Verdict: DEFENDING ALBERT is hard to look beyond. He represents a powerful stable. Personal Creed and Falcon Quest could also have a role to play.

True Ricardo

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Samuel Calvario Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Sire's progeny often do well as sprinters; this son of Richard's Kid is running for the first time; would be a surprise to see this one figure.

Denizen

Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: Jon Newbold Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Been active in workouts; related to 1m winner Stonemont Reunion; should prove competitive with signs of encouragement in profile.

Defending Albert

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: W Calhoun Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Sire capable of getting smart offspring; trainer has enjoyed debutant winners at this course; every chance with signs of encouragement in profile.

Myturntodeal

Jockey: Jose Perez Trainer: Vonn Mallery Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 7098-

Comment: Yet to open his account after eight starts and recent form hardly the most inspiring; finished last of eight (sloppy track) in December (Delta Downs) in a maiden claimer; layoff to overcome; facing a tougher assignment than last time, makes limited appeal.

Blinknumissit

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Joaquin Garza Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: This son of Flat Out makes first appearance; this one is best watched, unless market signals suggest otherwise as yard doesn't have the finest record with newcomers.

Falcon Quest

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 6636-

Comment: Bumped at the start at Churchill Downs last June when beaten 13l (sixth of seven) in a maiden claimer; stepped up on his last two starts; returns from a layoff; poses a threat as finished third last April.

Deacon Jones

Comment: Winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at nine; not beaten too far when fifth here 387 days ago in a maiden special weight; been off the track a long time; makes limited appeal.

Eagle Vision

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Allen Dupuy Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 4/64737

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when seventh of eight in a maiden claimer 30 days ago; has found improvement of late; tame effort last time but third two starts back, albeit a fair way off the winner, in March; can make a bold bid.

Whiskey On Ice

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Sole debutant in the line up; stable more than capable of getting one ready first time out; hard to ignore as some good aspects to her profile and could be a speedy type on breeding.

Depths Of Dixie

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 6-000

Comment: This now her fifth attempt to get off the mark; tailed off in a maiden special weight at Sam Houston two months ago upped to 1m; makes limited appeal despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Mucho Vapor

Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: Steve Martin Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 72433

Comment: Has displayed improved form on last two starts; creditable third in a maiden claimer two weeks ago; likely to be a threat as recent performance was encouraging and her speed figure last time suggests she can handle the tag rise.

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: Edgar Mendoza Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 97

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Ronnie Cravens Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 6078

Comment: Comfortably beaten into eighth in a maiden claimer when dropped to 5½f four weeks ago; best she's managed so far is sixth from four career starts; in for a $20k tag so up in class ($7.5k last time); hard enough to fancy.

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Jerry Gourneau Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 247266

Comment: Long-term maiden (0-9); finished sixth, beaten 16l, here over 1m (maiden claimer) 15 days ago; entitled to respect despite defeat last time as ran well at Sam Houston three runs back and lower claiming tag suggests she may have less on her plate here.

Verdict: PRIVATE CONNECTION gets a firm vote. She makes her debut for a top stable, while Frosted Halo and I Love Mango's also merit consideration.

1	Up In The Blue Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: Jon Newbold Age/Wt: 2/8-8	SP
Comment: First career outing for this two-year-old daughter of Sky Flight; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise as trainer doesn't have the finest record with newcomers.
2	Louisiana Woman Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Danny Pish Age/Wt: 2/8-8	SP
Comment: Early foal; trainer can ready a debutant; her sire is a rich source of sprint winners; would be a surprise to see this one figure.
3	Helene's Power Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Danny Pish Age/Wt: 2/8-8	SP
Comment: Newcomers from this trainer are often capable of winning; definitely of interest as some good aspects to her profile and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.
4	Private Connection Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Todd Fincher Age/Wt: 2/8-8	SP
Comment: February foal; trainer capable of preparing a newcomer to win; respected as some good aspects to her profile.
5	Frosted Halo Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: J Caldwell Age/Wt: 2/8-8	SP
Comment: Trainer has a good record with newcomers here; early foal; can be in the mix with signs of encouragement in profile - form of her stable is an obvious plus.
6	Honor God Jockey: Tanner Fincher Trainer: Todd Fincher Age/Wt: 2/8-8	SP
Comment: Stable capable of preparing a newcomer to win; early foal; hard to ignore as has looked an intriguing prospect during trackwork.
7	Michiga Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Ronnie Cravens Age/Wt: 2/8-8	SP
Comment: Trainer not renowned for sending out winning newcomers; sire is a rich source of two-year-old winners; hard to fancy unless market points the other way as doesn't impress on workout history.
8	I Love Mango's Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 2/8-8	SP
Comment: Workout history suggests fitness may not be an issue; from respected yard; likely to be in contention given the sire has a good record with runners over this distance and the current stable form is another tick.

Comment: Failed to land a blow when fifth of seven at Louisiana Downs over 1m½f (claimer, sloppy track) last Sunday; achieved just the one win; claiming tag rises to $7.5k here; this looks a fair heat so one to tread carefully with.

Comment: Largely disappointing since successful in a maiden claimer at Louisiana Downs in July; failed to land a blow when sixth of seven in a claimer last month; she is the only mare here; eased in class with tag standing at $7.5k here; not hard to turn elsewhere.

Candy Arcade

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 41-136

Comment: Managed two wins in her last four outings; can be a player at this level; not disgraced when sixth of ten in a claimer at Oaklawn Park on first run for her current trainer last month; tag drops from $35k to $10k here; can figure.

Comment: Behind City Ghost when last last month dropped down to this trip in a claimer; course specialist (three wins from six) but slumped a bit since winning a claimer at Lone Star Park in July; could be an uphill struggle as this is a fairly competitive event.

Comment: She meets the required standard ability wise; not beaten that far in fifth (6l) in a claimer (muddy track, Evangeline Downs) last week; now down in class (in for $10k from $15k); she shouldn't be far away.

Marquette Warrior

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: H Ashford Jr Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 165-97

Comment: Not disgraced when seventh in a claimer last month; resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); notable jockey booking and stable going well a plus; should be on the premises.

Let Freedom Bling

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Jerry Gourneau Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 17-957

Comment: Close up behind Rumpus when seventh in an optional claimer last Friday; has gained three wins over C&D; now a lower claiming tag ($12.5k from $20k) so down in class; could be sharper for recent return to action and easy to see her making an impression.

Jockey: Richard Eramia Trainer: Kari Craddock Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 13-606

Comment: Scored by a slim margin in an allowance race three weeks ago dropped down to 6f at Evangeline Downs on debut for this trainer; from a top trainer; first attempt in claiming company; her jockey has an impressive record from low numbers over this C&D so she's worth a go.

Comment: Finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (6l) over 6f here (allowance optional claimer) 23 days ago; possesses winning form at this track; often been there or thereabouts lately; this line-up contains some strong opposition so she can be taken on.

Lone Tree

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Carlos Padilla Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4-3213

Comment: Recent runs have been consistent and has arguably shown improved form the last twice; comfortably beaten despite finishing third at Will Rogers Downs 48 days ago in a claimer; claiming value now drops to $5k; capable of going well despite defeat last time as he was successful two runs back and peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Too Intimidating

Jockey: Daniel Benavides Trainer: Ronald Kotara Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 33669

Comment: Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; patchy form recently; last of nine in a claimer a week ago (close behind Karanthos) on debut for this trainer; moves down to an easier grade (in for $6.3k); makes limited appeal.

Verdict: STAYED IN FOR HALF gets the vote. He is a multiple winner over this distance and ran with credit last time. Sweet River Baines, Campton and Luv To Win also have claims.

Cajun Warrior

Jockey: Simon Camacho Benitez Trainer: Stephanie Herreros Age/Wt: 5/8-5 F: 61472-

Comment: Not beaten too far when second in July in a claimer; has chalked up two wins from his last four; returns from an absence here; $10k claiming tag this time (up from $7.5k); may have to settle for supporting role as headgear must spark improvement.

Luv To Win

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 5-70561

Comment: Represents top stable and resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a ninth career win); successful by 2½l (muddy track) at Oaklawn Park three weeks ago in a claimer; poses a threat as despite being up in class he appears to be in good form and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Lewis Bere

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Greg Green Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 2-18115

Comment: Behind Sweet River Baines when finishing last over 5½f at Sunland Park (optional claimer) on his first start for this trainer 51 days ago; has achieved four wins from 11 career runs; may have to settle for supporting role as this looks a decent race.

Yacht Rock

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: Carlos Padilla Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 7/211

Comment: Attempts to land a hat-trick and resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fifth career win); scored narrowly in an allowance race at Sam Houston in March; others more likely despite that win last time.

Bandera Azteca

Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: Jerry Gourneau Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 64632

Comment: Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a 12th win); often been there or thereabouts lately; solid effort in defeat to finish runner-up after going off 11-1 in an optional claimer when dropped in distance last month.

Campton

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 2-1246

Super Brady

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Ike Green Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 70033

Sweet River Baines

Comment: Has achieved 12 wins from 57 career runs and better than this level in his prime; scored narrowly in an optional claimer at Sunland Park 51 days ago; tag unaltered from last time ($10k).

Stayed In For Half

Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: J Caldwell Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 4-4242

Comment: Went down by 4½l when second (Sam Houston) 51 days ago (sloppy track) in an optional claimer; has managed seven wins from 29 career runs; now eased in the grades (in for $10k); plenty of appeal as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field and lots of promise in his latest performance.

Immelmann

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Robertino Diodoro Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 9-6601

Comment: Won a claimer by just over 3l (Turf Paradise) last month on debut for this trainer; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; not hard to turn elsewhere despite that win last time.
