EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: ROAD TO VERSAILLES could cash in if the leaders go too fast and ran with credit last time. Attestation and Sparklet can give the selection something to think about.

Sehr Schoen

Jockey: Amanda Vandermeersch Trainer: William Tharrenos Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 8-5015

Comment: Beaten fifth of seven over 1m at Gulfstream Park (claimer) last month; seems to be improving based on last two runs; this is competitive and hard to recommend.

Road To Versailles

Jockey: Rafael Hernandez Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 567-22

Comment: Has maintained his consistent level of form; ran well when beaten a head in a claimer (Gulfstream Park) three weeks ago; recent display was promising so is a big player.

Its Just Money

Jockey: Jason Hoyte Trainer: Steven Flint Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 49-14

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 6l in fourth) at Fair Grounds over 6f (claimer) two months ago; has kicked on in his last couple of races; this is competitive and has questions to answer.

Attestation

Jockey: Jeffrey Alderson Trainer: William Tharrenos Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 7-6621

Comment: Has shown some recent improvement; shed maiden status at the sixth time of asking when winning by half a length (Gulfstream Park) two months ago in a maiden claimer on debut for this trainer; more on his plate this time but could be thereabouts.

If You Insist

Jockey: Jose Campos Trainer: Eric Raghunath Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 28624-

Comment: Poor strike-rate; managed to get on the lead from his wide berth five months ago dropped down to 5½f in a claimer; recent effort was creditable so expected to be in the thick of things.

Hanlan

Jockey: Eswan Flores Trainer: John Coryat Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 6231-

Comment: Signs of improvement on last two runs; off the mark when winning with a bit to spare over 6f (maiden claimer) in December; Move up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher so not easy to fancy.

Sparklet

Jockey: Ryan Munger Trainer: Devon Gittens Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 9652-

Comment: Ran well to finish runner-up (beaten 1l) over 5½f here (claimer) five months ago; likely to be in contention if replicating most recent run.
