Comment: Sixth of eight beaten 18l in October at Remington Park in a maiden claimer; six-race maiden but has managed to finish third; claiming value now drops to $5k; she takes on the boys here; should be on the premises if replicating best previous efforts.

Comment: Failed to complete at Oaklawn Park three months ago in a claimer; successful three times from 14 career runs; the Abel Ramirez-Rodriguez outfit is running hot currently; moves down to an easier grade (in for $7.5k); unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Comment: Ran well when beaten three-quarters of a length over 6f at Oaklawn Park (starter allowance) on first run for this trainer 43 days ago; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a seventh career win); can be in the mix.

Comment: Not beaten far (muddy track) five weeks ago (Will Rogers Downs) in a claimer; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 14-56); could be in the mix as lower claiming tag should make this easier and he can cope with this step up in class.
