EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: NO LAYUPS is a firm selection. She can bounce back from a below-par effort latest, while Ruby's Ghost, Super Honey Timber and Leziate also have claims.

Leziate

Jockey: O Moreno Trainer: George Newland Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 77255

Comment: Unable to land a blow in fifth in a maiden claimer (Woodbine) when back to 5½f two weeks ago; should get involved as finished second at Turfway Park in February and she can cope with this step up in class.

Disgruntledpelican

Comment: Behind Daisycrest (Woodbine) when beaten a long way in October in a maiden claimer; faces a tougher assignment this time so is passed over.

Super Honey Timber

Jockey: Kirk Johnson Trainer: Michaela Neubauer Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 224-

Comment: Only finished fourth of nine despite odds of 4-9 in October in a maiden special weight; entitled to respect despite having more on her plate.

Faithful Gift

Jockey: Alexis Sanchez Trainer: Sharon Ceccato Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 43222-

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; produced an encouraging effort (runner-up of seven, beaten 4½l) over 6f here (maiden claimer) in October; others have more pressing claims as facing a tougher assignment this time.

Emma's Last Gem

Jockey: Austin Adams Trainer: Patrick County Age/Wt: 5/8-10

Comment: Related to Grade 2 winner Mighty Heart; others look more obvious on paper; probably best watched.

Speedy Lady

Jockey: Christopher Husbands Trainer: Ken Albu Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: -

Comment: First start in public for this daughter of Souper Speedy; interesting to see how she figures in the betting with some of these having run before.

Town's A Breeze

Jockey: Juan Crawford Trainer: Roy Agostino Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 5/9-

Comment: Finished out the back at Woodbine in July in a maiden special weight; first-time blinkers; can be on the premises despite having more on her plate.

No Layups

Jockey: Edgar Zenteno Trainer: Kenneth Smith Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 6422F-

Comment: Unfancied when falling in a maiden claimer at Woodbine in November; losing run stretches to 11 but has taken a step forward the last twice; leading contender despite this step up in class.

Sassy Seattle

Jockey: Da Sean Gaskin Trainer: C Rabstein Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 0-

Comment: Comfortably beaten into last on her debut over 7f at Woodbine at 100-1 six months ago; must make above-average progress to figure as facing tougher company.

Daisycrest

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: Roy Agostino Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 73235-

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten a fair way in a maiden claiming optional claiming at Woodbine six months ago; yet to win in 13 starts but shown recent signs of improvement; looks likely to be involved as shown some ability on occasion and she can handle the step up in class.

Ruby's Ghost

Jockey: Melanie Pinto Trainer: Michaela Neubauer Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 6-49

Comment: Finished last of nine at Fair Grounds dropped down to 6f in February in a maiden special weight; nicely bred (by Ghostzapper); she can make a bold bid despite this step up in class.

Exceed

Jockey: Matthew Dennis Trainer: George Newland Age/Wt: 7/8-2 F: 27530-

Back To Reality

Jockey: Terry Husbands Trainer: Julie Mathes Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 441-84

Comment: Good effort when beaten into fourth by half a length at Mountaineer Park over 6f (claimer) three weeks ago; grade looks suitable; by no means ruled out as shown he can win fairly recently.

Brady O'Brady

Jockey: Edgar Zenteno Trainer: Kenneth Smith Age/Wt: 11/8-12 F: 22435-

Comment: Has maintained his consistent level of form and winner of nine races at this venue; respectable fifth here over 5½f (claimer) when behind the reopposing Big Time Louie in October; must be high on list if replicating most recent run.

Fascination Street

Jockey: Juan Crawford Trainer: Ken Albu Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 15431-

Comment: A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-13; scored by 2½l in October with Back To Reality (runner-up) and M C Jackhammer (third) behind in a claimer; reunited with Juan Crawford who gets on well with him; plenty of appeal.

Mia And Me

Jockey: Amanda Vandermeersch Trainer: Sharon Ceccato Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 1720-

Comment: Three wins from six runs here; finished ahead of two of these rivals in a claimer when towards the rear at Woodbine five months ago; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Red Maple

Jockey: Alexis Sanchez Trainer: Roy Agostino Age/Wt: 7/8-7 F: 26548-

Comment: Finished last of eight (Mountaineer Park) in December in a claimer; record over this course and distance is three wins from 12 runs but not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Fort Erie in July; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Mobilizer

Jockey: Marklee Buchanan Trainer: Howard Keen Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 45445-

One More Ring

Jockey: O Moreno Trainer: Julie Mathes Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 25-877

Comment: Possible that there's no more in the locker and has struggled to factor since winning a claimer at Fort Erie last June; finished seventh, beaten a fair way at Mountaineer Park over 4½f (claimer) three weeks ago; makes limited appeal.

Big Time Louie

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: Roy Agostino Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 15186-

Comment: Held in sixth over 6f at Woodbine (claimer) in November; good C&D record (four wins) and better than this level in his pomp; should figure given his record when fresh.

Jack Beanstalk

Jockey: Christopher Husbands Trainer: Desmond Maynard Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 46668-

Comment: Recent form hardly the most inspiring and may not have any more improvement left; last of eight over 6f at Parx (claimer) in September; his best looks to be behind him and there are better alternatives here.
