Verdict: THE NEXT BIG BLING rates a strong recommendation. She should be forgiven a lacklustre latest run and should be suited by the abundance of pace up front, while Texas Moon is an interesting candidate.

Texas Moon

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 86-37

Comment: Can be a player at this level; not disgraced when seventh over 6f at Sam Houston (allowance race) four weeks ago; looks likely to be involved as has bits and pieces of decent form and she didn't get much luck in running last time.

Bali Girlee

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 6-231

Comment: Narrow scorer in a claimer (muddy track) at Sam Houston last month; a winner over C&D; the Mindy Willis outfit is running hot currently; claiming tag drops to $7.5k (from $10k); makes limited appeal despite that win last time.

Mariah

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Austin Gustafson Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 24-067

Comment: Finished behind Texas Moon at Sam Houston on first run for current trainer when beaten 10l (seventh of eight) two months ago in a claimer; a previous winner here; moves down to an easier grade (in for $7.5k); a likely player as pick of form offers some encouragement and dropping back to 5½f is a plus.

The Next Big Bling

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 05335

Comment: Beaten 9l when fifth of nine over 5f at Sam Houston (allowance race) three weeks ago; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; a major contender as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months and she finished third two runs ago.

Verdict: SCHOOL TEACHER looks a solid choice. She should be able to confirm placings with Thousand Angels and Knotty Kitty and is of interest if excusing her most recent run.

Thousand Angels

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: David Gomez Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 88

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 17l into eighth) upped to 1m last month (Sam Houston) in a maiden special weight; is a player as she drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Along Came Thunder

Jockey: Jose Perez Trainer: Alejandro Baldillez Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 7-3753

Comment: Has run 14 times without getting off the mark; third but only beaten half a length 28 days ago upped to 1m (Sam Houston) in a maiden claimer; should not be far away as latest speed figure offers hope she can mix it with these despite the rise in tag price and her recent effort was encouraging.

Checker's Song

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: M Davidson Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 65-0

Comment: Attempting to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking (fifth her best finish so far); comfortably beaten finishing tenth at Sam Houston 22 days ago in a maiden special weight; now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time so should not be ruled out.

School Teacher

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Joaquin Garza Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 76-327

Comment: Ahead of Thousand Angels and Knotty Kitty when seventh (beaten 16l) over 1m at Sam Houston (maiden special weight) five weeks ago; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; tame effort last time but second two starts back, albeit a fair way off the winner, in February; she is a serious player.

Comment: Achieved just the one win; ninth of 12 in a claimer (Sam Houston) 23 days ago; in for a $7.5k tag so down in class ($17.5k last time); this sort of tag has hampered his win prospects of late is likely to be vulnerable.

Verdict: RUN JUDY RUN is strongly fancied to come out on top. She is taken to confirm placings with Mya Way and Pebbles B Awesome.

Autism Rights

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Samuel Calvario Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 86

Comment: Finished tailed off in a maiden claimer at Sam Houston (behind Pebbles B Awesome) five weeks ago; makes limited appeal as could be telling that she is in for a much lower tag.

Texas Kiss

Jockey: Simon Camacho Benitez Trainer: Juan Triana Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 366-07

Jockey: Richard Eramia Trainer: Terry Eoff Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 03-405

Comment: Defeats piling up (0-10); comfortably beaten finishing fifth (Sam Houston) two months ago in a maiden claimer; claiming value now drops to $7.5k; shown she can be competitive fairly recently and is a player.

Comment: Finished in front of two of these at Sam Houston over 1m (maiden claimer) when beaten just under 5l to finish runner-up last month; has a nice pedigree (by Kantharos); may find this lower level more suitable (in for $7.5k); strong claims.

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: Matt Hebert Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 6

Comment: Not beaten too far (3½l) on his debut at Sam Houston at 12-1 four weeks ago; first-time blinkers now tried; should not be far away now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and his pedigree offers room to progress.

Comment: Problems at the start (stumbled) when last of seven at Sunland Park upped to 1m two months ago in an allowance optional claimer; proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fifth win); claiming tag drops to $10k (from $15k); plenty of appeal as reverting to this trip sure to suit and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Uptown Tappin

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Robert Werneth Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 178871

Comment: On target twice in his last six outings; narrow success in an allowance race (sloppy track) at Sam Houston last month; first attempt at a claimer; he can make a bold bid.

Comment: Found life tough when 36l back in eighth upped to 1m½f at Sam Houston 36 days ago in a stakes; on target twice in his last four outings; first attempt at a claimer; needs to be respected.

My Boy Bling

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Alejandro Baldillez Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 7-532

Comment: Produced an encouraging effort (runner-up of eight, beaten 2l, Sam Houston) five weeks ago in a claimer; achieved each of his two career wins at Sam Houston; not been able to get his head in front lately so others are preferred.

Jockey: Richard Eramia Trainer: M Davidson Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 341415

Mister Monte Carlo

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Jaylan Clary Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 5-6813

Comment: Wasn't disgraced when third of eight at Sam Houston 36 days ago in a stakes; has achieved three wins from 13 career runs; might find this company a little easier but is passed over.

Son Of A Bling

Jockey: Rene Diaz Trainer: J Caldwell Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 11-547

Comment: Finished last of seven over 1m at Sam Houston (stakes) last month; has scored over C&D; useful in this grade; could go close as has more than one win to his name and drop into claiming grade should help.

Turn North

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 3-32123

Comment: Almost victorious in a stakes 36 days ago and has maintained his consistent level of form; out of the money, beaten 2l, when third at Sam Houston 28 days ago in an allowance race; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so has to be taken seriously.

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Alex Hernandez Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: -9916

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 74-133

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Shawn Davis Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 8-662

Comment: Attempts to land a hat-trick and career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-15); won by 4½l in a claimer at Fair Grounds in February; now switched to turf for the first time; should figure despite this step up in class and has won after a similar break previously.
