Verdict: SHE'S A GAMER should be forgiven a modest latest run and the abundance of pace up front enhances her claims. Dancing On Our Own, As Advertised and Close Up are interesting.

She's A Gamer

Jockey: Edwin Gonzalez Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6-24

1/1

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth here over 6f (maiden special weight) 53 days ago; in first-time blinkers now; plenty of appeal as has bits and pieces of decent form.

Dancing On Our Own

Jockey: Joe Bravo Trainer: George Weaver Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 8

4/1

Comment: Not beaten too far (2½l) on her debut (at Gulfstream Park over 5f) at 16-1 47 days ago; likely to go well if confirming promise shown first time up.

As Advertised

Jockey: Edgard Zayas Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 3/8-6

9/2

Comment: Racing education begins here for this daughter of War Of Will; has had some encouraging workouts and one to be interested in.

Valiant Hope

Jockey: Paco Lopez Trainer: Jr Edward Plesa, Age/Wt: 3/8-6

9/1

Comment: Related to 1m winner So There; sire a speed influence; nicely bred (by Valiant Minister); worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise this early in her career.

Close Up

Jockey: Jorge Ruiz Trainer: J Sweezey Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-P02

9/1

Comment: Ran encouragingly when 1½l second in a maiden claimer dropped down to 5f three weeks ago; has a reasonable shout despite being up in class.

Veronika Z

Jockey: Edgar Perez Trainer: Ronald Coy Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 27-6

9/1

Comment: Comfortably beaten into sixth over 1m here (maiden special weight) two months ago; likely to be in contention despite defeat last time as ran well at Gulfstream Park three runs back.

Blushing Tiger

Jockey: Leonel Reyes Trainer: Matthew Williams Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 37-

33/1

Comment: Could not manage better than seventh in a maiden special weight upped to 1m½f in September; layoff to overcome; others appeal more as the headgear needs to prompt improvement.

Clea

Jockey: Jonathan Ocasio Trainer: Crafton DeSouza Age/Wt: 3/8-6

40/1

Comment: Shares a dam with Proud Mary, a 5½f winner; first public outing; this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals so easy enough to oppose.

Sara's Rose

Jockey: Miguel Vasquez Trainer: Victor Barboza Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6-7

Comment: Beaten just over 5l here over 5f (maiden special weight) when not far behind Brisa Veloz 46 days ago; others more appealing.

Brisa Veloz

Jockey: Micah Husbands Trainer: S Joseph Jr Age/Wt: 3/7-13 F: 0-86

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten just over 4l in sixth) when back to 5f (bumped at the start) 46 days ago in a maiden special weight; has a nice pedigree (by Munnings); others more appealing.
