Chris Gattis claim has been pretty sharp in winning two of his last three, each on this oval, and the son of Mass Media could be the one in a pretty wide open test to kick off the sequence. Gelded chestnut has a nice turn of foot that he has parlayed into four wins on this oval, and the sophomore Florida-bred gets a nice post to save ground early near the rail. Barn 18% off the claim and Gomez should have this one in the second flight or so early on. |

Sweeping Victory |
4/1 |
Bay son of Orchard Park is not especially consistent, but the four-year-old can really run when he's on his game, and he must be included despite the outer post slot for this one. Javier Negrete trainee comes off a game win in getting up late last time and lands back with similar for a conditioner who is 11% with a winner last time out. Stalker has the tactical speed to be in the right spot early, and if he puts forth his best, he looms large under the guidance of Eddie Nunez. The bay has been very tough at this level recently. |

Prime Power boss from the barn of Fred Warren was just a head shy last time in with similar and makes a lot of sense in this route run. Six-year-old son of Tiger Ridge looks to get back on form after two fourth place showings prior to being second most recently, and he had a nice run this summer and fall with a trio of tallies and a second in a fine four race stretch. The Florida-bred could be getting back to fine form and looms a danger for sure for a 20% jockey/trainer combo with Monterrey in the silks. |

21-time winner is a six time winner on the Calder main oval and always gets a look with his natural speed and affinity to get to the winners' circle. Tom Schell charge drops in class after facing much better in advance of this and we like the post draw that puts him outside of the other main speed in the field, giving pilot Juan Delgado some options in the early going. The nine-year-old son of Outflanker has not been in very good form, but he has the back class and we'd feel better including this one at a price. |

Gray daughter of Shaniko ran into a tough top pair last time when third and will make her first run off the claim for Gatis in this one, who is 18% in that category. Kin to a pair of winners including one of the stakes variety, the juvenile filly showed improved tactical foot last time before being outrun late, but she lands in a weak spot here and we expect improvement from the win player on the barn change. Barn 25% with two-year-old contenders. |

5/1 |
Gray daughter of 13% debut sire Indy Wind has missed just one work in her last eight and could be ready first out of the box for a conditioner at a capable 10% first time out. Luis Duco pupil is the first out of this dam and is bred to run longer, so while this lass might peak later down the road, she lands in a most winnable spot for her debut and gets a long look, especially if she takes early money. Jose Caraballo takes the reins. |

Second timer took a lot of early money at first asking and failed to fire, but we will give her one more chance having one under her belt. Chestnut filly by solid young sire Corinthian gets a cozy rail draw in this murky second leg and does show a useful three-furlong blowout in preparation of this for conditioner Gilberto Zerpa, 18% with second time starters and a fine 24% at this meeting. the February foal gets the rail once again, but we expect a fine break and her potentially being the one to catch early on. Angel Moreno takes the call. |

Gray takes a big class drop off an unplaced effort in an allowance at Delta Downs in October after showing some early speed when likely needing the outing being his first in over seventeen months. Son of Easyfromthegitgo finished fourth in a maiden special weight in his one previous start at Fair Grounds and posted a four furlong work in 47 1/5 here since his last start for trainer Patricia West who wins with 29% of her runners second time off a layoff. Gelding may be fastest from the gate and be the one to catch with Jose Riquelme in the saddle. |

Chestnut earned top ranking on BRIS Early Pace Last Race when unplaced against better at Delta Downs last month when making his first start since being claimed by Corale Richards in August. Son of First Samurai finished third in two of his four previous starts at Fair Grounds and Richards wins with 13% of her runners second time off the claim. Colt has some early speed and can be forwardly placed from the start with Richard Eramia retaining the mount. |

Gelding has not been seen since earning top ranking on BRIS Speed Last Race when second against better at Louisiana Downs in September and is also first on Current Class. Trainer Scotty McNair wins with 19% of his runners that have not raced for 46-90 days and has won with 24% of his starters this year and son of Hard Spun can be stalking the early leaders under Roman Chapa. |

Five-year-old has not been seen since finishing a close second at Delaware Park in September and has a record of 10-2-6-1 over six furlongs. Trainer Thomas Clark has won with 17% of his runners since the beginning of the year and son of Leroidesanimaux has early speed and can be forwardly placed from the start but usually finds one or two better and may be a contender for minor honors. |

Blinkers are added to son of promising freshman sire Colonel John who comes off an unplaced effort in his debut at Keeneland in mid-October in a maiden special weight event. $200K purchase earlier this year is trained by Todd Pletcher who wins with 32% of his second time starters and with 33% dropping into a maiden claimer for the first time and colt can be the one to beat from a good post with Joe Rocco in the saddle. |

Half brother to two winners earned top ranking on BRIS Speed Last Race and Early Pace Last Race when second in his debut here in early November after setting the early fractions and is also first on Prime Power, Back Speed and Current and Average Class Last 3. Son of Badge of Silver is trained by Wesley Ward who wins with 24% of his runners second time out and with 24% of his starters overall in maiden claiming events and colt may be the one to catch here with Dylan Davis remaining aboard. |

Newcomer by 11% first out sire The Daddy cost $40K earlier this year and is a half brother to four winners. Colt's works include a five furlong move here in 1:00 4/5 earlier this month in preparation for his debut for trainer Tom Proctor who wins with 12% of his first time starters and bay is worth a look with Julien Leparoux seeing fit to ride. |

Son of Private Vow is also first on Prime Power, Back Speed and Current and Average Class Last 3 and is trained by Bret Calhoun who wins with 26% of his runners making their third start off a layoff. Gelding has tactical speed and can be near the front from the start with Jamie Theriot up. |

Trainer Merlin Marechal has won with 9% of his runners since the beginning of the year and son of Interest Rate can be in the early mix with Jose Riquelme riding. |
