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.

Knotty Kitty

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Terry Eoff Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 569

Comment: This now her fourth attempt to get off the mark; problems at the start (bumped) when ninth of 12 at Sam Houston 35 days ago in a maiden special weight; this is a step down in class but not easy to fancy.

Come On Sing

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: M Davidson Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 80/84

Comment: Finished just behind Along Came Thunder when fourth in a maiden claimer (Sam Houston) upped to 1m last month; in for a $20k tag so up in class ($10k last time).

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.

Shezasweetpea

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 0

Comment: Tailed off on debut over 5f at Sam Houston at 33-1 23 days ago; the stable is going well; has to be considered now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer.
