Comment: Well held third of eight on his debut at Gulfstream Park in first-time blinkers at 22-1 five weeks ago; looks the part on breeding (by Halladay); should be involved as appeals from a breeding angle and he knows more about the job in hand.

Daniel's Magic

7/1

Comment: This C&D holds no fears; turned in a solid effort in defeat 29 days ago, when third here over 6f (allowance optional claimer) with two of these rivals behind; form of the trainer is a plus; competitive shout.

14/1

Comment: Finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 4l) last month in an allowance optional claimer; he can make a bold bid if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

Comment: Has been fairly consistent this year and resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); unfancied when going close behind Zeus' War upped to 6f last month in an allowance race.

Naturally Blonde

13/2

Comment: Ridden positively to get across to lead from stall nine in a maiden special weight when beaten 9l on debut for this trainer 50 days ago; not yet off the mark in seven attempts although has finished second; entitled to respect based on the pick of her form.

Young Love

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 6-

13/2

Comment: Finished sixth on her debut when well fancied (here, 5f) sporting blinkers at 5-4 a year ago; related to Stakes winner Only One America and has a nice pedigree (by Grazen); not seen for some time now; she should go close if finding progression from her early experience and was a bit unlucky last time.

Comment: Out of the frame when fourth (Del Mar) in November (stumbled at the start) in a maiden claimer; layoff to overcome; facing a tougher assignment than last time, may be vulnerable.

Penny Worth

Jockey: Abel Lezcano Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 3/8-8

16/1

Comment: Stable can prepare one to win first time out; related to multiple race winner Mo Connelly (4½f-1m); has to be considered with signs of encouragement in profile and the trainer is hot at the moment.

Sei Bella

Jockey: Tyler Baze Trainer: Sean McCarthy Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 235

16/1

Comment: Without a win in three attempts although has finished second; finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (4½l) over 1m here (maiden special weight) 51 days ago; she can make a bold bid.

Comment: Produced an encouraging effort (third of 11, beaten 2½l) 50 days ago on first run for her current trainer when separating a number of reopposing rivals in a maiden special weight; related to Grade 1 winner The Chosen Vron; hard to ignore.

Sally's Wish

Jockey: Epifanio Garcia Trainer: D Baker Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Sire a speed influence; this daughter of Vronsky is running for the first time; overlooked unless the market says otherwise as this doesn't look straightforward against rivals with experience.

Sacred Sound

Jockey: Ricardo Gonzalez Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Trainer capable of preparing a newcomer to win; sire an influence for speed; faces fairly tall order so would be a surprise to see this one figure.
