Callas

Jockey: Uriel Lopez Trainer: Michael Slager Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 0-6284

Comment: Finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (7l) five weeks ago dropped back in distance on first run for this trainer in a claimer; tag drops from $12.5k to $5k here; has shown some capability here and there and should go well.

Sequaya

Jockey: Valentin Esquivel Trainer: Rigo Rosas Age/Wt: 9/8-0 F: 4555-6

Comment: Finished last of six in a claimer behind Annie's Hope, two weeks ago on debut for this trainer; possible that there's no more in the locker; hard to see her taking this.

Comment: Finished third but wasn't beaten too far (9l) over 5½f here (claimer) finished just ahead of Sequaya last month; strong claims as return to this trip is a plus and has proved she knows how to win.

Jockey: Olaf Hernandez Trainer: Tanner Tracy Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 789-01

Comment: Opened account at the fifth time of asking when springing 16-1 surprise last month in a maiden claimer; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; lower claiming tag shouldn't put you off so capable of going well.

Comment: Has gained three wins over C&D; third here when 13-8 in a claimer just ahead of Alyanaabi five weeks ago; a big player if replicating most recent run and stepping up in trip is a positive.

Jet Flight

Jockey: Luis Colon Trainer: Rigo Rosas Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 6415-6

Comment: Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-12); couldn't land a blow when sixth of seven in a claimer last month on debut for this trainer; now a lower claiming tag ($5k from $7.5k) so down in class; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Secret Operation

Jockey: Julio Felix Trainer: Michael Slager Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 3796-1

Comment: A most decisive winner last month in a claimer; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as has been found wanting at this level before.

Call'em All

Jockey: Victor Santiago Trainer: Hugh Robertson Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 4125-

Comment: Grade looks suitable; not beaten too far when fifth here in an allowance race on her debut for this trainer in October; rates a likely contender if replicating the best of her form.

Lady Helena

Jockey: Santiago Gonzalez Trainer: Rigo Rosas Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 2-6111

Comment: Made it a hat-trick last time; suited by this C&D; scored narrowly in an optional claimer upped to 1m½f last month on debut for this trainer; she can be taken on despite the last time out success.

Jockey: Constantino Roman Trainer: Hugo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 41-516

Bears' D

Jockey: Santiago Gonzalez Trainer: David Miller Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 58099-

Comment: Tailed off over 6½f at Turfway Park (maiden claimer) five months ago; yet to get off the mark in five attempts (fifth his best finish); has had some time off; others more persuasive as could be telling that he is in for a much lower tag.

My Last Escapade

Jockey: Uriel Lopez Trainer: Michael Slager Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: -0823

Comment: Creditable third when close behind Ragnow two weeks ago upped to this distance in a maiden claimer; stepped up on his last two starts; regularly been coming up a bit short lately so one to tread carefully with.

Ramesses

Jockey: Olaf Hernandez Trainer: Antonio Meraz Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 7-8532

Comment: Winless after 12 races but has arguably shown improved form the last twice; ran well when beaten just over 1l in a maiden claimer upped to this trip three weeks ago; the stable is going well; needs considering as he's impressed clockwatchers enough to suggest this higher tag not insurmountable and his last run was encouraging.

Cutlass King

Jockey: Victor Santiago Trainer: Harry Lynch Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 38-582

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; ran well when beaten 1½l faring better than previously in a maiden special weight on his first start for this trainer three weeks ago; can be in the thick of things if replicating most recent run.

Royal And Ready

Comment: Last of six over 5½f here (maiden claimer) when not far behind Royal And Ready last month; has found improvement of late but tenth attempt to lose maiden tag; drops to a $15k tag from $25k; has to prove this longer trip is what he wants and there are better alternatives here.

Comment: A winner over C&D; form has been a bit up and down of late; beaten a fair way when eighth 48 days ago at Turfway Park, managing to get across to lead from stall ten in a claimer; tends to find at least one too good; others make more appeal.
