Jester Sang

Jockey: Kevin Gomez Trainer: McLean Robertson Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 78-834

4/6

Comment: Has maintained his consistent level of form and shown recent signs of improvement; fair effort (beaten just under 3l) in a maiden claimer at Oaklawn Park (muddy track) 32 days ago; easy to see him making an impression if confirming promise shown last time.

Storm Wind

Jockey: Angel Rodriguez Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 3/8-9

Comment: Related to 6f winner Cloud In The Wind; trainer can ready one first time out; warrants respect with signs of encouragement in profile and the hot form of the stable is a bonus.

Reverse The Curse

Jockey: Jomar Torres Trainer: Kathleen DeMasi Age/Wt: 3/8-9

5/1

Comment: Stable well capable of preparing youngsters to win races on limited experience; has to be respected with signs of encouragement in profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Sense Of Wonder

Jockey: Julio Hernandez Trainer: Michael Zalalas Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 34

5/1

Comment: Well held in fourth having been favourite (sloppy track) three weeks ago (problems in the gate at the start) in a maiden special weight; a major contender as entitled to be a bit more streetwise this time and has shown he can be competitive fairly recently.
