Comment: Could not manage better than sixth here over 6½f (claimer) three weeks ago; grade looks suitable; class dropper as runs for a $5k tag here; holds major claims despite defeats on last two starts as he scored three runs back.

Comment: Finishing second was a good effort in an optional claimer at Sam Houston when dropped back to this distance (sloppy track) in March; wins-runs record of 7-29; drops to a $10k tag from $20k; could be hard to beat if confirming promise shown last time and he has won after a layoff previously.

10/3

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; not beaten too far when third of seven (sloppy track) last month in an allowance optional claimer; down in class now, dropping from a $18k tag; enters calculations as shown she can win fairly recently.

10/3

Comment: Track has proven suitable before; string of consistent efforts of late; respectable effort (beaten just over 2l) at Will Rogers Downs four weeks ago in a claimer; claiming tag drops to $10k (from $15k); if she can build on her latest effort then entitled to respect.

Comment: Produced a good effort to finish second here over 5½f (claimer) two weeks ago; has won here before; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; regularly been coming up a bit short lately so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Comment: Beaten 12l in fourth last month at Will Rogers Downs upped to 1m in an allowance race; this is her level and has won three times from 5f to 1m; the stable is going well; can make her presence felt if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

Comment: Not beaten that far in fourth (8l) over 1m½f at Parx (claimer) in January; produced several respectable runs lately; no longer appears to be improving; deeper waters here (in for $10k here, $5k tag last time); returns from a layoff; facing a testing assignment and others appeal more.
