Verdict: WILD WEST JUSTICE can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front and has been a winner over the trip. Jed and The Devil's Bet also merit consideration.

Unbridled Bling

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

Comment: Out of the frame when sixth in a stakes on first run for this trainer (Sam Houston) 36 days ago; now drops in class but may be vulnerable.

Specialsortastorm

Jockey: Elvin Gonzalez Trainer: Tristan Ashford Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 4234-

Comment: In good form before possible blip last time and he meets the required standard ability wise; beaten 19l when fourth of five at Remington Park over 1m (allowance race) in November; returns from an absence here.

The Devil's Bet

Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: Jaylan Clary Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 322181

Comment: Gained narrow success in an allowance race (Sam Houston) last month; has chalked up two wins from his last three; should be thereabouts.

Jed

Jockey: Miguel Fuentes Jr Trainer: Joel Marr Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 223-61

Comment: Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-11); got the job done by just under 3l at Sunland Park last month in an allowance optional claimer; first run on turf; should be on the premises.

Gabarra

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

Comment: Ran a good race in defeat when a close third in an allowance race (Sam Houston, not far behind Wild West Justice) last month; should give it a bold bid.

Dose's Dream

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Sarah Davidson Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 088412

Comment: Went down by just under 2l in a claimer (muddy track) last Saturday; step up to allowance company will make life tougher so hard to make a case for him.

Wild West Justice

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

Comment: Managed to get on the lead from his wide berth at Sam Houston on debut outing for new trainer when close runner-up last month in an allowance race; should have every chance.

Classic Moment

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 0-11

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.

Imperial Red Bird

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 712-

Comment: Ahead of Sponge Bath and Louisiana Flash when runner-up (beaten 1½l) last June in an allowance race; this C&D holds no fears; back from an absence here; should not be far away.

Get Ripped

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 8-717

Comment: Beaten 5l in seventh upped to 1m last month at Sam Houston in a claimer; competitive shout if finding his best form and this step up in class unlikely to hinder him.

Sponge Bath

Jockey: Freddy Manrrique Trainer: Austin Gustafson Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 676-1

Comment: Back to winning ways when successful by 1l at Sam Houston last month in a claimer; is passed over despite that win at Sam Houston.

Noble Eagle

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: Carlos Padilla Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 23-310

Comment: Finished tailed off over 1m½f at Sam Houston (allowance race) three weeks ago; signs of improvement on last two runs; this line-up contains some strong opposition so not easy to fancy.

Louisiana Flash

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: Austin Gustafson Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 74-461

Comment: Got the job done by just over 2l at Sam Houston last month in a claimer; looking for his third career win; steps down in trip.
