EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: HURTS SO BAD will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast and is a four-time course winner. Try Try Again and Winging Ways should also be in the mix.

Hatchet Creek

Jockey: Constantino Roman Trainer: Dino Dizeo Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 61-44

Comment: Smart performer at one stage and winner of four races at this venue; finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (8l) in a claimer two weeks ago; poses a threat.

Winging Ways

Jockey: Reynier Arrieta Trainer: Max Quinonez Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 111-

Comment: Boasts a creditable three from 17 record at this track and comes here off the back of a hat-trick; scored by 3½l over 6f at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing (claimer) in October; returns from an absence here; is a player.

Hurts So Bad

Jockey: Alexis Centeno Trainer: Antonio Meraz Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 517-4

Comment: Four wins from 24 here; respectable effort finishing fourth (beaten just over 2l) two weeks ago in a claimer; very interesting.

Uncaptured Pulse

Jockey: Israel Hernandez Trainer: Rigo Rosas Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 428-5

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 7l in fifth) over 5f here (claimer) three weeks ago; successful six times from 5½f to 1m but may have reached limits of his ability; his best looks to be behind him and unlikely to trouble the principals.

Son Of Grace

Jockey: Uriel Lopez Trainer: Earl Hughes Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 68-955

Comment: Beaten 12l (fifth) over 6f here (claimer) last week; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023) and perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling; in for a $5k tag here, up from $4k last time; uphill struggle.

Try Try Again

Jockey: Frank Reyes Trainer: Joel Zawitz Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 78156-

Comment: Last of six over 1m½f here (claimer) in July; specialist here with four wins and better than this level in his pomp; claiming value now drops to $5k; layoff to overcome; respected if reproducing form of his win three starts back.
