Verdict: GUY NAMED JOE is a firm selection. He will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast. Hawker, Mighty Kai and The Shillelagh should also be in the hunt.

Mighty Kai

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Victor Garcia Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 6-8322

Comment: Admirably consistent; good effort when just over 3l runner-up last Thursday in a claimer; one to consider if building on last performance.

Standard Of Proof

Jockey: Tyler Baze Trainer: J Sweezey Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 83-767

Comment: Lightly raced for age but a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023); out of the frame when seventh at Churchill Downs 41 days ago on debut for this trainer in a claimer; in for a $25k tag so up in class ($16k last time); others more likely given many of his rivals are in good form.

Comment: Creditable effort in third (beaten 4½l) in a claimer 34 days ago (Los Alamitos Race Course) upped to this distance; sole victory becoming a distant memory; claiming value now rises to $25k.

Verdict: MISSTRIAL has an obvious shout. She will be worth noting if the subject of support in the betting, while Umbralle and Separator should also be on the premises.

1	Jasmine Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: P Eurton Age/Wt: 2/8-10	SP
Comment: Has busy trackwork profile; the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; anything this trainer sends out needs to be respected; one to be interested in with signs of encouragement in profile and the trainer is hot at the moment.
2	Grandma Mary Jockey: Ricardo Gonzalez Trainer: Mick Ruis Age/Wt: 2/8-10	SP
Comment: Related to 1m winner Mary's Boy Bolt; the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.
3	Umbralle Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: John Sadler Age/Wt: 2/8-10	SP
Comment: Trainer has a good record with newcomers here; newcomer by Into Mischief; sire's stock can be smart performers; could have a say.
4	Bourbon And Ginger Jockey: Mirco Demuro Trainer: R Mandella Age/Wt: 2/8-10	SP
Comment: Bred to get better as she gets older; attractively bred daughter of Bolt d'Oro; related to Grade 2 winner Life Talk; trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; might be one for another day; market may guide.
5	Roccabella Jockey: Assael Espinoza Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 2/8-10	SP
Comment: Breeding shows she may improve with time; attractively bred daughter of Ghostzapper; represents a stable with a strong record here with their newcomers; sire can inject some quality; overlooked unless the market says otherwise.
6	Misstrial Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: Bob Baffert Age/Wt: 2/8-10	SP
Comment: Course debutants from this yard always command respect; looks the part on breeding (by Constitution); should have every chance with signs of encouragement in profile and the current stable form is another tick.
7	Separator Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 2/8-10	SP
Comment: Yard has enjoyed debutant winners at this course; one to be interested in.
8	Golden Two Step Jockey: Edwin Maldonado Trainer: Doug O'Neill Age/Wt: 2/8-10	SP
Comment: Course debutants for this trainer should be taken seriously; breeding suggests she may get better with age; a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Oakley's Smile

Comment: Signs of improvement on last two runs; missed out by 1½l at Los Alamitos Race Course in December dropped back in distance in a maiden special weight; has had some time off; likely to be in contention as he has worked well and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Tiger Smiling

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Brian Koriner Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; related to Boss Sully, winning form over 5f-6½f; in with a shout as has recorded some interesting trackwork and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Jack Fish

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 2

Comment: Ran respectably on his debut over 6½f at Los Alamitos Race Course at 7-2 last month; form of the stable is a plus; every chance as shown signs of ability in his exercise.

Comment: Never landed a blow on his debut when fifth of eight over 6½f (wore blinkers) at Los Alamitos Race Course at 50-1 last month; sire does get winners on the turf; this represents a step up in class so must step up if he is to threaten here.

Comment: Ran well to finish third (beaten just under 2l) at Santa Anita over 6f (maiden special weight) dropped back in distance in October; not yet off the mark in four attempts although has finished second; returns from a layoff; most recent trackwork a positive and warrants respect.

Bankin On Jonathan

Jockey: Cristobal Herrera Trainer: Marcia Stortz Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Racing education begins here for this son of Fullbridled; sire gives plenty of encouragement for 5f; this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals so might be best to watch the betting.

Otto's Magic

Jockey: Ricardo Gonzalez Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: From the same family as Wishes To Riches, a winner over 6f; stable can ready one; Grazen gets winners on the turf.

Mom Says

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: O Jauregui Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; workout history suggests fitness may not be an issue; shares a dam with Cold Walker, a 7f winner; stable's record a potential plus.

Kiss For Lulu

Jockey: Edwin Maldonado Trainer: Val Brinkerhoff Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 32/56-

Comment: Winless in seven starts but has shown promise with second his top showing; couldn't land a blow when sixth of nine at Santa Anita upped to 1m last September in a maiden special weight; drops in trip.

Aligato

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: M Glatt Age/Wt: 8/8-9 F: 3316-4

Comment: Split a number of these rivals over 1m1f at Santa Anita (stakes) when fourth beaten 1½l in January; all his winning form has come at Santa Anita (three successes) but he can be competitive at this level; returning from a layoff here; must be high on list if replicating the best of his form.

Clouseau

Jockey: Kent Desormeaux Trainer: George Papaprodromou Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 1-1614

Comment: Wins-runs record of 7-24 but all his victories have been gained at a lower level; could not compete with Kings River Knight when fourth at Santa Anita over 1m (stakes, bumped at the start) in May; is passed over as this looks a fair heat.

Mr. Disrespectful

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: Martin Valenzuela Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 521312

Comment: Yet to win a race of this value but career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 3-11); behind Kings River Knight over 1m at Los Alamitos Race Course (stakes) when involved in the finish six weeks ago; needs to be respected.

Barely Funtional

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Antonio Garcia Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 1-63774

Comment: Fourth, not beaten that far (20-1) in a stakes when behind the reopposing Kings River Knight (Los Alamitos Race Course) six weeks ago; has never won a race of this value; hard to make a case for him given many of his rivals are in good form.

Kings River Knight

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: John Sadler Age/Wt: 7/8-13 F: 11-611

Comment: Got the job done in a stakes by just over 1l at Los Alamitos Race Course with Mr. Disrespectful and Barely Funtional behind six weeks ago; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; attempts to land a hat-trick; can make a decent bid.

Mystic Spirit

Jockey: Mike Smith Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 143-44

Comment: Finished fourth, beaten 9l, 48 days ago (Santa Anita) upped to 1m in an allowance optional claimer; has done all his winning at a lower level but a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-10; more on his plate but wouldn't rule out a big run.

Seismic Beauty

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: Bob Baffert Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 1-2311

Comment: Gained a 5l success over 1m1f at Santa Anita (Grade 2) in May; seeking a hat-trick today and has made an impressive start to her career with three wins from six starts; strong contender as her jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D and she can cope with this step up in class.

Mahina

Jockey: Mike Smith Trainer: P Gallagher Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 2-2442

Comment: Went close at 18-1 49 days ago at Santa Anita when back to 1m2f in a stakes; shown all winning form at Santa Anita (four successes) and all her victories have been gained at a lower level; others more appealing as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

Jockey: Kent Desormeaux Trainer: Ian Kruljac Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 0-17440

Comment: Been generally quiet since successful in a maiden special weight at Santa Anita six months ago; finished last of ten last month when dropped down to 6½f (Los Alamitos Race Course) in an allowance optional claimer; a lot on his plate here and is passed over.

Mining District

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: Doug O'Neill Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 454221

Comment: Came out on top by just over 3l over 6½f at Santa Anita (allowance optional claimer) 49 days ago; showed promise in workout last Saturday and should not be far away.

Uncle Chilly

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: M Puype Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 2-12055

Comment: Fair effort when beaten just under 4l, finishing fifth of 11 in an allowance race (Santa Anita) two months ago; his best form stacks up so should not be ruled out.

Chromeflash

Jockey: Jose Valdivia Jr Trainer: Paula Capestro Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 5-2330

Comment: In good form before making a backwards step last time out; has won previously at this course; not far behind Uncle Chilly when 11th at Santa Anita in April in an allowance race; makes limited appeal as has a lot on his plate here.

Miles Finch

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: John Sadler Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 23-331

Comment: Has found improvement of late; opened account at the fifth time of asking when winning by 1l (dropped back to 6f, bumped at the start) at Santa Anita two months ago in a maiden special weight; first attempt at a claimer; has to be feared.

Brazenly

Jockey: Geovanni Franco Trainer: Daniel Azcarate Age/Wt: 7/8-13 F: 222323

Comment: Generally consistent and useful in his prime; gave good account to finish third last month in an allowance optional claimer.
