Real Blues

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: William Martin Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 3-6622

9/4

Comment: Consistent performer and seems to be improving based on last two runs; ran well to finish runner-up (beaten just under 3l) in a maiden claimer when he had a couple of these behind three weeks ago; booking of Cristian Torres takes the eye; he should go close as lower claiming tag should make this easier and his latest effort was promising.

Comment: Was behind two of these rivals last month when sixth here in a claimer; in for a $12.5k tag so up in class ($10k last time); may have to settle for supporting role given this looks a decent race.

Comment: Had a bunch of these behind him when runner-up here two months ago in a claimer; much respected as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Comment: Not beaten that far in fifth (6l) at Keeneland last month upped to 7f in a claimer; moves down to an easier grade (in for $40k); capable if in the mood so should go well.

Comment: Admirably consistent and can be a player at this level; not far behind Devilish Desire when fifth in a claimer in February; Tyler Bacon booked; has to be considered as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and shown he can get his head in front.

10/1

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 7l) in a claimer two months ago; warrants respect if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and lower claiming tag suggests he may have less on his plate here.

Comment: Likes this combination of C&D; came up short when second favourite and beaten 7l last month (muddy track) in a maiden claimer; claiming tag rises from $12.5k last time; faces a tougher assignment this time so not one to rely on.

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; came good at the ninth time of asking three weeks ago in a maiden claimer (dropped to this trip) when a just under 3l winner on debut for this trainer; claiming value now rises to $40k; may find this tougher stepping up from maiden claiming level makes little appeal.

Verdict: MISCHIEVOUS GAL is the recommendation. She bids for a third C&D success and could see the likely strong pace tee things up nicely for her, while Gray Lightning, Titled Lady and Effortlesslyelgant could also have a role to play.

Comment: Finished last of eight last month in an allowance optional claimer; boasts winning form over C&D; may have to settle for supporting role as this is a tougher test.

9/2

Comment: Won by 4l in an allowance optional claimer (muddy track, Lone Star Park) last month; has chalked up five wins from her last seven; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; respected; may be sharper for the run last time and she can cope with this step up in class.
