Four-year-old was claimed in her latest by Tom Amoss when second at this level and distance despite being bumped hard at the break in her first start since breaking her maiden in her debut at Evangeline Downs in August. Amoss wins with 33% of his runners first time off the claim and has won with 27% of his starters at this meet and daughter of Good And Tough showed tactical speed in her first outing and can be in good position from the start under Rosie Napravnik who won with 26% of her mounts for the barn in the last two months. |

Gray is first on BRIS Back Speed and comes off an unplaced finish when never really involved from a wide post but has won one of her six lifetime starts. Daughter of Ide is trained by Frank Leggio who wins with 17% of his runners in a claiming event for the first time and has won with 25% of his starters at this meet and four-year-old may show more here running from off the pace with James Graham remaining aboard. |

Gelding is first on BRIS Back Speed and has not been seen since finishing a close second in a maiden claiming event over a mile and a sixteenth at Woodbine in October in his fourth try on turf. Son of Johannesburg has been working well for trainer Malcolm Pierce who wins with 11% of his runners that have not raced for 90 days or more and who won with two of his first nine starters at this meet. Bay has some early speed and can be in good striking position from the start under Rosie Napravnik who won with one of her last two rides for the barn. |

Four-year-old will make his turf debut and was last seen when narrowly defeated on the main track here in late December in his first start since May.

Newcomer by 14% grass sire Lemon Drop Kid is out of a stakes placed mare who has produced one winner on turf and will debut for trainer John Good who wins with 14% of his first time starters. $75K two-year-old purchase has been working steadily for Good who wins with 11% of his starters on turf and three-year-old may be ready for a good effort at first asking under Florent Geroux. |

Returned from the layoff here last out with a very nice effort while facing $30,000 maidens in which he stalked the pace early and finished well late to claim the victory by 2 1/4 lengths. The colt posted a Last Race BRIS Speed rating in that effort that stands out in this spot and a repeat of that performance would make him tough to beat in this spot. Trainer Scott Becker wins with 26% of his runners first off the claim and 17% of the time with runners next out after breaking their maiden in the start prior. Christopher Emigh gets the call and he has combined with the conditioner for a 25% win rate over the last 60 days. |

Returned from the layoff here last out with a solid effort while facing allowance competition in which he stalked the pace early before fading to cross the wire in second, beaten by 2 1/2 lengths. A repeat of the BRIS Speed rating he posted in that effort will make him a threat in this spot and he is capable of better in his second start back. Trainer McLean Robertson wins with 23% of his runners making their second start off the layoff and 22% of the allowance races he has a runner in. Alex Canchari gets the call and he wins 14% of the sprints he has a mount in. |

Has run respectably in both career starts thus far which includes a nice maiden score on the synthetic at Golden Gate and a decent effort last out while facing allowance/optional claiming competition at Santa Anita in which he took the lead out of the gate before fading late to cross the wire in fourth, beaten by 5 1/4 lengths. A repeat of that performance would make him a contender in this spot and he tops the field in BRIS Prime Power in addition to possessing the best BRIS Class rating. Trainer Jeff Bonde wins with 16% of his runners shipping to another circuit and he will have Ken Tohill in the irons who wins 17% of the sprints he has a mount in. |

Daughter of excellent turf sprint sire Speightstown has not been seen since finishing third on the main track here in late November while earning top ranking on BRIS Late Pace Last Race and owns a record of 6-2-0-2 on turf. Four-year-old posted a four furlong work in 48 seconds flat here four days ago for trainer Mike Maker who wins with 21% of his runners that have not raced for 46-90 days and with 21% switching from dirt to turf. Chestnut can be along late under Rosie Napravnik who has won with 25% of her rides for the barn in the last 60 days. |

BRIS Prime Power selection will make her first start on turf and earned top ranking on Speed Last Race when second on the main track here early this month after setting the early fractions in her first start since June. Daughter of Indian Charlie will make her second start for trainer David Carroll who wins with 18% of his runners second time off a layoff and who has won with two of his eleven starters at this meet. Filly may be amongst the fastest early with Leandro Goncalves retaining the mount. |

Dark bay earned top ranking on BRIS Early Pace Last Race when finishing second here at this level and distance in mid-December when making her second start after a short break and now has a record of 3-1-2-0 sprinting on turf. Daughter of Grand Slam is also first on Current Class and is trained by Grant Forster who wins with 17% of his runners third time off a layoff and who has saddled two winners from nine starters at this meet.

Is a perfect two for two here over the course of her career and she posted triple digit BRIS Speed ratings on each occasion. The mare returned from the layoff here last out with a very nice performance while facing allowance/optional claiming competition in which she stalked the pace early and finished well late to claim the victory by 1 3/4 lengths while posting a 103. A repeat of that number would make her tough to beat here and she may be capable of better in her second start back. Trainer Albert Stall wins with 28% of his runners next out after winning their start prior and an equal percentage of the non-graded stakes races he has a runner in. The bay tops the field in BRIS Prime Power. |

Visited the winner's circle in three of her last four starts and will be making her first start since back in November when she put in a nice effort while facing stakes competition at Churchill in which she pressed the pace early and finished well late to claim the victory by 4 1/4 lengths. If she returns from the layoff ready to roll, she will be a major threat in this spot and trainer Brad Cox wins with 26% of his runners returning from layoffs between 46 and 90 days. In addition, he wins 27% of the non-graded stakes races he has a runner in. Israel Ocampo gets the call and he has combined with the conditioner for a 27% win rate over the last 60 days. |

Has run well here in the past and will be a threat in this spot if she returns from the layoff ready to roll after having not started since back in May when she put in a nice effort in the Winning Colors S. (G2) at Churchill in which she vied for the lead early and held on late to claim the victory by three parts of a length. The bay has been working well for her return and trainer Bret Calhoun wins with 23% of his runners returning from layoffs longer than 90 days. In addition, he wins 22% of the non-graded stakes races he has a runner in and he will have Miguel Mena in the irons who he has combined with for a 29% win rate over the last 60 days. |

Has yet to finish off the board in five starts here prior which includes a couple of trips to the winner's circle. The gray may appreciate a return to the dirt and to sprinting today after putting in a dull effort last out while facing stakes competition on the synthetic at Turfway in which she took the lead out of the gate before tiring badly to cross the wire a well beaten ninth. This may have served as a nice stamina builder and could have her sitting on a big effort today. Trainer Philip Sims wins with 15% of his runners shipping to another circuit and an equal percentage of the non-graded stakes races he has a runner in. |
