Heart's Compass

Jockey: Denis Araujo Trainer: Christopher Keller Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 06-606

Comment: Recent form is unremarkable but has shown some ability, knocking on the door on occasions; not disgraced when sixth last month (Belterra Park) in a maiden special weight; warrants respect.

Lipstick And Rouge

Jockey: Gerald Almodovar Trainer: Corby Caiazzo Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 2

Comment: Just held on her debut in course maiden special weight over 6½f at 11-2 21 days ago; can make her presence felt if reproducing initial effort.

Comment: Yet to manage better than fifth in her four races; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 7l, sloppy track) last week in a maiden special weight; steps into the unknown over new trip and hard to see her doing much.

Comment: Four-race maiden though does have a second place to her name; finished just behind Lipstick And Rouge when third 21 days ago on debut outing for new trainer in a maiden special weight; likely to be thereabouts.

Comment: Still winless and defeats stacking up (11 on the bounce); fifth of seven beaten 16l three weeks ago when behind two of these in a maiden special weight; Jhorma Cespedes a notable jockey booking; not hard to turn elsewhere with a few rivals in good form.

Jockey: Javier Rivera Trainer: Keturah Letts Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 541037

Lost Weekend

Jockey: Maximo Chilo Trainer: Osborne Smith Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 49-878

Comment: Possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability and not really built on success in a claimer in October at Charles Town; behind Thank Ya Pete in a claimer when dropped down to this trip last month; his best looks to be behind him and looks an unlikely winner.

Logstradamus

Jockey: Grant Whitacre Trainer: Elizabeth Meehan Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 524226

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when sixth of eight last month in an allowance race; although no show last time out, he had been running consistently well prior to that and useful in this grade; he has won after a layoff in the past and warrants respect.

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: Angelo Jackson Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 41084

Comment: A promoted fourth, finished fifth, in a claimer 16 days ago on debut for this trainer; now eased in the grades (in for $5k); his best form stacks up so holds major claims.

Heart Of Gold

Jockey: Juan Nunez Trainer: Javier Contreras Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 737371

Comment: Got home in front by half a length in a maiden claimer two weeks ago, getting off the mark at the sixth attempt; has taken a step forward the last twice; lower claiming tag shouldn't put you off so ought to be on the premises.

Favorite Road

Jockey: Javier Rivera Trainer: Miguel Ramos Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 363165

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 7l) last month in a claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $5k here; his best form stacks up so he's an attractive contender.

Gogo Gadget

Jockey: J Acosta Trainer: Amanda Calhoun Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 6-85457

Comment: Behind several of these over 7f here (claimer) when last of seven in April; been generally quiet since successful in a maiden claimer at Charles Town in November; others appeal more.

Jubacantfixthis

Jockey: Joe Stokes Trainer: Kent Knudsen Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 913366

Comment: Finished behind Boundforabruisin in a claimer when last of six two weeks ago; claiming tag drops to $5k (from $15k); may have to settle for supporting role.

Juba Marches On

Jockey: Jhorma Cespedes Trainer: Ronney Brown Age/Wt: 3/7-13 F: 314427

Comment: Split Aldarighttricks and Sapphirus three weeks ago when beaten 7l in seventh in a claimer; drops to a $5k tag; possibilities if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

Aldarighttricks

Jockey: Victor Rodriguez Trainer: William Lewis Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 86-356

Comment: Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (9l) in an allowance race (muddy track) last Saturday; just the one victory on his CV but useful at this level; step up in trip looks suitable.

Majesty's Cowboy

Jockey: Jason Simpson Trainer: Geoffrey Dixon Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 6-78795

Comment: Generally modest form since maiden special weight success at Mountaineer Park in September but he meets the required standard ability wise; behind Why Winchill Why at Mountaineer Park over 6f (allowance optional claimer, sloppy track) on first run for this trainer when beaten 13l (fifth of six) last month.

Why Winchill Why

Jockey: Joe Stokes Trainer: Karl Meeks Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 974343

Comment: Not beaten that far in third (6l) 19 days ago (Mountaineer Park) in an allowance race; been a while since he managed only win; recent form has a decent look to it; tried over an additional 1f now.
