CHAPEL BARN** moves into a starter after a clear front-running victory at Fair Grounds, and he was claimed by a top stable. CARL G was beaten a nose in a fast $10,000 claiming race, and the improving gelding is a big threat if he holds form for new connections. DR. FORMAN is a three-time winner at the meeting, and he is sharp enough to move up and contend.

APPRAISAL** has been racing competitively at a higher level this season, and he switches to a leading rider. THE FEATURE was forwardly placed while caught wide in a second-place finish at this classification last month. ROAD BIBLE has raced close to the lead in consecutive second-place finishes at this condition, and he was claimed by the leading trainer.

MIDNIGHT MISTRESS** showed good speed in a fifth-place debut against maiden allowance rivals, and the big class dropper is back sprinting after tiring badly in a two-turn effort. OUTLAW QUEEN has finished her debut preparations with three solid workouts, and trainer Chris Hartman gets his go-to rider. CHAOS MAGIC has been showing fast works up to her first race, and trainer Allen Milligan wins with this kind.

BROOKLYN DIAMONDS** broke a bit slow and rallied wide through the turn when running down a lone speed favorite in a winning debut. Moreover, he is bred to be a quality two-turn colt. HAPPY BOY ROCKET won a fast maiden allowance race in his only previous race on Lasix, and blinkers off is a high percentage angle for this stable. NINETIES COUNTRY was prominent throughout in a third-place two-turn debut, and he is an improving colt for top trainer Brad Cox.

AUX ACRES** chased a fast pace before weakening in the stretch when competing in a maiden allowance, and the lightly raced gelding is improving and may prove difficult to catch. KILGORE has raced competitively in all four of his sprint races this season, while competing at a higher claiming price. WARNING LABEL was beaten a diminishing neck in a tough-luck defeat, and the beaten post-time favorite can make amends from off the pace.

ISOLATE*** led past every pole in consecutive decisive victories at Fair Grounds, and his subsequent breezes have been powerful. SEVEN NATION ARMY is a four-time local winner who finished third in the recent King Cotton. NO SHIRT NO SHOES finished a solid fifth in the GIII Whitmore, and his ability to rate will suit him well.

I’M THE BOSS OF ME** has shown a high turn of early speed in consecutive sprint victories, and she appears to be the speed of the speed in this contentious race. WELL SPENT had to overcome a poor start in a powerful late-running allowance win, and the abundance of speed in the race will flatter her late run. SOUTHERN GRAYCE finished second behind a talented sprinter, and the steadily improving filly has the best of connections.

AWESOME SATURDAY*** has finished second in both of his route races at the meeting, while competing at a much higher level. STRIKE A BEAT is moving up a claiming condition following a clear late-running victory. ARRIVAL contested the pace in a strong second-place finish March 26, and he was claimed by a top stable and may improve.

SUPREMACY** showed big promise last spring in Kentucky, and he is slowly rounding back into form and is bred to improve at route distances. PATS PROPERTY is the probable pacesetter, and he owns competitive Beyer figures and will be carrying fewer pounds with an apprentice aboard. HUNKA BURNING LOVE is a classy veteran who has learned to rate and is a logical threat.

BEST ACTOR** has worked smartly up to his career debut for a stable that excels with first-timers going a distance of ground, and he may have found an ordinary field of rivals. LIFE ON THE NILE suffered a tough-luck defeat only two races back, and the experienced two-turn runner is the one to catch. BATTLE CALL was compromised by a wide trip in a deceptively good fifth-place finish, and he had a sharp subsequent breeze and will be wearing blinkers for the first time.

BOTANY*** has earned the fastest one-turn Beyer figures in the field, and he is dropping in class and will be wearing blinkers for the first time. JACKYS BACK has done his best running on a wet track, but he was a fast-closing third only two races back, and he gets in light with a winning apprentice in the irons. OBVIOUSLY TOO is dropping to the bottom of the local maiden claiming ranks following two troubled trips.
