Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: TRUE MYTH has shown she can get her head in front and could see the likely strong pace tee things up nicely for her. Gulf Coast Girl and C. S. Vivace also warrant respect.

Bolt Of Paradise

Jockey: Jose Ferrer Trainer: Kathleen DeMasi Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 4-487

Comment: Got across to lead from a wide draw when beaten 8l (seventh of ten) two months ago in a claimer; this is her grade; capable if in the mood so should not be ruled out.

True Myth

Jockey: Samuel Marin Trainer: David Vanwinkle Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 3-7165

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; she meets the required standard ability wise; not beaten that far in fifth (just over 3l) in a claimer last month; now down in class (in for $16k from $25k); more than capable if on song so is a major player.

Gray Enough

Jockey: Miguel Martinez Trainer: Jaime Vigil Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 15254-

Comment: Was held in fourth in an allowance race at Thistledown upped to 1m in October; returns from a layoff here; this looks a fair heat so others make more appeal.

Gulf Coast Girl

Jockey: Sonny Leon Trainer: Michael Dini Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4-15643

Comment: Split a number of these rivals here over 1m (claimer) when beaten just under 3l to finish third three weeks ago; has won previously at this course; produced a string of consistent efforts; looks likely to be involved.

Forever Again

Jockey: Ronald Allen Jr Trainer: Tim Schuh Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 52451

Comment: Successful by just over 3l when off the mark in a maiden claimer three weeks ago; likely player as recent win points to her being able to handle class rise.

Holder Close

Jockey: Jorge Urdaneta Trainer: Nestor Cascallares Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 44219

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; winning form over C&D; failed to land a blow when ninth of ten 29 days ago in an allowance race; meeting some horses in good form and easy to oppose.

Girl Dynamite

Jockey: Cesar Gonzalez Trainer: Nestor Marrero Age/Wt: 3/7-13 F: 2751

Comment: Got the job done by 2l in a maiden claimer when opening her account at the fourth time of asking 35 days ago; sire does get winners on the turf; steps into the unknown over new trip and she can be taken on.

Udidn'tpay

Jockey: Ademar Santos Trainer: Coleen Ashmore Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 3550

Comment: Behind three of these over 1m here (claimer) when last of ten 25 days ago; sole victory becoming a distant memory; found this claiming level has been beyond her recently so easy to oppose.

Nelida

Jockey: Scott Spieth Trainer: Aldana Spieth Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 757-2

Comment: Finished ahead of three of these here over 1m (claimer) when beaten 1l to finish runner-up 25 days ago on debut for this trainer; latest effort was encouraging so should not be ruled out.

C. S. Vivace

Jockey: Marcos Meneses Trainer: Georgina Baxter Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 8-72226

Comment: Was held in sixth two weeks ago in a claimer; claiming value now drops to $16k; easy to see her making an impression given she was second (albeit some way back) two starts ago.

Tourist Style

Jockey: Gabriel Maldonado Trainer: Luis Gonzalez Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 35-179

Comment: Has won here before; finished last of nine in a claimer on her debut for new trainer 15 days ago; claiming value rises from $8k last time; a lot on her plate here and not hard to turn elsewhere.

Sister Nell

Jockey: Wilfred Vasquez Trainer: Leandro Barban Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 4-2539

Comment: Beaten 14l 25 days ago splitting Nelida, Gulf Coast Girl and Udidn'tpay in a claimer; may have reached limits of her ability and poor strike-rate; Wilfred Vasquez here for just this ride; passed over as no longer in her pomp.

Nicky Jolene

Jockey: Marcos Meneses Trainer: Ramon Aguayo Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 33780-

Comment: Behind Ain't Noncents in a claimer in December when beaten 16l upped to 7f; achieved only a sole win but grade looks suitable; tried over an additional 1½f now.

Ain't Noncents

Jockey: Sara Hess Trainer: Abraham Gardea Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 46429

Comment: This is her grade; unable to land a blow in ninth a week ago in a claimer; claiming tag now upped to $16k.
