Verdict: ANITA GLASSOFWINE performed with credit on her debut and there were positives to take from her debut run. Royalties Riches and Sassy Fox should also be in the hunt.

Royalties Riches

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: From a stable with a solid record with debutants; breeding suggests she may get better with age; attractively bred daughter of Union Rags; related to Souper Legacy, winning form over 7f-1m½f; likely to be thereabouts as some good aspects to her profile and jockey does well from inner gates here.

Sassy Fox

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Newcomers from this yard are worth close attention in the betting; related to 7f winner Aintafraidtodream; likely to be involved with signs of encouragement in profile - form of her trainer is an obvious plus.

Shining Away

Jockey: Jose Lopez Trainer: Angel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 7

Comment: Finished seventh and beaten 14l first time out (5½f, here) sporting blinkers at 40-1 two weeks ago; now down in class (in for $30k from $50k); hard to make her a bet based on first race.

Bear's Board

Jockey: Gavin Ashton Trainer: Victoria Oliver Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Stable not renowned for getting debutant winners; bred to get better with time; related to 5f winner Corso's Pick; market may guide on this one.

Anita Glassofwine

Jockey: Daniel Centeno Trainer: Lynn Ashby Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 4

Comment: Not disgraced (beaten 4½l) on her debut at Delaware Park at 8-1 three weeks ago; has to be considered if reproducing initial effort.

Midnight Spin

Jockey: Ubardo Casique Trainer: Roland Clement Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire's progeny have a good record in sprints; first competitive racecourse experience; a watching brief the best policy.

Mischeviousjoanie

Jockey: Johan Rosado Trainer: Roland Clement Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sibling of Holy Joanie (5½f winner); having her first start in public; overlooked unless the market says otherwise as hasn't shown a great deal in her trackwork.

Verdict: C'MON EILEEN represents a stable that gets plenty of first-time-out winners. Aldene and My Stubborn Lassie also warrant respect.

Fond Of You

Jockey: Francisco Arrieta Trainer: Michael Stidham Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: From a stable with a solid record with newcomers; looks the part on breeding (by Street Sense); breeding suggests she may get better with age; related to Maycocks Bay (winner from 6½f up to 1m½f); should be on the premises.

C'mon Eileen

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Newcomers from this stable are worth close attention in the betting; can make her presence felt given progeny of sire have a good record in sprints and the trainer is hot at the moment.

Worship My Name

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Abraham Gardea Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Yard not renowned for sending out winning newcomers; pedigree suggests she may get better with age; might be one for another day; market may guide.

Aldene

Jockey: Jorge Ruiz Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to Ten Days Later, winning form over 6f-1m½f; her yard gets plenty of debutant winners; likely to be a threat.

Musical Power

Jockey: Ubardo Casique Trainer: Carlos Munoz Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 3

Comment: Bred to get better with time; related to Awesome Taylor, winning form over 5½f-1m; would be a surprise to see this one figure as trainer not renowned for debutant winners.

My Stubborn Lassie

Jockey: Ben Curtis Trainer: P Eurton Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Represents a powerful trainer; should figure with signs of encouragement in profile and her sire gets speedy types.

Galoshes

Jockey: Antonio Gallardo Trainer: Michael Lauer Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 16-867

Comment: Finished last of seven in an allowance optional claimer at Horseshoe Indianapolis 30 days ago upped to this distance; not always shown an awful lot since winning an allowance race at Horseshoe Indianapolis in October; hard enough to fancy as shown nothing recently.

Sal's Blue Jacket

Jockey: Francisco Arrieta Trainer: Michael Stidham Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 5257-4

Comment: Fair effort last month (Delaware Park), finished ahead of Hidden Presence, managing to get across to lead from stall nine in an optional claimer; a course winner; claiming tag drops to $30k (from $45k); warrants respect as recent effort was encouraging.

Top Gun Girl

Jockey: Ben Curtis Trainer: Rodolphe Brisset Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 42-626

Comment: Consistent lately and can be a player at this level; respectable effort four weeks ago at Churchill Downs in an allowance optional claimer; should not be far away as showed promise in workout last week and she can take this step up in class in her stride.

Inveigled

Jockey: Ben Curtis Trainer: Jane Cibelli Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 0-1242

Comment: Just touched off over 1m½f at Laurel Park (allowance optional claimer) 35 days ago; proved competitive when hitting the board in a stakes four months ago and admirable career strike-rate (three from 14 to date); has to be respected despite moving up in class and jockey does well from inside draws here.

Bouncer

Jockey: Carlos Lopez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 8-6221

Comment: Gained narrow success in an allowance optional claimer at Laurel Park last month; a C&D winner; form of the trainer is a plus; he can be taken on as facing a tougher assignment this time.

O'conner Sunset

Jockey: J Acosta Trainer: Michael Jones Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 4-7521

Comment: Sent off 33-1 when a narrow winner at Charles Town over 6½f (allowance race) last month; has won here previously; all his wins have been at a lower level; probably unlikely to trouble the principals with tougher test on the cards.

My Handsome Man

Jockey: Denis Araujo Trainer: Melvin Ovando Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 732364

Comment: An infrequent winner and form is hit and miss; not beaten that far in fourth (7l) at Monmouth Park over 6f (allowance optional claimer, sloppy track) 41 days ago; may not be up to this with more demanding test in store.

Celtic Contender

Jockey: Victor Carrasco Trainer: Hamilton Smith Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 1-2332

Comment: Has been consistent of late and record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 5-16); problems at the start (stumbled) over 6f at Laurel Park (stakes) when a close-up runner-up last month; should get involved.

Comment: Unbeaten at this course after two runs; boasts winning form over C&D; went close when second over 1m at Churchill Downs (stakes) where just ahead of Inveigled (sloppy track) three months ago; major player as he has worked well.

Comment: Almost victorious in a stakes in February and has managed four wins from 14 career runs; not disgraced when fifth at Belmont At The Big A three months ago (muddy track) in a Grade 3; drop in class is a positive and in with a chance.

Caddiemaster

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Horacio De Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 606-

Comment: Sixth of 11 beaten 12l at Belmont At The Big A in November upped to 1m½f in a maiden special weight; related to Grade 2 winner Sue's Fortune; returns from a break today; can't be ruled out as he now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Kitty's Son

Comment: Winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 16; finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 4l) in a maiden special weight (Laurel Park) upped to 1m½f last month; easy to oppose as looks more likely to place than win.

Comment: Related to Grade 1 winner Practical Move and hails from a good stable; fair form when just over 3l third over 1m½f at Delaware Park (maiden claimer, soft) four weeks ago; claiming value now rises to $40k; can give it a good shot.

Grand Kingdom
