ago; claiming value now drops to $10k; makes limited appeal.

Comment: Fair effort in a maiden claimer splitting Stasis, Time To Collect and I Got The Moves 28 days ago; yet to win after nine starts; class riser as runs for a $10k tag here; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so warrants consideration.

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Jaime Castellanos Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 75372

Comment: Displayed a fair level of form when 7l second over 5½f here (maiden claimer) last month; stepped up on his last two starts; up in class (in for $12.5k); others appeal more as could be a bit flattered by latest effort.

Stasis

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: Jaime Castellanos Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 237/3

Comment: Remains lightly raced; had three of these behind four weeks ago when beaten 4l into third at 16-1 in a maiden claimer; in for a $10k tag here, up from $7.5k last time; likely to be involved if building on last performance.

Time To Collect

Jockey: Richard Eramia Trainer: Danny Pish Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 734374

Comment: Form is hit and miss and yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at nine; split a number of these rivals last month when dropped down to this distance in a maiden claimer; in for a $10k tag so up in class ($7.5k last time); facing a testing assignment and only limited appeal.

Perp Walk

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4/47-5

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten 9l, in May at Oaklawn Park in a maiden claimer; yet to finish better than fourth in his five races but far from exposed; one to take seriously as lower claiming tag should make this easier and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Shidoni

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Austin Gustafson Age/Wt: 2/8-8 F: 8

Comment: Could not finish better than eighth on her debut (at Lone Star Park over 5f) at 6-1 last month; Gormley gets winners on the turf; related to Stakes winner Hezakoolkat; has to be considered given she should have learnt plenty from that experience and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Lewis Bere

Jockey: Miguel Perez Trainer: Greg Green Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 11568

Comment: Has got his head in front multiple times this year and wins-runs record of 4-13; behind Special Moment and Summer Splash (third and fourth) here last month when finishing last of eight in a claimer; makes limited appeal.

Verdict: NEOM BEACH is the recommendation. She can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front and has won over this C&D.

Talkin Cadee

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Scott Young Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 444125

Comment: Not beaten too far when fifth here in a stakes 15 days ago; is a multiple winner this year; has won here; probably unlikely to trouble the principals despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Flame Mcgoon

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Robertino Diodoro Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 112124

Comment: Behind Neom Beach when finishing fourth last month in a stakes; she was in the money in a stakes 48 days ago; one to consider with a bit more luck as excuses last time and dropping in class.

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Todd Fincher Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 1-131

Comment: Came out on top by 1l last month in an allowance optional claimer; has chalked up three wins from her last four; should not be far away as her peak speed figure over the past year puts her clear.

Comment: She accounted for three of these rivals when winning by a head last month in a stakes; yet to taste defeat at this track, winning on all two visits; winning form over C&D; dropping in class now and has to be taken seriously.

Flashy Lass

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 1-7770

Comment: Record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-18) but largely disappointing since successful in a stakes at Remington Park in December; behind Neom Beach here in a stakes when beaten 9l last month; makes limited appeal despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Sky Rocker

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 23351

Comment: Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; on target three times in her last seven outings; wide-margin winner over 7½f here (stakes) with Blood Orange (fifth) and Imaluckycharm (eighth) behind five weeks ago; might have a say now dropping in class.

Jockey: Obed Sanchez Trainer: Carlos Padilla Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 76-221

Curly's One Thing

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: -02533

Comment: Normally pretty consistent and has arguably shown improved form the last twice; split Obvious Conclusion and Grind Jim when third 21 days ago in a maiden special weight; he's a serious player if backing up last run.

Comment: Went down by just over 1l when third in a maiden special weight splitting Tiger Man Mckool, Flying Tex and He's Charming three weeks ago; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs and has been consistent of late; looks likely to go well as jockey does well from inner gates here and his latest effort was promising.

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Federico Villafranco Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 0347

Hank Ridge

Jockey: Daniel Benavides Trainer: Ronald Kotara Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 0470

Comment: Attempting to get off the mark at the eighth time of asking (fourth his best finish so far) and will need to improve upon some moderate recent runs; beaten a long way in a maiden special weight when behind seven of these rivals upped to 1m½f last month; not an obvious one as running in what looks to be a hot race.

Runners: 13 Distance: 1m 0f 0y

Race Predictor

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: Firm preference is for HEATS HERO. He has been a winner at this track and a good pace up front will help him, while King Arthur Ridge and Stirring Up Dust could run well too.

Binary Code

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: H Ashford Jr Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 53917

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 8l) in an allowance race last month; one to consider as shown he can win fairly recently and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Painted Lad

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: James Coats Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 444423

Comment: Producing fairly consistent form; sole victory becoming a distant memory; out of the frame (beaten 6l in third) in an allowance race last Friday (muddy track) on debut for this trainer; tries turf for the first time; others more appealing stepping into the unknown over new trip.

Heats Hero

Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: Danny Pish Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 253321

Comment: Has kicked on in his last couple of races; scored by a slim margin in a maiden special weight, breaking his duck at the ninth time of asking 22 days ago; needs to be taken seriously.

Kause I'm Devine

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Mary Knox Age/Wt: 8/8-7 F: 326577

Comment: Unable to land a blow when seventh of ten 29 days ago in an allowance race; likely to be involved as pick of form offers some encouragement.

Texas Creed

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Ronnie Cravens Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 32234

Comment: Subpar record of 1-16; fair effort (beaten 3½l) in an allowance optional claimer last month; been struggling to get his head in front recently so others more appealing.

Sweet Tapin Moro

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Mark Whitton Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: -58746

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 11l into sixth) over 6½f here (claimer) last Friday; not won for some time now; switching to turf for the first time; hard to make a case as this looks a decent race.

King Arthur Ridge

Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: Ronald Kotara Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 447934

Comment: He can be competitive at this level; split Summer Help and Adger when fourth last month in an allowance race; one to note as has bits and pieces of decent form.

Mr Jaws

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Jerry Gourneau Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 210211

Comment: Not fancied in the betting (18-1) when a narrow winner in a claimer on his debut for new trainer five weeks ago; bids to pull off a hat-trick and record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-11); jockey booking is a positive; more on his plate this time but should not be far away.

Stirring Up Dust

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 3/8-3 F: 61-581

Comment: On target twice in her last four outings; got the job done in a claimer by half a length (muddy track) when dropped down to 6f in May; definitely of interest.

Adger

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 51425

Comment: Finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (3½l) 30 days ago in an allowance race; more than capable if on song so poses a threat.

Summer Help

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Carlos Padilla Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 347826

Comment: Finished sixth beaten 1½l dropped down to 5f last month in an allowance optional claimer; been a while since he achieved his only career win; not been able to get his head in front lately so others appeal more.

Won More Time

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Austin Gustafson Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 531335

Comment: Had two of these rivals behind him in an allowance optional claimer when finishing a close-up fifth 14 days ago; has been consistent of late; must be respected if finding his best form.

Crazy Ridge

Jockey: Daniel Benavides Trainer: Ronald Kotara Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 680

Comment: Quite a while since he tasted success but grade looks suitable; behind Won More Time and Summer Help (fifth and sixth) here in an allowance optional claimer when beaten 13l dropped back in distance last month; now tackles a longer trip.
