Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: CLEAR VISION is fancied to reverse the placings with Uncle John from their last meeting and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed. Battle Call, Mister Abarrio and Alley Oop Johnny are among the dangers.

Clear Vision

Jockey: Rajiv Maragh Trainer: Nolan Ramsey Age/Wt: 9/8-10 F: 5/-483

Comment: Better than this level in his prime and resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a eighth career win); split a number of these rivals over 1m here (claimer) when beaten 1l to finish third last month; strong claims.

Fredo

Jockey: Joe Bravo Trainer: Antonio Sano Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 0-42044

Comment: Has been fairly consistent of late; a long time since his last win; not beaten too far (1½l) over 1m½f here (claimer) two weeks ago; claiming value now drops to $25k.

Mister Abarrio

Jockey: Micah Husbands Trainer: S Joseph Jr Age/Wt: 5/8-5 F: 52-334

Comment: Could not manage better than fourth two weeks ago in a starter allowance; brings plenty of winning course form to the table; he shouldn't be far away.

Battle Call

Jockey: Luca Panici Trainer: Jose Gallegos Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 1/115-

Comment: Beaten 6l (fifth) in November in an allowance optional claimer; has achieved four wins from ten career runs; returns from an absence here; likely to be in contention; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break.

Uncle John

Jockey: Edgard Zayas Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 14-952

Comment: Finished ahead of three of these in a claimer when involved in the finish last month on his first start for this trainer upped to 1m; should go close.

My Sea Cottage

Jockey: Leonel Reyes Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 63-64

Comment: Season-ticket holder here with three wins; not disgraced when fourth last month in a claimer; should go close.

Alley Oop Johnny

Jockey: Emisael Jaramillo Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: -2242

Comment: Ran well when beaten a head three weeks ago in a claimer; string of consistent efforts of late and cut above this level at his peak; now moved up in the grades (in for $25k); should give it a bold bid.

Game Keeper

Jockey: Edwin Gonzalez Trainer: Scott Acker Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 1398

Comment: Last of eight in a claimer (Oaklawn Park) last month; greatly reduced claiming tag sends alarm bells ringing so easy to oppose.

Swashbuckle

Jockey: Jonathan Ocasio Trainer: Javier Negrete Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 046-78

Comment: Successful five times from 6f to 1m½f; behind several of these when eighth of 12 last month in a claimer; this line-up contains some strong opposition so hard to entertain.
