DAY JO** raced close to an honest pace in an unusually fast maiden claiming race March 3, and he earned the co-highest Beyer figure in this field. LAST DIAMOND is adding blinkers after a one-paced career debut against better. TAP VALLEY has been forwardly placed and competitive in all three of his races, and he benefits from a winning trainer/rider team.

MITOLE'S LEGACY*** finished a clear second last July at Prairie Meadows, and she is working well for winning connections and figures stronger and faster as a 3-year-old. CATHOLIC SUE is dropping into a maiden claiming race for the first time, and she is cutting back to a preferred distance in her first race for winning trainer Karl Broberg. TORREY STREET was overmatched and has caught a muddy track in her first two races, and she has a license to show marked improvement with a class drop and a fast surface.

JUST LIKE MAGIC*** is taking a significant drop in class for powerful connections, and she is the speed drawn closest to the rail. AMAZING GAL won consecutive route races last summer at Indiana, and she is taking a drop in class after a sixth-place finish in a race she likely needed. LONGLEGGEDLAVERNE easily defeated $5,000 claimers at Houston, and the older mare has won 16 races in her career.

LOOK SHARP*** was a two-time second-place finisher last season at Lone Star, and the likely pacesetter had a less than ideal trip when fifth in his 2024 debut. PERSCRIPTURE made a belated rally to fifth in an encouraging first race, and he is likely to show more with an improved break from the gate. QUEBRANCHO has earned competitive Beyer figures, while competing at a higher level in his seven-race career.

KABOOM BABY**** is stretching out following three competitive sprint efforts against better, and she won a two-turn stake last season at Oaklawn. SULWE was likely best when narrowly defeated as a post-time favorite last month, and a similar effort may prove good enough. RIVERCREST GIRL had a modest two-race winning streak snapped when unable to race on Lasix in a sprint stake, but she is back on the bleeder medication and looms a late threat.

GREERS FERRY**** was beaten only a neck while nearly 10 lengths clear of the third-place finisher, and the improving 3-year-old keeps the leading rider. DELUCA broke a touch slow and encountered late trouble in a deceptively good fourth-place finish. GOLDEN DIVERSION has been forwardly placed in consecutive in-the-money finishes, and he may be sharp enough to move up and win.

MONEY IS TIME** finished with energy in a recent fourth-place finish, and the lightly-raced 4-year-old filly is dropping in class for new and Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen. GETOUTOFMYKITCHEN has finished in the money in two of her past three sprint races, and she may prove difficult to catch at today's route distance. BOOGIE ON has finished well in recent sprints, and she is having blinkers removed and may appreciate two turns.

ATTA PARTY** won 6 of 10 races in an impressive 2023 campaign, and he is dropping into a state-bred race following a third-place finish against open rivals on a muddy track. MAHOMEY is an Oaklawn horse-for-course who defeated a slightly better field in his last race, and he is a logical stalk-and-pounce threat. SHAKE UP was a clear winner only two races back, and his good form is clouded by recent disappointing races on a wet track.

MAXIMUS MAGIC** was a 10-length maiden winner in January, and the likely pacesetter exits a strong second-place finish against similar. BIG TO DO splashed his way to a clear front-running debut victory around two turns at Fair Grounds, and what he lacks in experience he may make up for with talent. COUNT DRACULA was beaten only a neck in an off-the-turf stake March 2 at Fair Grounds, and he is an experienced and improving route runner.
