Verdict: STIRRING UP DUST has won here once before and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed. Franny and Scooter's Honor are interesting.

Scooter's Honor

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Shawn Davis Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 56166-

Comment: Beaten 10l when sixth of nine in a claimer at Remington Park in October; she can be competitive at this level; has had some time off; must be respected if duplicating the form of her most recent win.

Cayman Hot

Comment: Beaten a fair way when fourth over 5f at Sam Houston (allowance race) last month; runs in claiming company for the first time; others more persuasive.

Stirring Up Dust

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 61-58

Comment: Track has proven suitable before; related to Stakes winner Dust A Flying; fair effort when beaten 3½l, finishing eighth of ten (Sam Houston) upped to 1m in February in an allowance race; first run in a claimer; clear chance as shown she can get her head in front.

Comment: Off the mark at the seventh time of asking in a maiden special weight when springing 20-1 surprise (Sam Houston) last month; signs of improvement on last two runs; should go well.

Viewers Discretion

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Shawn Davis Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 1119-6

Comment: Came home sixth two months ago in race won by Imaluckycharm at Sam Houston when beaten 7l in an allowance optional claimer; winning form over C&D; successful three times in her last five starts; hard enough to fancy as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

Comment: Is a multiple winner at this distance (all wins at this trip) and admirably consistent; produced an encouraging effort (second of eight, beaten 2l) in an allowance race (Sam Houston) behind Blood Orange two months ago; workout history raises concerns this race may be needed so is passed over.

Makin A Beeline

Comment: Attempting to open her account at the fourth time of asking; was sixth of 12, beaten 12l, at Sam Houston six weeks ago in a maiden special weight; a leading contender as she drops into a maiden claimer for the first time and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Jaime Castellanos Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4-9344

Comment: Tenth attempt to break his duck; improved showing when fourth beaten 2½l (muddy track) last month in a maiden special weight; assuming he steps up from most recent effort then hard to dismiss.

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Jayde Gelner Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 3-1422

Comment: Ran a good race in defeat when a close second six weeks ago just ahead of Blue Heavenly at Sam Houston in a stakes; normally pretty consistent and resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so no surprise if she has a big say.

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; successful twice in her last three starts; not beaten that far in fifth (5l) over 1m1f at Sam Houston (allowance race) when splitting two of these 49 days ago; first run in claiming company; is respected as didn't get the rub of the green last time.

Cafezinho

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 7-618

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 8l into eighth) in an allowance race at Sam Houston 49 days ago; shown all winning form at Sam Houston (three successes) but record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-12); notable jockey booking; needs to be respected if excused most recent run as achieved claimer success two runs back and was a bit unlucky last time.

Stilettos

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: W Calhoun Age/Wt: 3/8-2 F: 110-

Comment: No impression when tenth of 14 in a Grade 3 at Churchill Downs in September; winner of two of her three runs to date and a stakes winner in August; returning from a layoff here; drop back to claiming level so likely to be a contender.

Verdict: WAUNEKA is the recommendation. She can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front and is proven at the trip. Rubia and Bluebonnet Girl must be respected.

Diamond Empress

Jockey: Elvin Gonzalez Trainer: Jaylan Clary Age/Wt: 3/8-2 F: 36-776

Comment: Been generally quiet since successful in a maiden special weight at Louisiana Downs in September; unable to land a blow in sixth in an allowance race (Sam Houston) upped to 1m five weeks ago; this looks a decent race so makes little appeal.

Miss Mozetti

Dr. Ray D.

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Robertino Diodoro Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 31-23

Comment: Admirably consistent; ran well to finish third (beaten 3l) in a claimer at Santa Anita in February; the Robertino Diodoro outfit is running hot currently.

Penny Powers

Jockey: Leandro Goncalves Trainer: Scott Young Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 17-347

Comment: Finished seventh but wasn't beaten too far (8l) at Will Rogers Downs over 5½f (claimer) four weeks ago; now up to allowance level so hard enough to fancy.

Wec Keah

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Shawn Davis Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 21225-

Comment: Problems at the start (bumped) when close behind Dulcia at Remington Park five months ago in an allowance race; this C&D holds no fears; useful in this grade; returns from an absence here; her best form stacks up so in with a chance.

Bluebonnet Girl

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 2-1578

Comment: Finished last of eight in a stakes 41 days ago at Sam Houston upped to 1m½f; resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); has claims as should benefit from return to this trip and down in class.

Custom Sunshine

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: George Bryant Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 12-521

Comment: Three wins have been gained over this distance; successful twice in her last five starts; managed to get on the lead from her wide berth in an allowance optional claimer (muddy track, Delta Downs) in February, getting the job done by 3½l; first attempt at turf; has been found wanting at this level before so looks risky.

Dulcia

Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: Danny Pish Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 3-423

Comment: Third at Sam Houston when 11-10 in a claimer 49 days ago; managed just one success in her career to date but normally pretty consistent; she has a shout despite being up in class and her latest run was promising.
