Verdict: COWGIRL DREAM is expected to get the job done. She finished ahead of R S American Tide and Moon Crater when last seen and ran with credit last time.

Courtinbymoonlight

Jockey: Freddy Manrrique Trainer: Austin Gustafson Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Trainer can ready one; first competitive racecourse experience; this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals so the betting may be the best guide.

Moon Crater

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Dick Cappellucci Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 63256

Comment: Five-race maiden though does have a second place to her name; not disgraced when sixth (sloppy track) last month in a maiden special weight; in first-time blinkers; has been on the scene in the recent past and prospects.

Cowgirl Dream

Jockey: Elvin Gonzalez Trainer: Eduardo Cruz Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 40452

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; ran well to finish second (beaten just over 4l) over 6f here (maiden special weight, sloppy track, had R S American Tide and Moon Crater behind) last month; assuming she steps up from most recent effort then possesses leading claims.

R S American Tide

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Nicole Ruggeri Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 45

Comment: Not beaten that far in fifth (8l) in a maiden special weight when splitting two of these (sloppy track) two weeks ago; nicely bred (by American Code); lightly raced (this just her third race).

Verdict: Firm preference is for JACKMAN'S RIDE. He has winning C&D form to his name and can confirm superiority with Optimal Courage, Twentyone N Change and Available Star who were behind him when last seen.

Optimal Courage

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: Miguel Silva Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 5-332

Comment: Gave good account to finish runner-up in an allowance optional claimer at Sam Houston (sloppy track) behind Jackman's Ride 37 days ago; running consistently and admirable career strike-rate (20 from 52 to date); if he is able to build on his most recent effort then likely to be involved.

Coinmaker

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Alejandro Baldillez Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 363437

Comment: Although below par last time out, is better than that judged on previous efforts but may have reached limits of her ability; not far behind Mola Mia when seventh two weeks ago (broke slowly at the start) in a claimer; up in class (in for $7.5k here, $5k tag last time); may have to settle for supporting role.

Verdict: CREATIVE MINISTER is a firm choice. He likes to stalk the early speed and met trouble in running when fourth most recently. Ocelot is another for the shortlist.

Carlea's Dream

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Karen Jacks Age/Wt: 8/8-9 F: 4-361

Comment: First success for some time when in front by just under 2l two weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; a C&D winner; easy enough to take on despite that win last time.

Ocelot

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Tristan Ashford Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 6-271

Comment: Got the job done in an optional claimer by a short head at Sam Houston dropped down to 1m½f three months ago; on target twice in his last six outings; suited by this C&D; hard to dismiss despite being up in class and has won after a similar break previously.

Creative Minister

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Abel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 3-3014

Comment: Respectable effort last week (Oaklawn Park) on his debut for this trainer in an allowance optional claimer; has won three of 25 career starts; strong claims as jockey does well from inner gates here.

Illustrator

Jockey: Elvin Gonzalez Trainer: H Ashford Jr Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 241-23

Comment: Boasts winning form over C&D; has maintained his consistent level of form; fair effort over 1m½f at Sam Houston (allowance optional claimer) in March (had two of these rivals behind); likely to be in contention.

Comment: Accounted for Sunlit Song and Mor Victory at Sam Houston over 1m1f (stakes) when a just under 3l winner 43 days ago; a C&D winner; out to complete a hat-trick; dropping in class now and deserves respect.

Pico D'oro

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Cesar Govea Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 39351

Sunlit Song

Comment: Has been fairly consistent this year and goes very well here with four C&D wins to his name; behind Regal Terka over 1m1f at Sam Houston (stakes) 43 days ago; he can make a bold bid now dropping in class.

Prowling Tiger

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Cesar Govea Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 7-28652

Comment: Has achieved three wins from 13 career runs; fair runner-up of six in an optional claimer (sloppy track) two weeks ago; latest form figure is not as flattering as it may appear so can be taken on.

Race Predictor

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: SECURED has an obvious shout. She has got a win to her name and the likely strong pace up front is a plus, while Just A Sip, Peak Earnings and Channel Launch could run well too.

Flash Master

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: Jerry Gourneau Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 1-4967

Comment: Found life tough when 13l back in seventh last Friday in an allowance optional claimer; claiming tag drops to $25k (from $50k); ought to be competitive if duplicating the form of her most recent win.

Comment: Gained a first success at the fourth time of asking at Sunland Park over 6f (maiden special weight) when scoring with a bit in hand last month; runs in claiming company for the first time; is a player.

Overcast

Jockey: Elvin Gonzalez Trainer: Francisco Bravo Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 246-57

Comment: Beaten 13l into seventh at Delta Downs in February in an allowance race; can be a player at this level but low strike-rate of 1-12; tried over an additional 1f now; tries turf for the first time.

Peak Earnings

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Robertino Diodoro Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 6-68

Comment: Been out of sorts of late; missed the frame (beaten 6l into eighth) at Fair Grounds over 1m (claimer) two months ago; lower claiming tag should make this easier and definite chance.

Hakuhia

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Samuel Calvario Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 422-21

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; opened account at the seventh attempt over 5½f at Santa Anita (maiden claimer) when winning by 6l 51 days ago; in for a $25k tag so up in class ($8k last time); has to prove this longer trip is what she wants and is passed over.

Just A Sip

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: H Ashford Jr Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 3-5

Comment: This just her fifth race; this C&D holds no fears; last of five at Sam Houston over 5½f (allowance race) four weeks ago; should be thereabouts if in the same form she showed when winning three starts back.

Utsira

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Ronnie Cravens Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 2-26332

Comment: Not beaten far when second at Sam Houston last month in an allowance race; knocking at the door recently; been a while since she managed only win; Ernesto Valdez-Jiminez a notable jockey booking; record demonstrates how she often finds at least one too good so one to tread carefully with.

Ok By Me

Jockey: Mario Fuentes Trainer: Robert Werneth Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6-1667

She's A Gold Lady

Jockey: Richard Eramia Trainer: Terry Eoff Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 27-5

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten just over 5l into fifth) at Sam Houston over 5f (claimer) dropped back in distance 51 days ago; others appeal more with several rivals in good nick.

Real Mischievous

Jockey: Ernesto Valdez Jiminez Trainer: Ronnie Cravens Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5-631

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; off the mark at the fifth time of asking upped to 1m 35 days ago (Sam Houston) when springing 13-1 surprise in a maiden claimer; tag unaltered from last time ($25k).

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Mindy Willis Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 72-441

Comment: Improved form the last twice; shed maiden status at the eighth time of asking when winning by just under 5l five weeks ago at Sam Houston in a maiden claimer; higher claiming tag here so up in class.
