Getaway Palace

Jockey: Francisco Martinez Trainer: Ruperto Perez Age/Wt: 6/8-4 F: 8-4

Comment: Beaten 7l into fourth (Penn National, yielding) 22 days ago in a stakes; Francisco Martinez here for one ride; might find this company a little easier but looks an unlikely winner.

Obeissante

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 5155

Comment: Found life tough when 9l back in fifth last month in an allowance race; lightly raced (running for just the fifth time); has a nice pedigree (by Into Mischief); chance if in the same form she showed when winning three starts back.

Bazzarina

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Juan Avila Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 242114

Comment: Possesses winning form at this track; managed two wins in her last three outings; held in fourth over 1m½f here (allowance race); closely matched with Obeissante on that running last month; others more appealing.

Alice Fairfax

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 1660-

Comment: Tenth of 20 beaten 7l at Doncaster over 6½f (handicap) in September; one from five in Britain; returns from a layoff; has to be respected if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and she has joined a top trainer ahead of her debut on these shores.

Money's Worth

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 22824

Risuko

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: Carlos David Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 96-72

Comment: Missed out by just over 1l dropped down to this distance on first run for her current trainer 24 days ago at Churchill Downs in a maiden claimer; has shown some recent improvement; first run on dirt; one to consider if replicating most recent run and jockey does well from inside draws here.

Always Authentic

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Carlos David Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Trainer well capable of preparing youngsters to win races on limited experience; one to take seriously as some good aspects to her profile and stable is in good order.

Silent Dreamer

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Miguel Clement Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 7-

Comment: Could not finish better than seventh on her debut at Belmont At The Big A at 10-1 in September; has a nice pedigree (by Into Mischief); returns from an absence here; blinkers fitted for the first time; should be thereabouts as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred daughter of Into Mischief and horses from stable often improve for a run.

Forbidden Friend

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Victoria Oliver Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: -092

Comment: Looks the part on breeding (by Mckinzie) and related to Stakes winner Let My People Go; fair runner-up of five over 6½f at Churchill Downs (maiden special weight) five weeks ago; very interesting.

Estefania Light

Jockey: Samy Camacho Trainer: Juan Avila Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Sire has a good record with runners over this distance; first public outing; faces fairly tall order so market could reveal prospects.

Noticeable

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: There's hope from the sire that she has some ability; this daughter of Curlin looks the part on breeding; newcomers from this stable are often capable of winning; easy to see her making an impression as some good aspects to her profile and the current trainer form is another tick.

Irish Banba

Jockey: Jorge Vargas Jr Trainer: John Servis Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 623-

Comment: Three-race maiden though does have a second place to her name; went down by 1l in a maiden special weight at Parx in November; the trainer is going well; back from an absence here.

Matty B Good

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Joseph Mazza Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 9

J. Belkin

Hot Lead

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 5

Comment: Finished fifth and beaten 6l first time out in Belmont At The Big A maiden special weight over 6f at 9-2 four weeks ago; related to Stakes winner True Statesman and this son of Too Darn Hot looks the part on breeding; he's a serious player with a little experience under his belt and was a bit unlucky last time.

Valentinian

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 1343

Comment: Not beaten that far in third (9l) in a stakes (sloppy track) last month; lightly raced (this just his fifth race); definite chance if duplicating the form of his most recent win and down in class to claiming company.

Cupid's Dude

Jockey: Brian Jr Hernandez Trainer: Lindsay Schultz Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 4835

Comment: Could not manage better than fifth in an allowance optional claimer (bobbled at the start) at Parx upped to 1m½f in May; lightly raced (this just his fifth race); related to Stakes winner Moon Swag; must go on the shortlist as shown he can win fairly recently and his most recent trackwork was pleasing.

Comment: Flourishing at present (last six form figures of 131121) and has achieved four wins from 11 career runs; gained a just under 4l success two weeks ago (Parx, muddy track) in an optional claimer; likely player despite being up in class.

Comment: Narrow winner of an allowance optional claimer (Churchill Downs, muddy track) 36 days ago; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-14 but all her wins achieved at a lower level; easy to oppose as facing tougher company.

Corruption

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 11214

Comment: Has chalked up four wins from his last six; proved competitive when hitting the board in a Grade 3 four months ago; not beaten too far when fourth of eight at Saratoga over 1m1f (Grade 1) last month; booking of Javier Castellano takes the eye; chance.

Tawny Port

Jockey: Florent Geroux Trainer: Miguel Clement Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 36-67

Comment: Has done all his winning at a lower level and not won for some time now; finished tailed off over 1m6f at Saratoga (stakes Grade 2 Grade 3, sloppy track) on first run for this trainer last month; concern he might not be fully tuned up so one to tread carefully with.

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Jorge Delgado Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 6-52331

Comment: Smart performer at his pomp; back to winning ways in a claimer did so accounting for five of these rivals last month; has to be respected as jockey does well from inner gates here.

Consultant

Jockey: Chantal Sutherland Trainer: Robert Klesaris Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 85/63

Comment: Respectable effort to finish third, beaten 1½l over 1m½f at Laurel Park (optional claimer) last month; admirable career strike-rate (four from 18 to date) and better than this level in his pomp; hard to ignore.

Mailman Money

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 8/8-9 F: 66-823

Comment: Third behind Be Here over 1m½f here (claimer) when involved in the finish last month; has won seven races from 6f to 1m1f and quality operator in his prime; recent effort was creditable so is of interest.

More Than Work

Jockey: Isaac Castillo Trainer: Kelly Breen Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 7-7722

Comment: Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 5-24) and admirably consistent; close up second three weeks ago behind Be Here in a claimer; much respected.

Attrayant

Jockey: Madison Olver Trainer: Roy Lerman Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 35525

Comment: Sole victory becoming a distant memory; found life tough when 15l back in fifth splitting Mailman Money, Be Here and Drakon (sloppy track) last month in a claimer; claiming value now drops to $10.5k; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Curlins Cruzin

Jockey: Jadiel Zambrana Trainer: Ruperto Perez Age/Wt: 4/8-2 F: 16486

Comment: No impression when sixth of ten at Parx over 7f (claimer) last week; hasn't really fired since his success in a claimer at Parx four months ago; class riser as runs for a $10.5k tag here; switching to turf for the first time; makes limited appeal with a number of his rivals in good nick.

Fatima's Blessing

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 5713

Comment: Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; better than this level in his prime; not beaten far in a claimer when third behind Be Here three weeks ago; should prove competitive.

Mac Daddy Too

Jockey: Jean Aguilar Trainer: Howard Brown Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 538154

Comment: This is his level; not beaten too far when fourth of six here over 5f (claimer) last month on debut for this trainer; should not be far away as reverting to this trip sure to suit and shown he can get his head in front.

Cabinet Pik

Jockey: Luis Ocasio Trainer: Pompeyo Gomez Age/Wt: 10/8-9 F: 0-P759

Comment: Behind Be Here when ninth last month in a claimer; possible that there's no more in the locker and hasn't really fired since his success in a claimer at Meadowlands in September; his best looks to be behind him and very difficult to fancy.

Crafty Don

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Silvino Ramirez Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 7-44

Comment: Often been there or thereabouts lately; no longer appears to be improving; finished behind Doin This two weeks ago when beaten 13l (fourth of five) in an allowance optional claimer; his best looks to be behind him and others are preferred.

Midnight Story

Cassation

Jockey: Jeiron Barbosa Trainer: Anthony Margotta Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 8-534

Comment: Not a frequent winner and may have reached limits of his ability; last of four 21 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; now down in class (in for $15k from $30k); probably unlikely to trouble the principals as best days now look to behind him.

Lemon Creek Louie

Comment: Finished eighth, beaten 13l, in a claimer at Delaware Park on his first start for this trainer two weeks ago; C&D winner although not added to that in previous eight tries and good and bad recent runs found on his CV; class riser as runs for a $15k tag here; now looks to be past his prime and has some questions to answer.

Go Irish
