Verdict: CREEK VALLEY could cash in if the leaders go too fast and can turn around placings with Justiceonemoretime from last time they met. Reiteration looks best of the rest.

Costly Pass

Jockey: Joseph Romero Trainer: Kevin Fletcher Age/Wt: 4/8-3 F: 04-767

Comment: Recent form hardly the most inspiring and low strike-rate of 1-14; finished last of seven over 5½f here (claimer, sloppy track) two weeks ago; hard enough to fancy.

Reiteration

Jockey: Fernando Cruz La De Trainer: Terry Phillips Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 37-627

Comment: Can be a player at this level; not disgraced when seventh 20 days ago in an allowance race; looks likely to go well if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

Covert Kid

Jockey: Luis Contreras Trainer: Randy Klopp Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 57-12

Comment: Lightly raced with this just his fifth appearance; ran well when beaten 1l, showing early speed to lead from a wide draw two months ago in a claimer; a likely player.

Justiceonemoretime

Comment: Ahead of Creek Valley and Slink when third (beaten just over 2l) upped to 1m½f 20 days ago in a claimer; record demonstrates how he often finds at least one too good so may be vulnerable.

Creek Valley

Jockey: Samuel Bermudez Trainer: Aaron West Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 13-55

Comment: Split Justiceonemoretime (third) and Slink (eighth) when failing to live up to market expectations upped to 1m½f three weeks ago in a claimer; he can be competitive at this level; has to be feared as return to this trip should be in his favour and has proved he knows how to win.

Specialty Act

Jockey: Mitchell Murrill Trainer: Randy Klopp Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 5778-7

Comment: Had three of these ahead of him in a claimer back down to this distance when beaten 6l in seventh two months ago; he meets the required standard ability wise but achieved only a sole win; tag unchanged at $15k.

Zip Lord

Jockey: Carlos Barbosa Trainer: Destin Heath Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 0

Comment: Beaten on his debut (5½f, here) at 25-1 two months ago; worth noting that runners from this trainer can show improved form on second start; shortlisted as he drops into a maiden claimer for the first time and trainer's runners often come on from their first start.

Millard A Maverick

Jockey: James Graham Trainer: Robert Dobbs Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 694-44

Comment: Attempts to score at the 11th time of asking; fair effort (beaten just over 5l) in a maiden claimer where just ahead of Cause Ima Boss last month; now down in class (in for $5k from $12.5k); latest effort was encouraging so by no means ruled out.

Rich Kingdom

Jockey: Joseph Romero Trainer: Donna Riley Age/Wt: 8/8-3 F: 0365

Comment: Out of the frame when fifth in an allowance optional claimer (sloppy track) two weeks ago; form has been a bit mixed lately and a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2022); up in class (in for $25k); easy enough to take on as now looks to be past his prime.

Verdict: TEXAS CYCLONE is a strong fancy. He can bounce back from a modest run when last seen and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed. Wings Of God, For Your Pleasure and Alpha Omega could also have a role to play.

Bravitas

Jockey: Danny Sheehy Trainer: Andrew Mckeever Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 8

Comment: Didn't offer much on his debut (Churchill Downs, 1m½f) despite blinkers at 50-1 two weeks ago; Constitution gets winners on the turf; down in class now, dropping from a $50k tag; could improve from his debut but will need to.

Concho's Prayer

Jockey: Andres Ulloa Trainer: Tim Eggleston Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 37

Ditto Cat

Jockey: Mitchell Murrill Trainer: Tim Eggleston Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Should have speed for this if taking after sire; Tim Eggleston debutants have a strong record at Horseshoe Indianapolis; related to Bayou Cat, winning form over 6f-1m½f; might be one for another day; market may guide with inexperience a possible drawback.

Silver Sterling

Jockey: Samuel Bermudez Trainer: Anthony Cunningham Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 42/036

Comment: Had three of these ahead of him in an allowance race, showing early speed to lead from a wide draw when beaten 7l in sixth three weeks ago; shown he can win fairly recently and should not be ruled out.

Mystery Impact

Jockey: Joseph Bealmear Trainer: Michael Lauer Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 8-0687

Comment: Generally modest form since claimer success at Horseshoe Indianapolis in August; finished seventh, beaten 11l by Neon Leon in a claimer (dropped back to 5½f) two weeks ago; this is competitive and has some questions to answer.

Three Two Run

Jockey: Cesar Orantes Trainer: Sacramento Chavez Age/Wt: 6/8-0 F: 1545-

Comment: Problems at the start (bumped) in November posting a respectable effort in an allowance race; returns from a layoff; hard to make a case for him with a few rivals in good form.

Hawkeye

Jockey: Alberto Burgos Trainer: John Haran Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 6222-1

Comment: Landed a narrow success in a claimer (sloppy track) two weeks ago; up in class to allowance company.

Verdict: FACE THE FUTURE is top of the list. He sets the form standard after coming home in front last time. Classic Express is an interesting candidate.

Indocumentado

Jockey: Javier Padron Barcenas Trainer: Luis Jurado Age/Wt: 9/8-10 F: 8-46

Comment: Split a number of these rivals over 1m here (allowance optional claimer) when beaten 4½l in sixth 20 days ago; infrequent winner; this looks a decent race so makes limited appeal.

Jockey: Fernando Cruz La De Trainer: Daniel Simpson Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 1-7501

Comment: Got home in front by a head (sloppy track) upped to 1m 34 days ago in an allowance race; has chalked up two wins from his last five; strong claims.

Backyard Justice

Jockey: Andres Ulloa Trainer: Anthony Granitz Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 1270-

Comment: Winning form over C&D; beaten a fair way when tenth in an allowance race (behind Sargent Hulka) in November; returns from a break here; might have a say.

Tour The Moon

Jockey: Samuel Bermudez Trainer: Antonio Duran Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 9-473

Air Marshal

Jockey: Arcelio Flaco Trainer: Jose Cazares Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 862-34

Comment: Solid run when fourth three weeks ago splitting Silent Sonata, Indocumentado and Sargent Hulka (bumped at the start) in an allowance optional claimer; knocking at the door recently; facing a testing assignment and others more persuasive.

Classic Express

Jockey: Santo Sanjur Trainer: Genaro Garcia Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 515-

Comment: Successful twice in his last six starts; has scored over C&D; beaten 20l in an allowance race when separating a number of reopposing rivals in October; returns from an absence here; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so prospects.

Silent Sonata

Jockey: Joseph Romero Trainer: Anthony Granitz Age/Wt: 7/8-3 F: -47622

Comment: Has won at this track; winner of five races from 6f to 1m; bumped at the start in an allowance optional claimer when on the premises, finishing second with three of these in behind three weeks ago; looks likely to be involved.

Loony

Jockey: Alberto Burgos Trainer: Michael Lauer Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 677-76

Comment: Split a number of these rivals in an allowance race when beaten 12l (sixth of nine) last month upped to 7½f; this looks a fair heat so others more persuasive.

Sargent Hulka

Jockey: Luis Contreras Trainer: Jay Holden Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 09879

Comment: Suited by this C&D; not won for some time now; last of nine here over 1m (allowance optional claimer) when behind three of these three weeks ago; others appeal more given this looks a decent race.
