Verdict: SILLY RABBIT is hard to look beyond. He is an interesting newcomer from a good yard. Christmas Spirit, Homestead and Tell 'Em I'm Comin are interesting.

Silk Suit

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Elizabeth Merryman Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 58-

Nothingbutbluesky

Jockey: Ismerio Villalobos Trainer: Kelly Rubley Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 6

Comment: Never posed a significant threat on his debut at Fair Grounds running over this trip at 33-1 last month; entitled to be better for that run.

Gladstone

Jockey: Jeiron Barbosa Trainer: Jane Cibelli Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 5

Comment: Beaten 6l to finish fifth on his debut at Gulfstream Park at 11-1 two months ago; should benefit for having a run under his belt.

Silly Rabbit

Jockey: Jorge Ruiz Trainer: H Motion Age/Wt: 3/8-5

Comment: Represents a trainer with a strong record here with newcomers; related to Grade 1 winner Spendarella; sire capable of producing high class offspring; clear chance with signs of encouragement in profile.

Uncle Grey

Jockey: Jean Briceno Trainer: Timothy Vick Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 7-84543

Comment: Recent form has a decent look to it; still winless and defeats stacking up (eight on the bounce); off slowly at the start when beaten 9l (third of seven) 21 days ago (split Armed N Dangerous and Triple Sec) in a maiden claimer; claiming tag rises from $30k last time; others appeal more.

Tasker

Jockey: Weston Hamilton Trainer: Madison Meyers Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 8-

Comment: Problems early (problems in the gate, over 6f here) when beaten a fair way on first start at 33-1 last January; first run in claiming company; has a long absence to overcome; needs to make above-average progress despite dropping in class.

Wrap And Send

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Horacio De Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 584-45

Comment: Best he's managed so far is fourth from five career starts; fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing fifth of six in a maiden claimer two months ago; up in class (in for $36k); has posted some fair efforts in defeat and definite chance.

Tell 'em I'm Comin

Jockey: Yedsit Hazlewood Trainer: Jose Corrales Age/Wt: 4/8-3 F: 9-642

Comment: Ran encouragingly when 2l second 23 days ago in a maiden claimer; string of consistent efforts of late and has kicked on in his last couple of races; recent display was promising so should be thereabouts.

Grey Biggsy

Jockey: Alexander Crispin Trainer: Cathal Lynch Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 522-64

Comment: Fourth of five beaten 22l in a maiden claimer last month; five-race maiden but has managed to finish second; has been on the scene in the recent past and should not be far away.

Work Hard

Jockey: Yan Rodriguez Trainer: Gary Capuano Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 2370-3

Comment: 15th attempt to lose maiden tag; fair effort when beaten 3½l in a maiden claimer (dropped back to 6f) three weeks ago; claiming value rises from $40k last time; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so in the mix.

Armed N Dangerous

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: Richard Sillaman Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 8-92

Comment: Solid effort when beaten 4l to finish runner-up in a maiden claimer on first run for this trainer 21 days ago; $45k claiming tag this time (up from $25k); should go well.

Tate's War Cry

Jockey: Andres Chavez Trainer: Timothy Keefe Age/Wt: 3/8-5

Comment: Sire gets turf winners; sibling of What The Flash (6f winner); remains to be seen whether he'll be clued up enough to get off the mark - watch the market.

Christmas Spirit

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 37

Comment: Vino Rosso gets turf winners; first-time blinkers no help over 1m at Colonial Downs (maiden special weight) when finishing last of seven (stumbled at the start) 43 days ago; easy to see him making an impression.

Homestead

Jockey: Martin Chuan Trainer: Keri Brion Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 832-

Comment: Not beaten far (Gulfstream Park) when dropped back to 1m1½f 413 days ago in a maiden special weight; not seen for some time now; now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time so warrants respect.

Triple Sec

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Katharine Voss Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 5

Comment: Never landed a blow on his debut when fifth of seven over 1m at 22-1 three weeks ago; couldn't rule out improvement although wouldn't get too carried away.

Arjay

Jockey: Carol Cedeno Trainer: Kerri Raven Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 8-228

Comment: Form lately has been a mixed bag but best form so far in last two starts; favourite when last of eight in a maiden claimer at Turfway Park 45 days ago; claiming value rises from $15k last time.
