Verdict: WEDDING MARCH is a strong pick. She can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front, while Power Connection represents a threat.

Cur Non

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Noel Sanchez Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 414

Comment: Held when fourth of six in an allowance optional claimer, finishing well behind reopposing Swiftwind 36 days ago; C&D has proven suitable before; others more persuasive.

Wedding March

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 12-

Comment: From a top stable; missed out by just under 2l in October (Delta Downs) in an allowance race; returns from a layoff here; Abel Ramirez-Rodriguez's runners are going great guns at the moment; a leading contender.

Comment: Beaten 12l at Zia Park in November in a stakes; a stakes winner in October and appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; first run in a claimer; returns from a layoff; dropped in grade to claiming level so should not be far away.

Compendium

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 43

Comment: Lightly raced (running for just the third time); has a nice pedigree (by Constitution); gave good account to finish third in a maiden special weight just ahead of Balmorhea two months ago upped to 7½f; first run in a claimer; likely to go well as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred daughter of Constitution.

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 8-04226

Comment: From a respected trainer and a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-11; not beaten too far when sixth of seven in an allowance optional claimer last month; now a lower claiming tag ($10k from $20k) so down in class; a major contender as jockey does well from inside draws here and his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Martin Cabral Age/Wt: 9/8-12 F: 51341

Comment: Gained a 2½l success at Sunray Park two months ago in a claimer; on target twice in her last four outings; may have to settle for supporting role as best days now look to behind her.

Comment: Can boast winning form over this C&D; on target three times in her last five outings; fair third of nine four weeks ago, showing early speed to lead from a wide draw in an allowance race; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so has to be taken seriously.

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 476223

Comment: Had a bunch of these behind him when third here in an allowance race last month; producing fairly consistent form; just the one victory on his CV; record suggests he is usually one to take on for win purposes so looks risky.

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 82112

Stayed In For Half

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 4-42422

Comment: Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 7-30) and string of consistent efforts of late; second when 9-10 in an optional claimer behind Luv To Win 36 days ago; big player as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Ima Bling Cat

Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: J Caldwell Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 333433

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts; a C&D winner; awkward break at the start in a claimer when well held third last month just over 5l behind Cane Creek Road; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; been struggling to get his head in front recently so one to tread carefully with.
