Verdict: REAL GOOD GAME gets the vote. She is an interesting newcomer from a good trainer, while Doublebarrelvinny and Sip And Go can't be ruled out either.

1	Real Good Game Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Todd Fincher Age/Wt: 2/8-4	SP
Comment: Related to How Ironic, winning form over 5f-1m1½f; newcomers from this stable are capable of striking; much respected as impressive workout history.
2	Flashout Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: J Caldwell Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Trainer does well here with debutants; bred to improve with age; related to Mr B Quiet, winning form over 7f-1m½f; would be a surprise to see this one figure.
3	Doublebarrelvinny Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 2/8-4	SP
Comment: Sibling of Double Airo (5½f winner); represents a powerful stable; she has a shout as some good aspects to her profile and the hot form of the yard is a bonus.
4	Ranger Town Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: H Ashford Jr Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Trainer has a good record with first-time-out runners here; early foal; sire gets speedy types; market could reveal prospects.
5	Lexi's Comeback Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: Jon Newbold Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Bred to get better with time; early foal; should have speed for this if taking after sire; overlooked unless the market says otherwise.
6	Sip And Go Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Trainer can ready a newcomer; related to 1m winner Lastcallforalcohol; the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; yard not synonymous with debutant winners; unconvincing workout history so overlooked unless the market says otherwise.

Coventina

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 98

Comment: Held when eighth of 11 over 5½f at Oaklawn Park (maiden claimer) 41 days ago; now down in class (in for $7.5k from $20k); should be involved.

Comment: Came up a bit short, beaten 3l when favourite, over 5½f here (maiden claimer) splitting Glitters Andie and Delphine last month on debut for this trainer; one to take seriously.

Glitters Andie

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Mark Hibdon Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6-04422

Comment: Has shown some recent improvement; had a couple of these behind her when runner-up here last month in a maiden claimer; been struggling to get her head in front recently so may be vulnerable.

Comment: Finished seventh, beaten 10l, over 6½f at Delta Downs (maiden claimer, muddy track) in February; still winless and defeats stacking up (nine on the bounce); claiming value now drops to $7.5k; others more persuasive.

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Joaquin Garza Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 024-

Comment: No real encouragement to be gleaned after finishing fourth at Laurel Park in December in a maiden claimer; drops to a $7.5k tag from $30k; returns from an absence here; should go close as shown some ability on occasion and she was strong in the market last time.

Comment: Beaten 22l when last on her debut (Santa Anita, 5½f) at 22-1 over Christmas; returns from a layoff here; progress needed on this second career run as greatly reduced claiming tag sends alarm bells ringing.

Executive Power

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 9-1222

Comment: Producing consistent form and has achieved three wins from 11 career runs; finished runner-up when 9-5 in an allowance optional claimer upped to 7½f last month; the return to this distance should be more suitable so has to be taken seriously.

Chief Brady

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Steve Roubion Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 43454

Comment: A while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win two years ago); finished fourth two weeks ago albeit only beaten just under 4l in an allowance optional claimer; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; hard to make a case for him as this is a fairly competitive event.

American Outlaw

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Todd Fincher Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 6-9951

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from his last six; won by 3½l in a claimer last month upped to 6f; should not be far away despite this step up in class and class rise seems surmountable given the form he's in.

Comment: Creditable effort when 14-1 third a week ago in an allowance race; has been fairly consistent this year and 11 wins to his name - from 5f to 1m; can figure as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months.

Delta Front

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Jayde Gelner Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 34-614

Comment: Grade looks suitable and has shown some recent improvement; far from disgraced (beaten just over 2l) over 5½f here (claimer); closely matched with Air It Out on that running 23 days ago; eased in class with tag standing at $5k here; should not be far away as shown he can win fairly recently.

Comment: Not beaten too far (2½l, muddy track) 21 days ago in a maiden special weight; improved form the last twice; not been able to get his head in front lately so hard enough to fancy.

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Matt Hebert Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 9/318-

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; not disgraced when eighth in an allowance race at Sam Houston last March; has a long absence to overcome; runs in claiming company for the first time; looks likely to be involved as his jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D and has proved he knows how to win.

Pun Intended

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 21/3-4

Comment: This just her fifth race; disappointing to see her finish fourth 48 days ago given market expectations at Sam Houston in an allowance race; rates a likely contender as jockey does well from inside draws here and has proved she knows how to win.

Lucky Vegas

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Dick Cappellucci Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 512-11

Comment: On a hat-trick and career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 6-17); scored by just under 3l in an optional claimer at Sunland Park on her first start for this trainer 51 days ago; step up to allowance company will make life tougher so easy enough to take on.

Ghostly Night

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Austin Gustafson Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 1-2222

Comment: Has maintained her consistent level of form and successful seven times from 31 career runs; was on the premises (runner-up, beaten 2l) at Sam Houston last month in an allowance race; should be thereabouts.

Raise The Alarm

Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: George Bryant Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 21-35

Comment: Beaten 10l when fifth of eight at Delta Downs (sloppy track) in February in an allowance race; resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); not hard to turn elsewhere with this looking like a hot contest.

In Spite Of It

Jockey: Miguel Fuentes Jr Trainer: Joel Marr Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 6241-

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Powell; off the mark at the fourth time of asking in a maiden special weight at Zia Park when winning by a head five months ago; returning from a layoff here; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role despite that win at Zia Park.

Just A Coed

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: W Calhoun Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 49-551

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; came good at the ninth time of asking 41 days ago over 6f at Sam Houston (maiden special weight), getting the job done by just over 4l; the stable has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; not ruled out.

Enigma Code

Jockey: Amin Castillo Trainer: Noel Sanchez Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 04-00

Comment: Still searching for first win after four tries; finished last of 12 in a maiden claimer (sloppy track) at Oaklawn Park five weeks ago; difficult to fancy with stamina to prove at this new trip.

Comment: Went down by 1l when second at Remington Park in November in a maiden claimer; has shown some recent improvement but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at eight; returning from a layoff here; this represents a step up in class so one to tread carefully with.

Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: J Caldwell Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 42444

Withering Gaze
