Verdict: BIG LEAP is a strong fancy. She looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast. Image Of Me, Tempting Lady and Marmo can give the selection something to think about.

Can I Get Awitness

Jockey: Edgar Morales Trainer: Joel Delacruz Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 464

Comment: Was fourth of seven, beaten 8l, at Fair Grounds upped to 7½f six weeks ago in a maiden optional claimer; first run on dirt; hard enough to fancy.

Steppin Tothe Beat

Jockey: Ben Curtis Trainer: Wayne Catalano Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 9

Comment: Held when last (beaten 28l) on her debut at Fair Grounds at 18-1 six weeks ago; claiming debut; progress needed on this second career run despite dropping in class.

Tempting Lady

Jockey: J R Leparoux Trainer: Troy Newton Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 35-3

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; fair effort when beaten 3½l in January at Aqueduct in a maiden claimer; in for a $12.5k tag so down in class ($20k last time); could go close if confirming promise shown last time.

Image Of Me

Jockey: Irving Moncada Trainer: Eric Foster Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 4-83

Comment: Well held third of eight at Turfway Park two months ago on first run for this trainer in a maiden claimer; first run on dirt; enters calculations as lower claiming tag suggests she may have less on her plate here.

Sperry Chalet

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: John Ortiz Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 8

Comment: Seemed to find life tough on her debut last month over this trip at Oaklawn Park in blinkers; related to Stakes winner Trickle In; claiming value now drops to $12.5k; needs to make above-average progress.

Big Leap

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Jonathan Thomas Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 8-546

Comment: First-time blinkers had no impact in a maiden claimer at Santa Anita when beaten 10l three weeks ago; still looking to open her account after four runs but nicely bred (by Bolt d'Oro); moves down to an easier grade (in for $12.5k); strong contender.

Comment: Three-race maiden but has managed to finish second; finished tailed off at Keeneland three weeks ago in a maiden claimer; claiming value now drops to $12.5k; now racing on dirt for the first time; others are preferred.

Verdict: BLINGING IT BACK is a very interesting newcomer with an eyecatching pedigree. Moonlight Beauty, Captain Gabe and Turin should also be in the hunt.

Blinging It Back

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Early foal; been active in workouts; related to Ima Discreet Lady, winning form over 5f-1m; has to be considered as some good aspects to his profile and could be a speedy type on breeding.

Mr American Pie

Jockey: Walter Rodriguez Trainer: Doug O'Neill Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Bred on sire side to appreciate sprint distances; bred to get better as he gets older; related to 6f winner Magnolia Prime; stable has a good record with newcomers.

Captain Gabe

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Michael Mccarthy-trained newcomers have a healthy record; should be in the mix with signs of encouragement in profile and could be a speedy type on breeding.

Mans Grace

Jockey: Santo Sanjur Trainer: Rey Hernandez Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Makes first racecourse appearance; bred to get better as he gets older; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise.

Turin

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Course debutants for this stable should be taken seriously; related to Grade 1 winner Battle Of Midway; could have a say.

Distorted Song

Jockey: Devin Magnon Trainer: Chasey Pomier Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Pedigree suggests he may get better with age; related to 5f winner Swiftwind; sire has produced lots of sprint winners; market may guide on this one.

Mercilesanihilator

Jockey: Jareth Loveberry Trainer: Larry Rivelli Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: This son of Audible looks the part on breeding; the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; runners trained by Larry Rivelli are always worthy of attention in the betting first-time up; easy to oppose.

Simone

Jockey: Irving Moncada Trainer: Caio Caramori Age/Wt: 2/7-13

Comment: Trackwork in the book allays fitness concerns; sire produces plenty of two-year-old winners; trainer is operating at a respectable strike-rate; fascinating to see how this one goes in the market on this first appearance.

Baytown Anubis

Jockey: Angel Serpa Trainer: Paul McEntee Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 9

Comment: Held when last (beaten 19l) on his debut in blinkers over this trip at Keeneland at 25-1 last month; could improve from first run although a leap forward required to win this.

Moonlight Beauty

Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: Wesley Ward Age/Wt: 2/8-4

Comment: Wesley Ward team does well at Churchill Downs with debutants; stable making hay with their two-year-olds; should not be far away with trainer in good form and there is speed in the pedigree.

Verdict: TWO EAGLES RIVER has every chance with winning C&D form and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick. Underhill's Tab and Scat Free are also respected.

Two Eagles River

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 2-3742

Comment: Problems at the start (bumped) at Keeneland over 6½f (claimer) when on the premises, finishing second last month; can boast winning form over this C&D; leading claims as lower claiming tag suggests he may have less on his plate here.

Comment: Last of eight three weeks ago at Oaklawn Park in an allowance optional claimer; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; one to consider as reverting to this trip sure to suit and he ran well in defeat three starts ago.

Tagliatelle

Jockey: Jaime Torres Trainer: Michael Tomlinson Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 61-42

Comment: Ahead of Regal Rey and Refuah when runner-up (beaten just under 2l) last month (Keeneland) in a claimer; a course winner; in for a $50k tag here, up from $40k last time.

Refuah

Jockey: Luan Machado Trainer: J Sweezey Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 4-1735

Comment: Normally pretty consistent; beaten just over 4l just behind Tagliatelle and Regal Rey in second and fourth posting a respectable display to finish fifth at Keeneland three weeks ago in a claimer; claiming value now rises to $50k; easy enough to take on as now looks to be past his prime.

Regal Rey

Jockey: Walter Rodriguez Trainer: Jerry Antonuik Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 11-64

Comment: Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); split Tagliatelle and Refuah when fourth last month at Keeneland in a claimer; in for a $50k tag here, up from $40k last time; a few rivals look in good form so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Beyond Best

Jockey: Mario Gutierrez Trainer: Genaro Garcia Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 6-383

Comment: Not beaten that far in third (7l) over 1m½f at Oaklawn Park (claimer) 20 days ago; a previous winner here; only ride on the card for Mario Gutierrez; in for a $50k tag here, up from $35k last time; not a great record on second run back after a layoff and only limited appeal.

Numero Seis

Jockey: Brian Jr Hernandez Trainer: Joe Sharp Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 94-17

Comment: Could not manage better than seventh at Fair Grounds three months ago in an allowance optional claimer; she meets the required standard ability wise; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; should be thereabouts if excused most recent run as achieved allowance race success two runs back and has proved she knows how to win.

Verdict: MAJOR DUDE is the recommendation. He looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and has a healthy career record, while Brilliant Berti and Mercante also merit consideration.

Piper's Factor

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Katerina Vassilieva Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 4164-4

Comment: Wins-runs record of 3-13; finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 5l) over 1m½f at Keeneland (allowance race) last month; faces a tougher assignment this time so can't be considered.

Skyro

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 5-716

Comment: Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a seventh win); not far behind Portofino, the runner-up, and Major Dude, the fourth, in a stakes at Gulfstream Park when beaten just over 4l in sixth five weeks ago; facing a testing assignment and may be vulnerable.

Money Supply

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Joe Sharp Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 7-3611

Comment: Career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 12-29) and aiming to complete a hat-trick; got home in front by just under 2l (Keeneland, sloppy track) three weeks ago in an allowance race; makes limited appeal as this looks tougher than last time.

Lagynos

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 7511-3

Comment: Just over 4l third to the reopposing Money Supply at Keeneland (sloppy track) three weeks ago in an allowance race; has won previously at this course; managed two wins in his last three outings; must be respected if replicating his best form and recent run should have blown away any cobwebs.

Hello Beauty

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: J Sisterson Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 77-64

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten 2l) two months ago (dropped to 1m) at Gulfstream Park in a maiden special weight; one to be interested in.

Stellify

Jockey: Florent Geroux Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: -32

Comment: From respected trainer; favourite but came up short at Fair Grounds 39 days ago in a maiden special weight; should figure.

Kentucky Flame

Jockey: Jaime Torres Trainer: Riley Mott Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sire gets turf winners; shares a dam with Hasta la Byebye, a 6f winner; others look more obvious on paper; this one is best watched.

Strive For Honor

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Cherie Devaux Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5

Comment: Beaten 6l on her debut over 1m½f at Fair Grounds at 17-2 three months ago; needs considering.

Fleetingly

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 6233-

Comment: Minor honours when 7-5 over 1m at Tampa Bay Downs (maiden special weight) on debut for this handler in December; came up short in three starts in Ireland; has had some time off; plenty of appeal.

My Gal

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Jonathan Thomas Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 33-5

Comment: Could not manage better than fifth at Keeneland when behind two of these three weeks ago in a maiden special weight; third two starts back and looks interesting.

Turmalina

Jockey: Edgar Morales Trainer: Paulo Campos Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 60

Comment: Finished tenth, beaten 12l, in a maiden special weight at Keeneland upped to 1m½f last month; not a betting proposition.

Massarat

Jockey: Ben Curtis Trainer: Brendan Walsh Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6-335

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 4½l in fifth, Fair Grounds) 40 days ago in a maiden special weight; stepped up on her last two starts; tackling an extra 1f now.

Something Stronger

Jockey: James Graham Trainer: Albert Stall Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 22-

Comment: Bumped at the start over 1m½f at Fair Grounds (maiden special weight) in front of Massarat putting in a solid effort to finish second over Christmas; this daughter of Justify looks the part on breeding; sire gets turf winners; returns from a break today.
