Verdict

BEENTOSPAIN was unable to justify the heavy market support she attracted in a special weight contest at Delta, but the switch to claiming company could make a big difference. A similar case can be made for the returning Basboosa and the newcomer Noche De Versos is worth a market check.

Top Tip: Beentospain (4)

Verdict

HONEST DANDY showed up well for a long way on the main track in November only to get mugged late on. She can gain compensation back on turf, but it would be dangerous to overlook Carlientita and the debutant Love This Dance.

Verdict

ELUSIVE NEKO was mugged in the shadow of the post at Churchill in November and a drop to six furlongs looks a positive boost to her chances. The dropped-in-grade pair of Fearless Majesty and Joe Bailey are feared most.

Verdict

SAWSAN pulled three lengths clear of View From The Top when runner-up for the third successive time recently and deserves a change of luck. La Majestique has been expensive to follow in recent starts but shouldn't be written off just yet.

Verdict

GEAUX LION has been knocking on the door recently and might be able to go one better than his half-length second over this track and trip last time. Three Padres should run his usual honest race while Slew Of Halos cannot be ruled out either.

Verdict

TIZNOBLE wasn't beaten far in a cracking 1m contest at Gulfstream and he has a massive chance now dropped in both trip and class. Mr. N is likely to be on the premises again while Notimeforthat could outrun forecast double-figure odds.

Verdict

JUST BE STEPPIN left her debut performance well behind when a half-length second over this track and trip and, with further improvement on the cards, she could make it third time lucky. Maryblueeyes was marginally behind the selection in third last time and she looks to be the biggest danger again, while Twizzler also has place credentials.

Top Tip: Just Be Steppin (8)
Watch out for: Maryblueeyes (3)

Verdict

ZAPPERINI caught the eye when a fast-finishing second on his debut over 1m at Churchill and, likely to improve for this extra yardage, he gets the vote to go one better. There are plenty in the way of dangers, however, with No Distortion and Torrontes topping the list.

Top Tip: Zapperini (6)
Watch out for: No Distortion (5)

Verdict

LYNN'S VICTOR won pretty much as he liked over this track and trip last month and he could take some stopping if arriving in the same mood. Friends With Money and Yonaguska Storm are other respected players.
