Verdict: GOLDEN GRIT is a firm selection. He has won once over this C&D and can confirm placings with Bergheim and Rocky Rock It, who were behind him when last seen.

Bergheim

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Jayde Gelner Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 3-5132

Comment: Normally pretty consistent and he was in the money in a stakes two months ago; behind Golden Grit (sloppy track) 49 days ago when on the premises, finishing runner-up at 5-4 in an allowance optional claimer; he's an attractive contender as from low numbers over this C&D his jockey has an impressive record and the trainer is in rude health.

Raise The Bar

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 10-9

Comment: Last of nine at Oaklawn Park (sloppy track) 37 days ago in a stakes; lightly raced (this just his fourth race); claiming debut; hard to ignore if in the same form he showed when winning three starts back and down in class to claiming company.

Cheating Heart

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Dick Cappellucci Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 846221

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; got the job done by 4½l, breaking his duck at the sixth time of asking in a maiden special weight last month; first run in claiming company; jockey does well from inside draws here so warrants consideration.

Road Racer

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: H Ashford Jr Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 1-1

Comment: Lightly raced (this just his third race); unbeaten after two career runs; gained narrow success in a claimer last month; up in class (in for $50k here, $20k tag last time); steps up in grade so there are better alternatives here.

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 9l, sloppy track) 49 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; has displayed improved form on last two starts; is passed over.

Comment: Too good for Bergheim and Rocky Rock It 49 days ago (sloppy track) when a just under 4l winner in an allowance optional claimer; has chalked up two wins from his last three; leading claims.

Comment: Wasn't at her best last time out following some good runs; a winner over C&D; finished seventh, beaten a fair way at Sam Houston over 6f (stakes) in March - split Izatiz and Texas Red Bel; this is a step down in class but others are preferred.

Doublebarrelvinny

Bella's Girl

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: H Ashford Jr Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Shares a dam with Marfa Sky, a 5f winner; trainer does well here with debutants; not without hope.

Comment: Finished eighth, beaten a fair way in an allowance optional claimer (Evangeline Downs) 52 days ago upped to 1m; he meets the required standard ability wise and better than this level in his pomp; can give it a good shot with drop back in trip looking the right move and has proved he knows how to win.

Comment: Beaten ninth of ten over 5f here (allowance optional claimer) last week; useful at this level; tag has been dropped to $5k; ought to be competitive as shown he can win fairly recently and boasts the best speed figure posted by any of this field in the last 12 months.

Comment: Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; has chalked up two wins from his last four; finished last of six 50 days ago (muddy track) in a claimer; down in class now, dropping from a $6.3k tag; very difficult to fancy as has not been seen doing much trackwork recently.

Regal Terka

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 1-15118

Comment: Not far behind Mor Victory, the third, and Sunlit Song, the fourth, when beaten just over 3l in eighth last month in an allowance race; has chalked up four wins from his last six; has won at this track; looks likely to be involved as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and he can take this step up in class in his stride.

Comment: A winner of a stakes in March and has recorded plenty of wins at this level; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 8l) in a stakes (sloppy track) two weeks ago; ought to give it a shot as his rider is capable of making the most of a favourable draw.

Comment: Gained narrow success in an allowance optional claimer with Silver Assassin (fourth) and Supersecretweapon (sixth) behind two weeks ago; successful three times from 14 career runs and out to complete a hat-trick; prospects with trainer flying presently and he can cope with this step up in class.

Comment: Got the job done in an allowance race by three-quarters of a length (muddy track) when dropped in distance 50 days ago; knows how to win here with three course wins but has gained all his wins at a lower level; this demands more than last time so passed over.

Tx Code

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: W Calhoun Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 1-13125

Comment: On target three times in his last six outings; sent off 14-5 but could only finish fifth over 7½f here (allowance race) last month; looks likely to go well despite having more on his plate.

Coalcowboy

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Steve Martin Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 1271

Turn North

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 212311

Comment: Specialist here with four wins from eight visits and bids to pull off a hat-trick; landed a narrow success in an allowance race four weeks ago; the trainer is going well; more on his plate but has strong claims.

Verdict: STILETTOS is strongly fancied to come out on top. She can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front, while Typhoon Tessie looks the biggest threat.

Ruby Cantu

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Matt Hebert Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 1-54

Comment: Has won at this track; on target twice in her last four outings; respectable effort over 1m here (allowance optional claimer) five weeks ago (muddy track) - split Blue Heavenly and Wilburnsclassylady; not hard to turn elsewhere as this is a tougher test.

Blood Orange

Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: Tina Hurley Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 7911

Comment: On a hat-trick; has won here; had several of these behind (Sam Houston) in March in a stakes; doesn't have a good record when fresh; only limited appeal.

Sky Rocker

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: -12335

Comment: Beaten 28l when fifth of six (muddy track) last month in an allowance race; useful at this level and among the places in a stakes in March; should not be far away despite having more on her plate and she knows how to win.

Optimistic Cowgirl

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Eduardo Cruz Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 45-31

Comment: Scored narrowly in a stakes four months ago (Sam Houston) when four of these were in arrears; has scored over C&D; could be involved.

Blue Heavenly

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: Cesar Govea Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 353624

Comment: Running consistently and wins-runs record of 7-34; respectable effort in an allowance race, finished ahead of Cafezinho nine days ago; must be respected as recent display was promising and she can cope with this step up in class.

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: W Calhoun Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 110-1

Comment: Few miles on the clock with this her fifth race; came out on top by 4½l (muddy track) when dropped in distance five weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; up in class but has strong claims.

Cafezinho

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 187

Comment: Has gained all her wins at a lower level but a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-13; missed the frame (beaten 8l into seventh) in an allowance race dropped back in distance a week ago, behind Blue Heavenly; could go well if reproducing form of her win three starts back and recent run should have blown away any cobwebs.

Wilburnsclassylady

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Ronnie Cravens Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 4-546

Comment: Beaten 22l (sixth) over 1m here (allowance optional claimer, muddy track) behind two of these 37 days ago; largely disappointing since successful in a claimer at Remington Park in October and all her victories have been gained at a lower level; facing a tougher assignment than last time, unlikely to make any impact.

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 6-217

Comment: Suited by this C&D; made no impression, finishing seventh, despite being sent off favourite at Sam Houston in March in a stakes; she has won after a layoff in the past and ought to be in the mix.

Blushing Belle

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Sr Alan Love, Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 864329

Comment: Could not manage better than ninth last month (sloppy track) in a stakes; all her victories have been gained at a lower level and form has an up and down look to it; this looks a decent race so not taken to make a serious impact.

Sweet Karat Cake

Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: Alejandro Baldillez Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: P-2141

Comment: Gained a 2½l success at Sam Houston in April in an allowance race; has managed three wins from ten career runs but yet to win a race of this value; this represents a step up in class so makes little appeal.

Typhoon Tessie

Jockey: C J McMahon Trainer: W Calhoun Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 611

Comment: Narrow success in an allowance race upped to 1m 51 days ago; has won two of her three career starts and on a hat-trick after last win; this represents a step up in class but should prove competitive.
