Verdict: ACCOMPLISHED GIRL is the recommendation. She could cash in if the leaders go too fast and is proven at the trip. Cloudwalker and B G Warrior are also of interest.

Laura's Charm

Jockey: Vincent Cheminaud Trainer: Lacy Pierce Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: -755

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing fifth four weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; a C&D winner; a few throw outs since her success in an allowance optional claimer at Churchill Downs in September; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as poor record running for the second time after an absence.

Bling

Jockey: Luan Machado Trainer: Victoria Oliver Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 82-240

Comment: Finished behind Laura's Charm last month when finishing last of ten in an allowance optional claimer; successful three times from 22 career starts (5½f-1m); should be thereabouts as has been on the scene in the recent past.

Accomplished Girl

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 3-1382

Comment: Went down by a short head at Pimlico 36 days ago in a stakes; record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 6-21); can make her presence felt with drop in class a positive.

Cloudwalker

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Brendan Walsh Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 18-655

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; this is her grade; not beaten too far when fifth here last month in a Grade 3; in first-time blinkers; should be on the premises in this lower-class event and shown she can win fairly recently.

Non Violence

Jockey: Reylu Gutierrez Trainer: W Calhoun Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: -7417

Comment: Finished last of seven (dropped to 6f) two months ago (bobbled at the start) in a stakes; record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-13) and won a stakes in April; might find this company a little easier but others have more pressing claims.

Jockey: Corey Lanerie Trainer: Eric Foster Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 9-757

Comment: Finished behind B G Warrior three months ago at Turfway Park when beaten 13l in an allowance optional claimer; a winner over C&D; a few throw outs since her success in a stakes at Horseshoe Indianapolis last July; others appeal more.

Verdict: TOP GUN TOMMY can prove superior to his rivals. He has an encouraging career strike-rate and is taken to confirm the placings after finishing ahead of Code Omaha latest.

M B's Munning

Jockey: Rafael Bejarano Trainer: Jason Cook Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 5-457

Comment: Admirable career strike-rate (five from 21 to date); no threat to winner, Midnight Pranks, here three weeks ago (finished seventh) in a claimer; claiming tag rises from $25k last time; others are preferred given this looks a decent race.

Midnight Pranks

Jockey: Jaime Torres Trainer: Ethan West Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 44451

Comment: Halted losing run in a claimer overcoming four of these rivals when springing a surprise to win at 18-1 last month; up in class (in for $32k); despite that Churchill Downs success, easy to oppose.

Morello

Jockey: Irving Moncada Trainer: J Sweezey Age/Wt: 6/8-1 F: 28-746

Comment: Favourite but unable to make the frame when sixth in a claimer last month; quality operator at his peak and resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a sixth career win); up in class (in for $32k); has to be considered as shown some signs of promise.

Seven Taylors

Jockey: Keith Asmussen Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 53-430

Comment: Beaten a long way here over 1m (maiden claimer) five weeks ago, behind Trojan Pride; this is his grade and has taken a step forward the last twice; calmer waters here (in for $30k, $40k tag last time); should not be ruled out as a number of his rivals have questions to answer and he didn't get much luck in running last time.

Verdict: Firm preference is for MIRANDA RIGHTS. He can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front and has won over this C&D, while Army Officer is another to consider.

Saint In The City

Jockey: Jaime Torres Trainer: Thomas Van Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 4-294

Comment: Boasts winning form over C&D; not disgraced when fourth over 1m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (optional claimer) last month; one to take seriously despite having more on his plate and shown he can win fairly recently.

Better Bet

Jockey: J R Leparoux Trainer: J Sweezey Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 8-776

Comment: Not really built on success in an allowance race last July at Saratoga; came home sixth, beaten just over 5l, six weeks ago splitting Echo Lane and Moogie Son when dropped down to 1m1f in an allowance optional claimer; concern he might not be fully tuned up so has some questions to answer.

Echo Lane

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Rohan Crichton Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 31432

Comment: Just denied when favourite over 1m1f here (allowance optional claimer) with Better Bet and Moogie Son behind six weeks ago; has been fairly consistent this year and went close in a stakes three months ago; warrants respect as jockey does well from inside draws here.

Harbor Springs

Jockey: Edgar Morales Trainer: Gregory Foley Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 13

Comment: Successful twice in her last three starts; fair effort when 2l third to Mink's Palace two months ago in a stakes; this demands more than last time so others have more pressing claims.

My Mane Squeeze

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 12-33

Comment: Proved competitive when hitting the board in a Grade 2 in October and has been consistent of late; a disappointing result (went off favourite) when beaten just over 3l at Belmont At The Big A last month in a Grade 2; has won in classy company before and likely to be thereabouts.

Claret Beret

Jockey: Micah Husbands Trainer: S Joseph Jr Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 4-151

Comment: Won fair and square on her first start for this trainer at Gulfstream Park 41 days ago in a handicap; record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 5-12) but yet to win a race of this value; this demands more than last time so others more likely.

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 983-

Comment: Creditable effort to finish third, beaten just over 4l in a claimer (muddy track) in November; returns from a layoff; has to be considered despite this step up in class and has proved he knows how to win.
