Verdict: DELIGHTFUL DARLING rates a strong recommendation. She hails from an in-form stable. Vibora, High Dollar Dolly and Meringue should also be on the premises.

Meringue

Jockey: Luan Machado Trainer: Rodolphe Brisset Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Frosted gets winners on the turf; yard capable of preparing a newcomer to win; should go well.

Mother Of Pearl

Jockey: Sophie Doyle Trainer: Justin Wojczynski Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 38

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 13l into eighth) in a maiden special weight last month; in with a shout as entitled to be a bit more streetwise this time and has shown she can be competitive fairly recently.

Rosenvold

Jockey: Rolando Aragon Trainer: Michael Evans Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: This daughter of Raging Bull is making her debut; this one is best watched, unless market signals suggest otherwise.

Delightful Darling

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Regular trackwork dispels any fitness concerns; stable made a good start this season with two-year-olds; sire does get winners on the turf; leading claims as some good aspects to her profile and the hot form of the trainer is a bonus.

Second City Saint

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: Kelsey Danner Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Trainer not renowned for getting debutant winners; from the same family as Nurse Caralyn, a winner over 6½f; overlooked unless the market says otherwise.

More Carats

Jockey: Chris Landeros Trainer: Ian Wilkes Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to Grade 1 winner Positano Sunset; sire gets turf winners; market may guide on this one.

High Dollar Dolly

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Joe Sharp Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; stable can prepare one to win first time out; should not be far away.

Engagement

Jockey: Micah Husbands Trainer: Jason McCutchen Age/Wt: 2/8-2 F: 8

Comment: Beaten 20l to finish last on her debut (28-1) six weeks ago (wearing blinkers) over C&D; sire gets turf winners; should improve with a run under her belt although it was only a modest start.

Comment: Seventh but beaten only 9l on her debut over 4½f at Keeneland at 5-1 two months ago; from a respected trainer and Wesley Ward two-year-olds are going well; one to note as she should be more streetwise this time.

Verdict: BARSTOOL rates a strong recommendation. He should be able to confirm placings with Abdicate.

Divot Digger

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Eddie Kenneally Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: From the same family as City Cocktails, a winner over 1m; trainer has a good record with newcomers here; in with a shout as some good aspects to his profile.

Abdicate

Jockey: Sophie Doyle Trainer: Justin Wojczynski Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 9

Comment: Completely tailed off on his debut (at Keeneland over this distance) two months ago; has a bit to find with Barstool (fourth) on that running; first attempt at a claimer; hard to see him getting off the mark second time up despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Dr Fenn

Jockey: James Graham Trainer: J Ennis Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Trainer capable of preparing a newcomer to win; from the same family as V Mart, a winner over 5½f; breeding shows he may improve with time; whether he'll be sufficiently clued up remains to be seen so a watching brief the best policy.

Kid Twist

Jockey: Edgar Morales Trainer: J Ennis Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: His trainer gets plenty of debutant winners; from the same family as Golden Rose, a winner over 6f; breeding suggests he may get better with age.

Red Speedo

Jockey: Reylu Gutierrez Trainer: John Hancock Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 88

Comment: Could not manage better than eighth over 5f here (maiden special weight) 27 days ago; runs in claiming company for the first time; easy enough to take on despite dropping in class.

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 5l, finishing fourth of ten in a maiden special weight (Keeneland) with Abdicate just behind two months ago; strong contender as shown promise on occasion and the penny could well drop today.

Comment: Respectable debut effort (beaten 9l) in course maiden special weight over 5f at 15-2 last month; not discounted now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and he could be more streetwise here.

Release Mccraken

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Thomas Amoss Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 6-41

Comment: Gained narrow success in a claimer (Fair Grounds) in February upped to this distance on debut for this trainer; managed two wins in his last six outings; tag drops from $30k to $12.5k here; returns from a layoff; Absence is no concern; has gone well after a break before and could take plenty of beating.

Comment: Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; excellent in his prime; gave it a good shot when a close fourth last month in a claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $12.5k here; if he can build on his latest effort then has a chance.

Jockey: Reylu Gutierrez Trainer: Genaro Garcia Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 5696

Comment: Successful six times from 24 career runs but slumped a bit since winning an allowance race at Century Mile in September; fair effort when beaten 6l, finishing sixth of ten two weeks ago (muddy track) in a claimer; drops to a $12.5k tag from $25k; easy to oppose.

Jockey: Luan Machado Trainer: Ryan Walsh Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 6-742

Comment: Finishing runner-up was a good effort in a maiden claimer on debut outing for new trainer 51 days ago; has taken a step forward the last twice but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 11; claiming value rises from $12.5k last time.

Verdict: UNDERCOVER AGENT can prove superior to her rivals. She goes for a yard in rude health at present, while Lewinsky, Beach Ballad and Clowning Around also merit consideration.

She's An Earner

Jockey: Antioco Murgia Trainer: Jimmy Corrigan Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 3

Comment: Trainer is well capable of preparing youngsters to win races on limited experience; sibling of Robin's Fantasy (1m winner); likely to be involved as some good aspects to her profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Clowning Around

Jockey: Walter Rodriguez Trainer: Wesley Ward Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 62

Comment: Two-year-olds trained by Wesley Ward are going well and from a respected trainer; not beaten far when runner-up last month in a maiden special weight; the stable has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; most recent trackwork a positive and hard to ignore.

Comment: Bred to get better as she gets older; has a nice pedigree (by Connect); recent workouts point to readiness; sire gets turf winners; Mark Casse made a good start this season with two-year-olds; must go on the shortlist as some good aspects to her profile and the hot form of the trainer is a bonus.

Dutch Girl

Jockey: Mario Gutierrez Trainer: Brian Lynch Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Newcomers from this stable are capable of striking; sire gets turf winners; faces fairly tall order so overlooked unless the market says otherwise.

Beach Ballad

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Stable gets plenty of debutant winners; nicely bred (by Omaha Beach); sire gets turf winners; needs considering.

Undercover Agent

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to 6½f winner Frida; sire gets turf winners; yard making hay with their two-year-olds; nicely bred (by Omaha Beach); every chance with signs of encouragement in profile and the trainer is hot at the moment.

Red Drapes

Jockey: Martin Garcia Trainer: George Arnold Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 3

Comment: Was third of five on her debut (7-2) last month over C&D; sire gets turf winners; couldn't rule out improvement although wouldn't get too carried away.
