Verdict: PARADISE CITY has acquitted herself well at this distance in the past and is hard to ignore if forgiven a modest most recent effort. Ensorcell and Kinzie Queen should also be in the hunt.

Fearless Lady

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: R Moquett Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 336-1

Comment: Has found improvement of late; opened account at the fifth time of asking over 1m here (maiden claimer, muddy track) three months ago; claiming tag rises to $200k here; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as this step up from a maiden claimer looks tougher.

Seraphia

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 338-41

Comment: Stepped up on her last two starts; got home in front by a nose last month when registering her first success at the fifth time of asking in a maiden special weight; first run in a claimer; capable of making an impact.

Spankerboom

Jockey: Emmanuel Esquivel Trainer: John Ortiz Age/Wt: 3/8-3 F: 8659

Comment: Struggled a bit since winning a maiden special weight at Churchill Downs last June; failed to land a blow when ninth of ten (dropped back to 6f) last month in a stakes; others are preferred despite dropping in class.

Ensorcell

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; fair effort in an allowance optional claimer 41 days ago; knows how to win so likely to be involved.

Kinzie Queen

Jockey: Francisco Arrieta Trainer: Greg Compton Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5-2325

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten a fair way in a Grade 2 last month; in good form prior to backwards step last time out; the Greg Compton outfit is running hot currently; dropped in grade to claiming level so has to be considered.

Paradise City

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: S Joseph Jr Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-215

Comment: Could not manage better than fifth last month (Gulfstream Park) in a Grade 2; on target twice in her last six outings; hit the bar in a stakes New Year's Eve; arguably the one to beat.

Verdict: NIP IT IN THE BUD is a strong fancy. She is expected to confirm placings after she got the better of Rockitretta, A Vision Of Hope and Presleys Turn when last seen and is arguably the pick of these based on most recent form.

Presleys Turn

Jockey: Kelsi Harr Trainer: Tim Dixon Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: -366

Comment: Still winless and defeats stacking up (nine on the bounce); split a number of these rivals here over 5½f (maiden claimer) when sixth beaten 4½l two weeks ago.

Charmit

Comment: Would be a surprise to see this one figure as this doesn't look straightforward against rivals with experience.

Who Lu

Jockey: Calvin Borel Trainer: Renay Borel Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 9-848

Comment: Beaten a long way here over 1m (maiden claimer, stumbled at the start) last month; still looking to open her account after seven runs; easy enough to swerve.

Rockitretta

Jockey: Abel Cedillo Trainer: Terry Brennan Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 4

Avalon Girl

Comment: Beaten 23l into sixth in a maiden claimer in February upped to 1m½f; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $16k); shown she can be competitive fairly recently and should go close.

Amazing Success

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Dan Ward Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 15-148

Comment: Could not land a telling blow when eighth despite odds of 14-5 last month in a claimer; successful six times from 19 career runs; $15k claiming tag this time (up from $12.5k); he should go close as his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

Allo Enry

Jockey: Tyler Bacon Trainer: Timothy Martin Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 512

Comment: Has an impressive record over course and distance (three wins from 19 runs) and smart performer at one stage; gave good account to finish runner-up in a claimer when ahead of Holding Pattern and Choctaw Zip last month; likely to be involved as his speed figure last time suggests he can handle this field.

Blame J D

Jockey: Samuel Jr Camacho Trainer: Norman McKnight Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 07037

Comment: Was held in seventh (muddy track) three weeks ago when separating a number of reopposing rivals in a claimer; has a good record at this venue, including four course-and-distance wins and performed at a higher level than this in his peak; likely player as he finished third last month.

Jockey: Keith Asmussen Trainer: Norman McKnight Age/Wt: 7/8-5 F: 24-23

Comment: One-time useful operator and consistent performer; far from disgraced (beaten just over 5l) 20 days ago in a stakes allowance; warrants consideration with drop in class a positive and there was plenty to like about her latest performance.

Verdict: FAVORITE OUTLAW is hard to look beyond. He has winning form in his record and is proven at the trip, while Therideofalifetime and Espionage must be respected.

I Got No Munny

Jockey: Keith Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 8/8-6 F: 62-83

Comment: Fair effort when three-quarters of a length third to Dazzlemesilver two months ago in a claimer; claiming tag now upped from $16k; not ruled out as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively and his latest run was promising.

Algebra

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Ike Green Age/Wt: 8/8-6 F: 32-600

Comment: Finished 11th of 12 in a starter allowance claiming three weeks ago; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a 12th career win) but patchy form recently; claiming tag rises from $12.5k last time; this is competitive and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Circle Back Jack

Jockey: Alberto Pusac Trainer: Timothy Martin Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 615-80

Comment: Finished last of ten in a claimer on his first start for this trainer last month; brings winning C&D form to the table; drops to a $20k tag from $25k; now looks to be past his prime and unlikely to trouble the principals.

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 6l) in an allowance race 48 days ago; has won over C&D; managed three wins in his last seven outings; this looks a decent race so not hard to turn elsewhere.

Comment: His tally of course-and-distance wins stands at five; finished fourth 20 days ago albeit only beaten 3l in a claiming starter allowance on debut for this trainer; should figure.

Dazzlemesilver

Comment: Has a C&D record of three wins from four starts and cut above this level at his peak; not disgraced when third at Will Rogers Downs three weeks ago in a starter allowance; hard to ignore.

Fire Bryan

Jockey: Tyler Bacon Trainer: Timothy Martin Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 4-9463

Comment: Was on the premises (finished third of ten) 29 days ago in a claimer; a winner on three occasions from 6f to 1m½f; claiming tag now upped from $10k; he should go close.

Bellamys Roan

Jockey: Cesar Perez Trainer: Ronald Westermann Age/Wt: 7/7-10 F: -0690

Comment: A while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023) and been out of sorts of late; last of 11 in an allowance optional claimer 27 days ago upped to 1m½f; hard to make a case as best days now look to behind him.

Comment: Produced a good effort to finish second upped to this distance where just ahead of Deflater last month in a claimer; normally pretty consistent; claiming tag rises to $12.5k here; jockey booking is a positive; warrants respect.

Home Run Trick

Jockey: Francisco Arrieta Trainer: Terry Brennan Age/Wt: 10/8-6 F: 4-486

Comment: Last of six four weeks ago in a claimer; his tally of course-and-distance wins stands at three but possible that there's no more in the locker; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and one to tread carefully with.

Mo Rum

Jockey: Fernando Jara Trainer: Lindsay Schultz Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 7-61037

Comment: Found life tough when 13l back in seventh in a claimer last Friday; has winning form at this track; useful in this grade; now down in class (in for $12.5k from $25k); has to be feared as shown he can get his head in front.

Flashy Lass

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 5/8-5 F: 311-77

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 8l in seventh) here over 1m½f (allowance optional claimer) last month; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 4-16; faces a tougher assignment this time so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Rose Palace

Jockey: Francisco Arrieta Trainer: Tammy Hornsby Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 1-4211
