Comment: Grade looks suitable and admirably consistent; out of the money, beaten just under 2l, when fifth over 5f at Del Mar (allowance optional claimer) in August; good record under Kazushi Kimura (partnership reunited here); rates a likely contender now upped in trip and shown he can get his head in front.

The G M

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: M Puype Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 31-

Comment: Off the mark at the second time of asking when winning by half a length in a maiden special weight in December; returns from a layoff; claiming debut; big chance.

Windribbon

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 9/9-0 F: 14367

Comment: Behind Mining District in an allowance optional claimer when last of seven 28 days ago; has winning track form; this is his level; one to note as should benefit from return to this trip and shown he can win fairly recently.

Cody Boy

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: Javier Sierra Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 8-27173

Comment: A course winner; decent effort when 33-1 third where he had two of these rivals behind last month in an allowance optional claimer; should give it a bold bid.

Runkerry

Jockey: Cristobal Herrera Trainer: Gloria Haley Age/Wt: 8/9-0 F: 2-3147

Comment: Not disgraced when seventh over 6f here (allowance optional claimer, split Cody Boy and Disobey) 27 days ago; has won previously at this course; not an obvious one as no longer in his pomp.

Mining District

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Doug O'Neill Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 1-45422

Comment: Has been consistent of late; missed out by half a length with Windribbon just behind 28 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; should get involved.

EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: Firm preference is for MRS. ASTOR. She is a proven performer at this level and can confirm placings with Starry Heavens and Mahina, who were behind her when last seen.

Kentucky Gal

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 1-4021

Comment: Wins have come at a lower level but resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); successful by 3l 48 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; up in class but hard to ignore.

Mrs. Astor

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: Jonathan Thomas Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 11-21

Comment: Landed Santa Anita stakes in good style upped to 1m4f with Starry Heavens (runner-up) and Mahina (fourth) behind last month; achieved plenty of success against this sort of company; big chance as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Comment: Finished fourth, beaten a fair way in a stakes upped to 1m4f 41 days ago 6l behind Mrs. Astor; knocking at the door recently; wins have come at a lower level; facing a testing assignment and one to tread carefully with.

Starry Heavens

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 387-32

Comment: Behind Mrs. Astor over 1m4f here (stakes) putting in a solid effort to finish second six weeks ago; on target three in 16 attempts overseas; capable of going well as it's a positive she's dropping back to 1m2f.

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: GRAZENINTHEGRASS is a confident pick. She is from a yard with a fine record with newcomers, while My Love Caroline, My Kat and That Ain't Right also warrant respect.

Grazeninthegrass

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Tim Yakteen Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Trainer capable of preparing a newcomer to win; she's worth a go.

Lino's Angel

Jockey: Tyler Baze Trainer: Edwin Alvarez Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire gets speedy types; trainer not renowned for sending out winning newcomers; been active in workouts.

Priscilla

Jockey: Ricardo Gonzalez Trainer: Andy Mathis Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sibling of Thirst For Passion (1m winner); the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; market may be informative on her prospects.

My Love Caroline

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Jorge Periban Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 3

Comment: Was a shade disappointing on her debut when third (6-5) running here over 4½f; likely to be in contention as shown signs of ability in her exercise and market vibes last time suggest she is capable of better.

My Kat

Jockey: William Iii Antongeorgi Trainer: George Papaprodromou Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: George Papaprodromou can ready one to strike at the first time of asking; shares a dam with Chasing Kat, a 6f winner; in the mix with signs of encouragement in profile and there is speed in the pedigree.

Joyriding

Jockey: Welfin Orantes Trainer: Felix Rondan Age/Wt: 2/8-2

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Unpossible (5½f-1m½f); trainer often leaves something to work on; a watching brief the best policy.

Druliner

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Craig Lewis Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to 6f winner Booster Club; pedigree suggests she may get better with age; market may be informative on her prospects.

Eighties

Jockey: Diego Herrera Trainer: Antonio Garcia Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Has plenty of trackwork under her belt; sibling of Hot Legs Romolo (1m winner); attractively bred daughter of I'll Have Another; easy to see her making an impression.

Tammy Baby

Jockey: Edwin Maldonado Trainer: J Bonde Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: First career start for this two-year-old; requires market confidence to make her of interest.

Salty Sally

Jockey: Tyler Baze Trainer: Adan Farias Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: The sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; newcomer by Stay Thirsty; market could reveal prospects.

That Ain't Right

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Steve Sherman Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 4

Comment: Problems early (problems in the gate, at Santa Anita over 4½f) when held on her debut at 17-2 last month; is not ruled out on best trackwork and she could be more streetwise here.

Final Table Lady

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: Jorge Periban Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sibling of My Dad Is Thirsty (1m winner); course debutants for this trainer have to be taken seriously; bred to improve with age.
