Straight To Water

Jockey: Tais Lyapustina Trainer: Linda Albert Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: 14

Comment: Could not manage better than fourth over 1m at Laurel Park (allowance optional claimer, behind Change My World, muddy track) last month; lightly raced (running for just the third time); hard enough to fancy.

In The Chase

Jockey: J Acosta Trainer: Michael Jones Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: 3-4515

Comment: Finished last of five at Aqueduct over 6½f (stakes, muddy track) five weeks ago; may have to settle for supporting role despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Jockey: Jean Briceno Trainer: Jose Corrales Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: 1-4131

Verifire

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 1

Comment: Won his first race in easy fashion (at Colonial Downs over this distance) at 13-5 two months ago; from a powerful stable and this son of Authentic looks the part on breeding; first run in a claimer; strong claims.

Jockey: Ismerio Villalobos Trainer: Kieron Magee Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 52521

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; 20-1 when winning Laurel Park maiden claimer, breaking his duck at the seventh time of asking last month; claiming tag rises to $50k here; he can be taken on as step up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher.

Comment: Tailed off in a maiden special weight (sloppy track) at Keeneland six weeks ago; looks the part on breeding (by Ghostzapper) and related to Stakes winner Limited Liability; can be on the premises as she should benefit from that experience and her pedigree offers room to progress.

Comment: Solid effort in defeat to finish second after going off 33-1 in a maiden special weight at Laurel Park 21 days ago upped to this trip; related to Stakes winner La Castiglione; jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and should be on the premises.

Panama Canal

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Horacio De Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: English Channel gets winners on the turf; newcomers from this yard are capable of striking; from the same family as Waridi Candy, a winner over 1m½f; others look more obvious on paper; she could be one for another day.

Abundant Love

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-22

Comment: Stepped up on her last two starts; ran encouragingly when just over 1l runner-up in February (Gulfstream Park) in a maiden special weight; looks likely to go well as recent performance was encouraging.

Comment: Beaten just over 2l 48 days ago when sent off 40-1 in a Grade 3 at Gulfstream Park upped to 1m4f; Irad Ortiz a notable jockey booking; one to consider if confirming promise shown last time and dropping in class.

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Laurel Park (beaten 8l) in a stakes (muddy track) in front of Feeling Woozy last month; has largely been consistent of late; shown all winning form at Charles Town (four successes); makes limited appeal despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Comment: Beaten 11l in seventh at Laurel Park four months ago in an allowance optional claimer; quality operator at his peak and he can be competitive at this level; class dropper as runs for a $40k tag here; entitled to respect; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and he knows how to win.

Katie's Notion

Jockey: Jorge Ruiz Trainer: Carlos Mancilla Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 3141-3

Comment: On target twice in his last four outings; has been consistent of late; split a number of these rivals in an allowance race (broke slowly at the start) when beaten just over 1l to finish third (Laurel Park) last month; should go close.

Jockey: Forest Boyce Trainer: III Ollie Figgins, Age/Wt: 3/8-3 F: 29-54

Comment: Split a number of these rivals in an allowance race (Laurel Park, bobbled at the start) posting a respectable effort 21 days ago; Forest Boyce a notable jockey booking; this line-up contains some strong opposition so there are better alternatives here.

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Michael Pino Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 00-581

Comment: Managed two wins in his last six outings; easy claimer winner at Laurel Park, managing to get across to lead from stall eight last month; trainer is ticking along nicely; should give it a bold bid despite having more on his plate.

Comment: Beaten three-quarters of a length over 5½f at Laurel Park (allowance race) behind Katie's Notion six months ago; C&D has proven suitable before; consistent performer; returns from an absence here; he has won after a layoff in the past and should not be far away.

Verdict: ENNIS TOWN might find the race opens up for him with the likelihood of plenty of competition for the lead and is entitled to make his presence felt in first-time blinkers. Privman and Cadeau d'Argent could also have a role to play.

Cadeau D'argent

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Niall Saville Age/Wt: 3/8-12

Comment: First career outing for this three-year-old son of Gift Box; others look more obvious on paper; might be best to watch the betting.

Firmantown

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: Carlos Mancilla Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: 2-546

Comment: Last of six last month at Laurel Park in a maiden claimer; without a win in four attempts although has finished second; easy to oppose with more demanding test in store.

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Jane Cibelli Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: 6849-

Comment: First-time blinkers didn't work at Gulfstream Park when last of nine in December in a maiden special weight; still looking to open his account after four runs; switching to dirt for the first time; returns from a layoff; easy enough to take on.

Gung Ho

Jockey: Victor Carrasco Trainer: Arnaud Delacour Age/Wt: 3/8-12

Comment: Related to Happy Valentine, winning form over 5½f-7½f; newcomers from this trainer are often capable of winning; this son of More Than Ready looks the part on breeding; market may guide on this one as this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals.

Decorum

Jockey: Xavier Perez Trainer: Andrew Ali Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: -

Comment: Related to 4½f winner Iminchargenow; first public outing; passed over unless attracting strong support as trainer often leaves something to work on.

Privman

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Bob Baffert Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: 2-

Comment: Went close on his debut when second (5f, Los Alamitos Race Course) at evens last June; represents a powerful stable and looks the part on breeding (by Justify); layoff to overcome; the yard is going well; he has a shout if reproducing initial effort and his pedigree offers room to progress.

Comment: Bumped at the start over 6f at Laurel Park (allowance optional claimer) on his debut for new trainer (sloppy track) when last of eight 20 days ago; in for a $32k tag so down in class ($40k last time); makes limited appeal.

Comment: Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-16) and a Grade 3 winner three months ago; not beaten too far when fifth at Keeneland in a Grade 1 five weeks ago; likely to be a threat with lower class a definite positive and the longer distance is likely to help.

White Rocks

Jockey: Victor Carrasco Trainer: Arnaud Delacour Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 2-115

Comment: Won a stakes three months ago and winner of two of her four career starts; not disgraced when fifth of 11 over 1m½f at Turfway Park (stakes), showing early speed to lead from a wide draw two months ago; big chance.

Comment: Has a nice pedigree (by Into Mischief); won a maiden special weight by just over 2l (Gulfstream Park) when registering her first success at the second time of asking upped to this trip 36 days ago; facing a tougher assignment than last time, can be taken on.

Comment: Held when third beaten 10l at Keeneland over 7f (Grade 2, sloppy track) six weeks ago; finished ahead of G w's Girl but was behind Stunner; went close in a stakes in February; successful twice in her last five starts; this is a step down in class but looks opposable.

Maggie's Girl

Jockey: Larry Reynolds Trainer: Timothy Grams Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 1121-6

Comment: Finished sixth, beaten 8l by Mendys Honey at Charles Town last month in a stakes; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 11-18; first run on turf; has to be considered.

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when eighth of nine over 5½f at Keeneland (Grade 3) five weeks ago; won a stakes in January and achieved plenty of success against this sort of company; class drop is a plus; needs considering.

Cataleya Strike

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Rodolfo Salomon Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 5-2411

Comment: Bids to pull off a hat-trick but wins have come at a lower level; awkward break at the start over 1m1f at Laurel Park (stakes) when springing 15-2 surprise (muddy track) last month; this represents a step up in class so has some questions to answer.

Comment: A poor result at a short price when eighth over 5½f at Colonial Downs (maiden special weight) in August; returns from a layoff; is a player as finished second in July and market vibes last time suggest she is capable of better.

Devilish One

Jockey: Sheldon Russell Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5

Comment: Not far behind Veola last month when fifth (Laurel Park, 6f); from a respected trainer; the Brittany Russell outfit is running hot currently; that experience should set her in good stead so one to watch out for.
