Kentucky Gal

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 31-402

Comment: Finished ahead of four of these in an allowance optional claimer when on the premises, finishing runner-up at 4-1 upped to this trip last month; most recent trackwork a positive and prospects.

Comment: Has won here before; useful in this grade; split a number of these rivals when not beaten too far four weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; considered as she has worked well and her jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Esmeray

Jockey: Dorde Perovic Trainer: Manuel Badilla Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 1105-8

Comment: Finished last of eight on first run for her current trainer last month when she was behind several of these rivals in an allowance optional claimer; has proved to be something of a money spinner in Britain, winning four times from ten runs; she can make a bold bid as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Comment: Finished ninth, beaten 8l, here over 6½f (allowance optional claimer) in February; has struggled to factor since winning a novice stakes at Wetherby last June; steps into the unknown over new trip and hard to recommend.

Comment: Has found improvement of late; finished runner-up when 9-5 in a maiden claimer three weeks ago; now down in class (in for $20k from $32k); a leading player if building on promise shown last time.

Comment: Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at eight; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Los Alamitos (beaten 7l) in February in a maiden (mixed); easy enough to swerve.

Comment: Lightly raced (running for just the fourth time); wasn't beaten that far when fourth (beaten 2½l) over 1m here (maiden claimer) last June; claiming value now drops to $20k; returns from an absence here; capable of making an impact.

Comment: Bumped at the start finished just ahead of Mongolian Altai when not beaten too far three months ago in an optional claimer; this is his level and one-time useful operator; can make his presence felt if replicating most recent run and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Comment: Trainer can prepare one to win first time out; unconvincing workout history so probably best watched.

Spectacular Tiger

Jockey: Serafin Carmona Trainer: Andy Mathis Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 69

Comment: Tried in blinkers when beaten a long way three weeks ago (bobbled at the start) in a maiden claimer; now down in class (in for $8k from $50k); could have a say.

Sark

Jockey: Hugo Herrera Trainer: Gloria Haley Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 37456-

Comment: Not beaten too far when sixth at Pleasanton in a maiden claimer in December; winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at ten; returns from a layoff; could be telling that he is in for a lower tag so others more likely.

Far Over Loaded

Jockey: Alfredo Bautista Trainer: Felix Rondan Age/Wt: 3/7-13 F: 57-228

Comment: Was eighth of 12, beaten 17l, in a maiden special weight 22 days ago; shown recent signs of improvement; should not be far away as finished second last month and didn't have the best of luck last time.

Jaguar Jon

Jockey: William Iii Antongeorgi Trainer: Steven Miyadi Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to 5½f winner Homer Wells; Steven Miyadi debutants have a strong record at Santa Anita; shouldn't be too far away as some good aspects to his profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Verdict: READY TO POUNCE is a firm choice. He is bidding to land a second win over this C&D and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed.

Mega Moon

Jockey: Welfin Orantes Trainer: R Ellis Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 242-12

Comment: Ran well when beaten three-quarters of a length in an optional claimer on first run for this trainer last month; a course winner; producing consistent form; definitely of interest.

Saqeel

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: V Cerin Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 22-43

Comment: Generally consistent; third behind Ready To Pounce 28 days ago in a claimer; has to be taken seriously as his jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D and shown he can win fairly recently.

Jockey: Abel Lezcano Trainer: M Glatt Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 22-112

Ready To Pounce

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: John Sadler Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 65-21

Comment: Managed two wins in his last five outings; too good for Joint Venture and Saqeel in a claimer when getting the job done by three-quarters of a length last month; could improve for latest run (has won second time after a break before) and has to be taken seriously.

Comment: Successful four times from 36 career outings (5½f-1m); has won here previously; creditable effort when 28-1 second three weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; others are preferred as has been found wanting at this level before.
