The Closer

Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 52

Innate

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Philip Antonacci Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 24/

Comment: Fourth beaten 7l in a stakes (Belmont At The Big A) on his debut for this trainer upped to 1m½f in 2023; beaten on his sole start in Ireland; not seen for some time now; deserves respect with lower class a definite positive and he's shown signs of promise here and there.

Irrelevant

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Joe Sharp Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Stable can prepare one to win first time out; related to Know It All Audrey (winner from 7f up to 1m1f); faces fairly tall order so the betting may be the best guide.

Beer Run

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Wesley Ward Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 32-3

Comment: Represents top trainer and has been consistent of late; third at Keeneland when 6-4 in April in a maiden special weight; latest effort was encouraging so must be considered.

Dontworryboutnothn

Jockey: Victor Espinoza Trainer: Wesley Ward Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: -4

Comment: Favourite but out of the money on his debut (Keeneland, 6f) at 7-5 three months ago; sire gets turf winners; represents a powerful trainer; should give it a bold bid as shown signs of ability in his exercise and market vibes last time suggest he is capable of better.

Comment: Not beaten far when runner-up at Belmont At The Big A last month in a maiden special weight; signs of improvement on last two runs but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 14; been struggling to get his head in front recently so easy to oppose.

Miles And Miles

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 2-1642

Comment: Last of two in May (Belmont At The Big A) in a claimer; from a top trainer; now eased in the grades (in for $25k); stable is ticking along nicely; should go close as pleasing in workout 11 days ago and shown he can get his head in front.

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: David Donk Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 1-16545

Comment: Not beaten that far in fifth (6l) in an optional claimer (muddy track, Belmont At The Big A) two months ago; slumped a bit since winning an optional claimer at Aqueduct in January; easy to oppose as in this instance the class drop is a red flag.

Hello Beauty

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: J Sisterson Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 6433

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; close up third at Churchill Downs over 1m (maiden special weight) last month; she is the only filly in this; not dismissed if building on last performance and jockey does well from inner gates here.

Comment: Seems to be improving based on last two runs; came out on top by just under 3l, breaking her duck at the ninth time of asking at Belmont At The Big A 20 days ago in a maiden claimer; ought to give it a shot as the lower claiming tag shouldn't put you off given her effort last time.

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Fernando Abreu Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 33613

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 7l, finishing third of five at Belmont At The Big A on her debut for this trainer last month in an optional claimer; has taken a step forward the last twice; in for a $35k tag so down in class ($50k last time); makes limited appeal.

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Ilkay Kantarmaci Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 613-87

Comment: Finished behind Higher Force in February (muddy track) at Aqueduct when last of seven upped to 1m in an optional claimer; returns from a layoff; now down in class (in for $35k from $50k); warrants respect if replicating the best of her form.

Comment: Has raised her game the last twice; registered first success at the fifth time of asking when landing a maiden claimer over this distance by just over 1l (muddy track) at Delaware Park 47 days ago; claiming tag now upped to $35k; stepping out of a maiden claimer and this looks tougher so not hard to turn elsewhere.

Systemic Change

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 441355

Comment: Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a seventh win); fifth, not beaten that far (20-1) in a starter allowance at Churchill Downs five weeks ago, behind two of these; warrants respect.

Alternate Reality

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Wayne Potts Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 12123

Comment: Normally pretty consistent; on target twice in his last five outings; gave it a good shot when a close third in an allowance optional claimer (sloppy track) last month on debut for this trainer.

Chelonian

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Michelle Giangiulio Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 15711

Comment: Scored by a slim margin in a claimer (Belmont At The Big A) two months ago; seeking a hat-trick today and admirable career strike-rate (ten from 36 to date); should not be far away.

Gilmore

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Joe Sharp Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 9-73212

Comment: Has won here before; missed out by 1l in a starter allowance when ahead of a couple of these at Churchill Downs 35 days ago; must be high on list.

My Noble Knight

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Thomas Amoss Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 1-4114

Comment: Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a seventh win); split Gilmore and Systemic Change when fourth last month at Churchill Downs in a starter allowance; the yard has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; deserves respect.

Verdict: MOMMY'S TURN has an obvious shout. She was behind Trail Of Gold last time but can now turn that form around and has been a winner over the trip.

Blossoming Erudite

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Carlos David Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 473101

Comment: Defied a big price (18-1, dropped to 6f) at Belmont At The Big A last month in an allowance race; admirable career strike-rate (three from ten to date) but wins have come at a lower level; facing a tougher assignment than last time, she can be taken on.

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: John Kimmel Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 054-43

Comment: A short head third to the reopposing Trail Of Gold in an allowance race at Belmont At The Big A when only just held last month; has largely been consistent of late; with more on her plate is passed over.

She's Our Tiz

Comment: Recent form has a decent look to it; favourite but came up short in an allowance race (Belmont At The Big A) upped to this trip two months ago with two of these rivals behind; facing a tougher assignment than last time, looks opposable.
