8/1 |
Sneaky win contender from the 28% barn of Marcus Vitali has a nice turn of foot and might be moving best in the lane as an upset pick in the field. Gelded son of Sweet Return is a fine 3-for-6 here, and 0-for-12 elsewhere, and he looks to be an overlay in the field after dealing with a yielding course last time, something he doesn't shine upon. Bullet work in tow, jockey/trainer 33% last 60 days. |

Consistent sort from the barn of Mills was a big second late last out on this course and slight improvement could vault this one to the win under Julio Felix. Four-year-old gelding has very good tactical speed and has shown an affinity for this surface in finishing in the top three in four of seven local tries, for a conditioner who is low percentage but could pop at a price on occasion. Prime Power 3rd will be doing his best work in early stretch in getting the jump on the closers. |

Five-year-old son of Peace Rules comes off a solid second on a yielding lawn here most recently when leading to the lane and staying on well thereafter while clear in second. Chestnut Florida-bred is a dual winner on this oval who is a solid fit for the level, and he might get a nice trip stalking or pressing the pace from this slot under Hugo Sanchez. Logical contender will be well placed turning for home in this field. |

Prime Power second isn't the most consistent runner in the field but is very capable with his best, and he figures to be a nice price in this spot. Anthony Margotta trainee has run fair from a pair of tries on this lawn and lands in a most wide open field today for a 10% turf conditioner. The son of Spanish Steps has early foot and might be in second or third early on today with aim turning for home. We'd use this one in a very tough handicapping puzzle. |

Gelded son of Indian Express comes off a fine second going a mile at Gulfstream when eight clear of third, and the cut back in trip could be the key for this one as he goes first off the claim for Quiroz, 23% in that category. Florida-bred five-year-old is a 3-time winner on this main oval with three additional placings, and he should be tons fit after his last. Speedy type will likely be in the second flight early, and we'll land here on the route to sprint angle. |

Speedball led until very late before finishing second at this level off the claim and looms large in this one for Tom Schell, 18% second time off the claim. Six-year-old gelding by Bandini has finished first or second in five of eight outings at Calder and clearly has the pace to be a major player in the group third time out since September. Gomez has the assignment and will be sending this one from the opening bell. Must use. |

Late running son of Officer might have the best turn of foot in the field and will benefit greatly if a fast and contested pace ensues, which is entirely possible. Juan Rodriguez charge made a big run en route to victory in advance of this here and could be in good form going forward as a consistent type with 14 top two finishes from 24 lifetime tries. We'd include the closer in another tough heat. |

Prime Power 3rd has a lot of pace and drew inside of the likely swiftest in the field, but if the four-year-old colt wins the break and clears he could be very dangerous at a number. Bay colt will go first off the claim for Marcos Fernandez and we expec5t him to keep the same running style in coming over from Gulf in his local debut. We loved the swift :48 flat drill here in preparation of this one and and was a winner in his lone prior run at the trip. |

3/1 |
Daughter of world's leading turf sire Galileo is first on BRIS Prime Power and Current and Average Class Last 3 and was last seen when closing to finish fourth in the Cardinal Handicap at Churchill in November after being further back in the field than she usually is. Five-year-old has won two of her six starts since joining the barn of Larry Jones who wins with 24% of his runners that have not raced for 46-90 days and who has won with 30% of his starters at this meet. Mare worked five furlongs in 1:01 4/5 here five days ago and can be stalking the early leaders with good turf rider James Graham in the saddle. |

Improving filly has not been seen since leading all the way to win the Pago Hop Stakes over a mile here in late November and now has a record of 9-3-0-1 lifetime on grass. Trainer Neil Pessin wins with 13% of his runners in non-graded stakes and with 11% of his starters that have not raced for 46-90 days. Daughter of Mizzen Mast drew a wide post but with early speed can be forwardly placed early and must be respected with Rosie Napravnik remaining aboard. |

Stablemate of the top selection is first on BRIS Back Speed and has not been seen since finishing unplaced in a Grade Three event at Monmouth in July. Daughter of 16% grass sire English Channel has been working well in preparation for her first start for Jones who wins with 28% of his runners that have not raced for 90 days or more and who has won with 30% of his starters at this meet. Mare has some early speed and can be in good position from the start with Kerwin Clark riding. |

Dark bay earned top ranking on BRIS Speed Last Race when closing to finish second in a stakes here in December in her first start after a short break and now has a record of 2-1-1-0 on the Fair Grounds turf course. Daughter of Bluegrass Cat is from the barn of Ronny Werner who wins with 14% of his runners on grass and who has won with 10% of his starters at this meet and mare can be a contender for a share with Mark Guidry retaining the mount. |

Looks for her fourth win in a row in her first start since being moved into the barn of trainer Allen Milligan and she exits a nice effort last out while facing optional claiming competition at Remington in which she took the lead early and finished well late to claim the victory by 1 1/4 lengths. A repeat of the BRIS Speed rating she posted in that effort will make her a threat in this spot and she tops the field in BRIS Prime Power by over three points in addition to possessing the best BRIS Class rating. Milligan wins with 13% of his runners making their first start out of his barn and with 18% of his runners next out after winning their start prior. |

Returns from the layoff today looking for her third win in a row after having not started since the end of November when she put in a nice effort while facing allowance competition at Fair Grounds in which she stalked the pace early and finished well late to claim the victory by a nose. Trainer Steve Asmussen wins with 21% of his runners returning from layoffs between 46 and 90 days and with an equal percentage of his runners shipping to another circuit. In addition, he wins with 22% of his runners next out after winning their start prior and he will have Ricardo Santana Jr. in the irons who wins 23% of the sprints he has a mount in. |

Last started back in November when she put in a nice effort while facing allowance/optional claiming competition at Churchill in which she stalked the pace early but lacked the needed kick late and crossed the wire in second, beaten by 2 3/4 lengths. The filly has run well here in the past and trainer Doug Anderson wins with 23% of his runners returning from layoffs between 46 and 90 days. In addition, he wins with 15% of his runners shipping to another circuit and he will have Channing Hill in the irons who wins 14% of the sprints he has a mount in. |

Exits a respectable effort last out while facing allowance/optional claiming competition at Fair Grounds in which he attempted to rally from off the pace but lacked the needed kick late and crossed the wire in fourth, beaten by 2 1/4 lengths. Trainer Tim Glyshaw wins with 19% of his runners shipping to another circuit and 17% of the allowance races he has a runner in. Calvin Borel gets the call. |

Son of promising young sire Into Mischief drew off impressively to break his maiden over statebred opponents in his latest when leading all the way over five furlongs from a wide post while earning top ranking on BRIS Speed Last Race and Early and Late Pace Last Race. Dark bay posted a five furlong work in 1:00 4/5 here six days ago for trainer Mike Maker who wins with 20% of his runners going a route for the first time and who has won with 19% of his starters at this meet. Colt can be on the lead early and be tough to catch with Rosie Napravnik retaining the mount. |

$450K yearling purchase by Empire Maker is out of Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Caressing and is unbeaten in two lifetime starts, most recently when scoring by three and a half lengths at this distance here in late December. Three-year-old is first on BRIS Current and Average Class Last 3 and is trained by Steve Asmussen who wins with 22% of his runners that won their last start and bay can be running late with Shaun Bridgmohan in the saddle. |

Three-year-old comes off a nice win in the six furlong Sugar Bowl Stakes here in December when running from just off the early pace in his third career outing. Son of Istan is from the barn of Larry Jones who wins with 26% of his runners in graded stakes and with 17% going a route for the first time and colt can be stalking the early leaders with Kerwin Clark remaining aboard. |
