GOLDEN RULE HAVEN* lost all chance at the break in a fourth-place route finish at Turfway. He shows improved works at Oaklawn, and he receives a big break in the weights with an apprentice rider aboard. MOOSE GOT EVEN rallied from far back in a nonthreatening second-place finish at Churchill, and the experienced two-turn runner figures to have an honest or fast pace to run at. ARGUTO contested the pace in a close second-place finish at Parx, and he picks up a top rider for Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito.

MY BOY LOLLIPOP*** won an unusually fast maiden-claimer at Fair Grounds, and the Brad Cox trainee is spotted to repeat in a claiming race. GOOD JUDGMENT followed a decisive career debut victory with a stake-placed finish at Lone Star, and he sports good works from Houston. He figures stronger and faster as a 3-year-old. MAINFRAME JUDY is the only two-time winner in the field, and the Southern California shipper has winning connections.

HAMAZING WISDOM** is an unraced gelding showing 4 months of encouraging workouts, and trainer Danny Pish has a history of saddling debut winners. RADICATOR has been breezing 5 furlongs since September, and winning trainer Donnie Von Hemel skipped maiden races at Remington for the big state-bred purses at Oaklawn. IMPLICATOR is another first-timer with a win-early pedigree, and he sports good workouts and picks up top rider Ricardo Santana.

SPIROGYRA** cleared his nonwinners-of-two condition at Turfway after narrow losses at Churchill and Keeneland, and the consistent sprinter was claimed by a winning stable. DARREN'S FORTUNE is moving up a condition after a clear wire-to-wire win at Woodbine, and winning connections appear an overlay at morning-line odds. VIOLENT RIDGE has not raced in 14 months, and recent works don't show much. He has a clear talent advantage and likely wins if he returns ready.

ON TILT*** showed terrific early speed before tiring in the stretch in a wet-track debut at Churchill. He is dropping into a maiden-claimer and may jump to an easy lead. ITS MY BAG BABY was forwardly placed in a fourth-place maiden allowance race at Churchill. He recorded a bullet work here Jan. 10 and picks up a top veteran rider. AXIS is taking a slight jump in class on the heels of a second-place finish at Churchill, and he was claimed by high-percentage trainer Karl Broberg.

GETRIDOFWHATAILESU** finished with energy in strong maiden sprint races at Keeneland and Churchill, and the Brad Cox-trained filly is bred top-and-bottom to improve at two-turn distances. SUMMER STORM has been on the sidelines since May, but she raced last season at Oaklawn. She figures to be on or near the lead from start to finish. ITS COLD IN DEHERE raced close to the lead in a second-place sprint at Fair Grounds, and she has competitive Beyer figures and hails from a winning stable.

FULLY AWARE** is a first-timer with a speedy pedigree, and she has a series of good workouts for a trainer who wins at a high percentage with this kind. ALLEY MUSIC did not care for a wet track at Fair Grounds, but her previous start was a second-place debut at Churchill. A fast track may be all she needs to contend. ADDI is making her first start for 10-time leading trainer Steve Asmussen, who wins a strong percentage of maiden races at Oaklawn.

MARVIN** finished one position behind recent Smarty Jones winner Gold Street in a slightly troubled third-place debut at Keeneland. He has worked fast and often since a decisive maiden score at Hawthorne, and the expected contentious pace will work in his favor. ANCIENT WARRIOR set a strong pace and kept on going in a strong career debut victory at Del Mar. He sports swift works and appears the one to beat. LITTLE MENACE exits a 7-length maiden-allowance win at Churchill. He also shows good early speed and is a must-use in all gimmick wagers.

BLUSHING BELLA** has crossed the wire first in five of her past seven races while competing in starter allowance races, and she picks up a red-hot rider. SPUNKY TOWN closed her Remington campaign defeating $5,000 rivals by 5-widening lengths, and she did have a three-race winning streak last summer at Prairie. SHE'S TOO COOL easily defeated conditioned-claimers by 6 lengths at Remington, but she will face more early pressure at a sprint distance.
