Sahm Tequila

Jockey: Noel Vigil Trainer: Enrique Lopez Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 8-8575

Comment: Held in fifth at Tampa Bay Downs 45 days ago in a claimer; perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling and struggled a bit since winning a claimer at Thistledown in September; meeting some horses in good form and is passed over.

Gilligan

Jockey: Roberto Perez Trainer: Joseph Mahan Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 4-875

Comment: Been generally quiet since successful in a claimer at Thistledown in September and form could be levelling off; held when fifth beaten 16l at Mahoning Valley (muddy track) last month in a claimer; workout history raises concerns this race may be needed so he can be taken on.

Jockey: Angel Diaz Trainer: Ivan Calderon Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 4-562

Comment: Missed out by just over 1l in a claimer at Mahoning Valley 21 days ago; deeper waters here (in for $5k here, $4k tag last time); could be involved as recent display was promising.

Candy Crushem

Jockey: Anthony Nunez Trainer: Scott Sweazey Age/Wt: 9/8-11 F: 4-422

Comment: Went close when runner-up over 1m at Mahoning Valley (claimer) 35 days ago; season-ticket holder here with four wins but possible that there's no more in the locker; claiming value now rises to $5k; hard enough to fancy as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

Small Sailor

Jockey: Fernando Becerra Salazar Trainer: Donaciano Gonzalez Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 98676

Comment: Hasn't really fired since his success in a claimer at Thistledown in July and no longer appears to be improving; finished last of six in a claimer (sloppy track) at Mahoning Valley three weeks ago; a few rivals look in good form so not hard to turn elsewhere.

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Joseph Poole Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 3-6522

O Romeo

Jockey: Javier Tavares Trainer: Richard Genovese Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 2132-

Comment: Problems at the start (bumped) at Mahoning Valley in October when 6l second in a claimer; has an impressive C&D record (three wins from seven runs); returns from a layoff here; one to consider.

Sir

Jockey: Mauro Cedillo Trainer: Gary Johnson Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 54-87

Comment: Finished last of seven in a claimer (muddy track) when behind two of these at Mahoning Valley last month; a C&D winner; generally modest form since claimer success at Thistledown in September; workout history raises concerns this race may be needed so only limited appeal.

Jockey: T Houghton Trainer: Julie Pappada Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 3

Mizzen The Point

Jockey: Victor Fernandez Trainer: Paul Overholt Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 2134

Comment: This is her grade; not disgraced in fourth in an allowance race at Mahoning Valley last month; certainly not out of it as shown she can get her head in front and peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Shes A Storm

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jeffrey Radosevich Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 8-3111

Comment: Has won three of her six career starts and comes here off the back of a hat-trick; got the job done in a claimer by just over 1l (muddy track) at Mahoning Valley 22 days ago; can be in the thick of things as recent win suggests she can handle the step up in class.

Race Predictor

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: MISTER ZAZU is a confident pick. He likes to stalk the early speed and can confirm superiority with Silent Drill and Blue Blood Cowboy who were behind him when last seen.

Couple Beers Deep

Jockey: Victor Fernandez Trainer: Saul Morales Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 7-

Comment: Finished last and beaten 23l first time out over 6f at Mahoning Valley with blinkers tried at 9-2 in November; returns from an absence here; could improve although needs to.

Silent Drill

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Craig Sweeting Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 5

Comment: Seemed to find life tough on his debut 34 days ago over 6f at Mahoning Valley; progress needed on this second career run.

Dew It With Class

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Brian Waltz Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Related to Dew It With Style, winning form over 6f-1m; first public outing; would be a surprise to see this one figure with some of these having run before.

Sadie's Ghost

Jockey: Javier Tavares Trainer: Richard Rettele Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 2-

Comment: Ran encouragingly on his debut when runner-up six months ago over this trip at Mahoning Valley; not much between him and Blue Blood Cowboy (seventh) on that result; returns from an absence here; could go close if replicating initial run.

Flaring Song

Jockey: Fernando Becerra Salazar Trainer: Danny Bird Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: -64224

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; had two of these rivals behind him at Mahoning Valley three weeks ago upped to 1m (sloppy track) in a maiden special weight; should go close.

Blue Blood Cowboy

Jockey: Roberto Perez Trainer: Jason Dacosta Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 736485

Comment: Winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 13; could not manage better than fifth over 1m at Mahoning Valley (maiden special weight, sloppy track) 19 days ago; he can be taken on as running in what looks to be a hot race.

Jacobi

Jockey: Mauro Cedillo Trainer: Susan Yoder Age/Wt: 4/8-11

Comment: Has busy trackwork profile; warrants respect with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire gets speedy types.

Skunk Ape

Jockey: Joam Toledo Trainer: Lori Smith Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: P-4750

Comment: Behind Flaring Song and Blue Blood Cowboy (fourth and fifth) at Mahoning Valley (sloppy track) upped to 1m three weeks ago when tailed off in a maiden special weight; frequent visitor to this track; still winless and defeats stacking up (16 on the bounce); can't go on the shortlist given lifeless performances of late.

Mister Zazu

Jockey: Luis Rivera Trainer: Jeffrey Radosevich Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 45-43

Comment: Lightly raced (running for just the fifth time); related to Stakes winner Mobil Lady; finished in front of Silent Drill and Blue Blood Cowboy (Mahoning Valley) 34 days ago when well held third in a maiden special weight; has strong claims.

Truth N Soul

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jeffrey Radosevich Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 532-

Comment: Has found improvement of late; fair effort in a maiden special weight (Belterra Park) in August; returns from a break here; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then must enter calculations.
