Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: THIRSTY NIC is hard to look beyond. She finished ahead of Shesayshello, Dangerella and Pocket Knife when last seen and has been successful at this track before.

Lady Mormont

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Sam Dronen Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: -431

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; broke her duck at the seventh attempt over 6f here (maiden claimer) last month; now a lower claiming tag ($2.5k from $5k) so down in class; could be in the mix.

Shesayshello

Jockey: Akatsuki Tomita Trainer: Tena Birdwell Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 2653

Comment: Split a number of these rivals in a claimer upped to 1m when beaten 6l in third last month; has won here previously; now down in class (in for $2.5k from $5k); should be on the premises as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively.

Union Harbor

Linchpin's Locket

Jockey: Francisco Diaz Lopez Trainer: Alan Bozell Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 18-308

Comment: Behind Parker's Fifteen and Pocket Knife (runner-up and sixth) here in a claimer when finishing last of eight four weeks ago; class dropper as runs for a $2.5k tag here; might find this level a bit too hot to handle so hard to fancy.

Sumthintotalkabout

Jockey: Kevin Orozco Trainer: Howard Gibson Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 24-514

Comment: Track has proven suitable before; signs of improvement on last two runs; finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (8l) at Grants Pass last month in an allowance race; must be high on list if duplicating the form of her most recent win and stepping up in trip is a positive.

Thirsty Nic

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Tim McCanna Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 3-64512

Comment: Has won at this track; shown recent signs of improvement; had three of these behind in a claimer when 6l second last month; calmer waters here (in for $2.5k, $5k tag last time); respected.

Parker's Fifteen

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Jorge Rosales Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: 354324

Comment: Admirably consistent and grade looks suitable; creditable fourth last month in a claimer; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $2.5k); if she is able to build on her most recent effort then has prospects.

Dangerella

Jockey: Chel C Bailey Trainer: Miguel Hernandez Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 837956

Comment: You have to go back a fair way to find her only win; bumped at the start when beaten 11l splitting Thirsty Nic, Shesayshello and Pocket Knife two weeks ago in a claimer; in for a $2.5k tag so down in class ($5k last time); makes limited appeal as this sort of tag has hampered her win prospects of late.

A Ryder's Trick

Jockey: Silvio Amador Trainer: Isidro Tamayo Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 592120

Comment: Finished last of ten in a claimer at Los Alamitos Race Course three weeks ago; drops to a $2.5k tag; has to be considered as shown she can get her head in front.

Jockey: Francisco Monroy Trainer: Sergio Perez Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 588665

Comment: Finished last of five last week at Grants Pass in a claimer; drops to a $2.5k tag from $3.2k; should go well.

Comment: Has won here; behind three of these rivals in a claimer when last of seven two weeks ago; tag has been dropped to $2.5k; others have more pressing claims.

Escapefromparadise

Jockey: Isaias Enriquez Trainer: Billy Christian Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 864865

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 7l) in a claimer last month; hasn't really fired since her success in a claimer at Emerald Downs last August; higher claiming tag here so up in class; meeting some horses in good form and hard to see her taking this.

Jockey: Kevin Orozco Trainer: Jorge Rosales Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 136914

Comment: Not far behind Big Catty when fourth over 6f here (claimer) last month; has chalked up two wins from her last six; $5k claiming tag this time (up from $4k); hard to dismiss.

Comment: Has not had much racing; back in the winners' enclosure when springing a surprise to win at 25-1 last month in a claimer; despite that Emerald Downs success, may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Comment: Outran 33-1 odds when a close runner-up last Thursday in a claimer; does not win very often; claiming tag rises from $3.5k last time; should be on the premises as latest run was an encouraging one and has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Chelan Summer

Jockey: Francisco Duran Trainer: David Martinez Age/Wt: 3/8-3 F: 051

Comment: Narrow 20-1 Emerald Downs maiden claimer winner when getting off the mark at the third time of asking last month; claiming value rises from $10k last time; faces a tougher test as he steps out of maiden claiming company not one to rely on.

Drive Train

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Scott Tubbs Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 6-3213

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; a respectable third of nine (Turf Paradise) three months ago in a claimer; looks likely to be involved.

Sir Greyson

Comment: Has managed nine wins from 18 career runs; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 6l) last month in a starter allowance; one to consider as his rider is capable of making the most of a favourable draw.
