Verdict: Firm preference is for JUST RELAX. Just Buu and Fly Commander are more names to consider.

El Mango Banilejo

Jockey: Alex Gonzalez Trainer: Nestor Cascallares Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: -4

Comment: Finished fourth of seven on his debut (over 5f here) in first-time blinkers at 33-1 three weeks ago; claiming debut; now drops in class but must step up if he is to threaten here.

Senor Resplandor

Jockey: Richard Bracho Trainer: Rafael Romero Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Running in first race; there's hope from the sire that he has some ability; others look more obvious on paper; a look at the betting is advised.

Fly Commander

Jockey: Daniel Centeno Trainer: Gerard Ochoa Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 24-223

Comment: Running consistently and seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; somewhat disappointing when finishing third (4-5) in a maiden claimer five weeks ago; in for a $32k tag here, up from $25k last time; likely to be in contention as from low numbers over this C&D his jockey has an impressive record.

Just Relax

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: J D Angelo Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 3-4449

Comment: Could not manage better than ninth in a maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park 22 days ago; in with a big shout as shown he can be competitive fairly recently and is now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer.

Stillnohasslejj

Jockey: Marcos Meneses Trainer: Gary Marino Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Plenty of trackwork in the book; he shouldn't be far away with signs of encouragement in profile and there is speed in the pedigree.

Mcmullen

Jockey: Sara Hess Trainer: Kathleen Guciardo Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Sire has produced lots of sprint winners; first time on the track; a watching brief the best policy with some of these having run before.

Neoteric

Jockey: Alonso Quinonez Trainer: Tim Padilla Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 3-65455

Comment: Comfortably beaten into fifth two weeks ago in a maiden claimer; not yet off the mark in seven attempts although has finished third; others more likely.

Just Buu

Jockey: Jose Ferrer Trainer: John Rigattieri Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 26

Comment: Lightly raced (this just his third race); was held in sixth in a maiden claimer upped to 1m five weeks ago; one to be interested in now that he knows his job and a good second two starts back.
