Southeastern

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Trainer excels with debutants here; should go close as yard is operating at a good strike-rate recently and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Curtain Call

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 2/8-7

King Peanut

Jockey: Rafael Bejarano Trainer: Michael Leahy Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 47436

Comment: Finished just behind Western Command when sixth in a claimer (Oaklawn Park, sloppy track) last month; hasn't won for a while; in for a $16k tag here, up from $12.5k last time; probably unlikely to trouble the principals with a number of his rivals in good nick.

Verdict: ASKARI is a firm choice. He has shown he can get his head in front and must have every chance over a distance that suits. Curlin's Gesture, Two Beers By Ten and Pineland should also be on the premises.

Comment: Beaten seventh of nine here over 1m1f (allowance race) three weeks ago; he can be competitive at this level; shown he can win fairly recently and has strong claims.

Comment: Failed to land a blow when sixth of seven in January at Turfway Park in an allowance optional claimer; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); returns from a break today; warrants respect as pleasing in workout a week ago and should benefit from return to this trip.

Comment: Shown recent signs of improvement; narrow winner of a maiden claimer when off the mark on his first start for this trainer at Horseshoe Indianapolis five weeks ago; may find this tougher stepping up from maiden claiming level not hard to turn elsewhere.
