Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Jayde Gelner Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 9

Comment: Well beaten behind the fourth, Hot Pink, (at Lone Star Park over 5f) when held on her debut at 5-1 last month; progress needed on this second career run.

Mo'o Lio

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Shawn Davis Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire capable of getting smart offspring; regular trackwork dispels any fitness concerns; could be in the mix as some good aspects to her profile.

Appeal

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Been active in workouts; anything this stable sends out needs to be respected; should not be far away as some good aspects to her profile.

Tiz A Ten I See

Jockey: Freddy Manrrique Trainer: Austin Gustafson Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Trainer has a good record with newcomers here; easy to see her making an impression as some good aspects to her profile and the hot form of the stable is a bonus.

Gambling Den

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Danny Pish Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Racing education begins here for this daughter of Burrow; trainer gets plenty of debutant winners; market confidence needed to make her of interest.

Chicka Chick

Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: Danny Pish Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 63

Comment: Produced an encouraging effort (third of nine, beaten 5l) over 5f here (maiden special weight); closely matched with Girls Knicks Now on that running last month; no surprise to see her go well.

Hot Pink

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 48

Comment: Finished fourth beaten a neck in a claimer last Thursday; producing fairly consistent form; achieved just the one win; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role with several rivals in good nick.

Risk Profile

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 3-7974

Comment: Quality operator at his peak; not beaten too far when fourth here in a claimer 48 days ago; finished ahead of Larry's Legend but was behind Arthur; must go on the shortlist as has been on the scene in the recent past.

Da Ringo

Jockey: Jose Perez Trainer: Alejandro Baldillez Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 3155-

Comment: Comfortably beaten into fifth in a claimer at Zia Park in December upped to 1m½f; grade looks suitable; now a lower claiming tag ($5k from $7.5k) so down in class; Jose Perez having only ride on the card; should be on the premises as the return to this distance should be more suitable and he was successful three starts back.

Arthur

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: H Ashford Jr Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 9-0913

Comment: A course winner; finished ahead of two of these rivals in a claimer when 8l third 48 days ago; peak figure in the past year is the best in the field so likely to be a contender.

Larry's Legend

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Joseph Petalino Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 744479

Comment: Finished ninth but wasn't beaten too far (7l) over 5½f here (claimer, behind a few of these rivals) last month; has won at this course; form could be levelling off; facing a testing assignment and not easy to fancy.

Sir Ruckus

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Martin Cabral Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 242167

Comment: Has achieved three wins from ten career runs and normally pretty consistent; split a number of these rivals in a claimer when running with credit in finishing seventh last month; this looks a decent race so has questions to answer.

Changing Times

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 53-095

Comment: Out of the frame when fifth over 5f here (claimer) on his first start for this trainer four weeks ago; from a powerful stable and four wins to his name - from 5½f to 1m; now a lower claiming tag ($5k from $10k) so down in class; he should go close if replicating the best of his form.

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 9/8-12 F: 249063

Comment: Has been consistent of late and is a specialist at this trip; went close when third in a claimer 27 days ago; recent display was promising so expected to be in the thick of things.

Affectionto Autism

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: Samuel Calvario Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 274862

Comment: Runner-up of seven when sent off 22-1 here over 5½f (claimer) last month; a winner on five occasions from 5½f to 1m but possible that there's no more in the locker; unlikely to make a serious impact as now looks to be past his prime.

Verdict: TOWN HERO looks set for a big run. He looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and can confirm placings with Absolutely Certain, Solevo and Crockett, who were behind him when last seen.

Deacon Jones

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Vonn Mallery Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 055-46

Comment: Yet to win in 11 starts; not disgraced in sixth last month in a maiden special weight; first attempt on turf; this is competitive and might not be up to this.

Solevo

Comment: Finished fourth but only beaten 1½l in a maiden special weight last month when separating a number of reopposing rivals upped to 1m; long-term maiden (0-12); hard to dismiss as recent performance was encouraging.

Crockett

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Francatelli and this son of Not This Time looks the part on breeding; split a number of these rivals in a maiden special weight on debut for this trainer upped to 1m when fifth of 11 five weeks ago; chance as shown promise on occasion and his pedigree offers room to progress.

Awol

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Joseph Petalino Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 69853

Comment: Well beaten third in a maiden claimer when ahead of a couple of these last month; has arguably shown improved form the last twice but yet to win after ten starts; with more on his plate one to tread carefully with.

Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: Terry Eoff Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 34356
