Verdict: VIOLENT VIXEN has been a winner at this track and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick. Saloon Girl looks the biggest threat.

Sweet Desantis

Jockey: Joel Cruz Trainer: M Ferraro Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 12315-

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 7l in fifth) over 1m½f here (allowance race, sloppy track) in November; knows how to win here; steps down in trip.

Saloon Girl

Jockey: Luis Perez Trainer: Nirka Huertas Age/Wt: 9/8-6 F: 4258-3

Comment: Unable to land a blow when third of five (sloppy track) last week in an optional claimer; one-time useful operator and season-ticket holder here with eight wins; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so is respected.

Jockey: Rafael Jr Rohena Trainer: Michael Sabine Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 23357-

Comment: Creditable effort to finish seventh, beaten 5½l six months ago in an allowance race; facing a testing assignment and may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Verdict: ONLY IN MY DREAMS is top of the list. She is a newcomer from a big yard, while Duchessofnormandy and My Angel are more names to consider.

Only In My Dreams

Jockey: Emanuel Diego De Trainer: Chris Englehart Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Trainer has enjoyed debutant winners at this course; sibling of Mel's Baby Sister (7f winner); every chance with signs of encouragement in profile.

Digital Currency

Jockey: Keiber Coa Trainer: James Acquilano Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 49-

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when ninth of ten over 7f at Aqueduct (maiden claimer) in November; yet to finish better than fourth in her six races; has had some time off; significantly reduced claiming tag a concern so easy enough to take on.

Duchessofnormandy

Jockey: Andre Worrie Trainer: Jeffrey Englehart Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 8-

Comment: Held when eighth (beaten 17l) on her debut at Saratoga at 33-1 in August; returning from a layoff here; can be on the premises if giving a more streetwise showing and she now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Comment: Although yet to hit the target, she has shown ability; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 8l) in a maiden special weight 16 days ago on debut for this trainer; is respected.

I Am Ev

Jockey: Jacqueline Davis Trainer: James Acquilano Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 628

Comment: Some promise; closest she has come to winning after three starts was a second; eighth beaten 28l in February at Aqueduct in a maiden claimer; could be telling that she is in for a lower tag so looks an unlikely winner.

Banker Murray

Jockey: Michael Jr Davila Trainer: Edmund Davis Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 5588-5

Comment: Some promise; closest she has come to winning after seven starts was a second; out of the frame when fifth here over 4½f (maiden special weight) last month; first attempt in claiming company; might find this company a little easier but makes little appeal.

Bayou Melody

Jockey: Kevin Navarro Trainer: Jonathan Buckley Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 11141-

Inouaintalkintome

Jockey: Carlos Camilo Trainer: Samuel Morales Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 32284

Comment: Form lately has been a mixed bag and perhaps looks to have to reached her ceiling; beaten fourth of nine in a claimer at Tampa Bay Downs last month; this is the only ride on the card for Carlos Camilo; others more persuasive given the strong opposition here.

Diva Banker

Comment: Not beaten that far in third (6l) over 5½f here (optional claimer) six months ago; often been there or thereabouts lately; form could be levelling off; returns from an absence here; others are preferred as best days now look to behind her.

Comment: Possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability and generally struggled with a record of 1-25; split Five Destinations and Bonne Chance when fourth two weeks ago over 4½f here (claimer) on debut for this trainer; a lot on his plate here and only limited appeal.

Olazabal

Jockey: Joel Cruz Trainer: Rachel Sells Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 6-485

Comment: Respectable effort (beaten just over 3l, dropped back to 4½f) last month in a claimer; calmer waters here (in for $5k, $11k tag last time); is a player as latest run was an encouraging one.

Bottomless Refill

Comment: String of consistent efforts of late and course specialist (three wins from seven); fair effort (beaten just over 3l) a week ago when dropped to this trip (muddy track) in a claimer; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so should be on the premises.
