Jmr Speedy Escape

Thenorthremembers

Jockey: Rafael Hernandez Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 9/8-11 F: -7346

Comment: Eight-time winner within the resume (from 5½f-1m½f) and smart performer at one stage; out of the frame (beaten 3½l in sixth) on first run for this trainer 28 days ago at Gulfstream Park in a claimer; one to be interested in if replicating the best of his form.

Stylish Gent

Jockey: Skye Chernetz Trainer: Devon Gittens Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 88226-

Comment: Successful six times from 34 career outings (5f-7f) but may have reached limits of his ability; out of the frame when sixth here over 6f (claiming optional claiming) in December; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and not hard to turn elsewhere.

Magic Power

Jockey: Eswan Flores Trainer: John Mattine Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 56841-

Comment: Seems to be improving based on last two runs; opened account at the sixth attempt when in front by 1½l in December in a maiden optional claimer; may find this tougher stepping up from maiden claiming level unlikely to trouble the principals.

Comment: Tenth of 12 at Gulfstream Park over 1m (maiden special weight) on first outing for new trainer in December; ran well in a stakes a year ago and this daughter of War Of Will looks the part on breeding; should not be far away given she should have learnt plenty from that experience and her pedigree offers room to progress.
