EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: NOTORIOUS GANGSTER could cash in if the leaders go too fast and is bidding for his third course success. Mansetti, Big Vince and Church And State are also shortlisted.

War Of Destiny

Jockey: Sahin Civaci Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 515-

Comment: Came home last in December in race won by Church And State upped to 1m½f on first run for his current trainer in an allowance optional claimer; looks the part on breeding (by War Of Will) and related to Stakes winner Dream Marie; with more on his plate looks an unlikely winner.

Mansetti

Jockey: Pietro Moran Trainer: Kevin Attard Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 161-5

Comment: Was fifth of seven, beaten 26l, over 1m at Aqueduct (stakes) in January; winner of two of his four career runs and this son of Collected looks the part on breeding; looks likely to go well granted a bit more luck as didn't get the rub of the green last time and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Church And State

Jockey: Rafael Hernandez Trainer: Dale Desruisseaux Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 11-4

Comment: Finished fourth, beaten 8l, at Turfway Park in January in a stakes; has to be considered.

Big Vince

Jockey: Walter Rodriguez Trainer: Larry Rivelli Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 5-113

Comment: Beaten 7l when third of seven in a stakes (Turfway Park) last month; this son of Caravaggio looks the part on breeding and has made a pleasing start to his career with two wins from four starts; one to be interested in.

Incoming

Jockey: Ryan Munger Trainer: Gail Cox Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 41

Comment: Sprang a 13-1 shock at Gulfstream Park six weeks ago when getting off the mark at the second time of asking in a maiden optional claimer; hard enough to fancy as may find this tougher stepping out of maiden claiming company.

Most Likely

Jockey: Patrick Husbands Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 2241-5

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 12l into fifth) in January on debut for this handler at Oaklawn Park in an allowance race; signs of improvement on last two runs; chance if finding his best form and this step up in class unlikely to hinder him.

Kokomo

Jockey: Sofia Vives Trainer: Gail Cox Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 22178-

Comment: Close up behind Notorious Gangster when eighth in October upped to 1m½f in a stakes; meeting some horses in good form and has some questions to answer.

Thundering

Jockey: Eswan Flores Trainer: Patrick Dixon Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 314-

Comment: A stakes winner six months ago at this track; beaten a fair way when fourth in a Grade 3 upped to 1m½f in November; he can be taken on despite dropping in class.

Notorious Gangster

Jockey: Fraser Aebly Trainer: Josie Carroll Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 3171-

Comment: This son of Classic Empire looks the part on breeding and has made a pleasing start to his career with two wins from four starts; gained a 2l success in November in a stakes; big player.
