SAVAGE DARLING**** has shown ability in both of her races on a fast track, while easily earning the field's fastest Beyer figures. MAMBA OUT lost a late lead when third-best at this classification March 23, and her speed puts her in position to win. HAYEK has battled for the lead before fading in consecutive route races, and she is cutting back in distance and dropping in class.

VALE** has been consistently competitive in three races at the meeting, and the two-time beaten favorite is poised to make amends. RUN SMITTY RUN has not raced since September, but he recorded second-place finishes at Churchill and Saratoga last fall. GO OTTO GO raced close to a fast pace in a competitive third-place finish, and he is the speed drawn closest to the rail.

FULL AUTHORITY*** easily defeated stronger $10,000 claimers in his most recent, and he was claimed by winning connections who have him spotted to repeat. RAYMOND was a clear front-running winner against similar just two races back, and he has a solid chance to repeat over a fast track. SMOKIN' HOT contested a fast route pace in a deceptively good fourth-place finish, and he was a determined sprint winner in his previous race.

THE HEIGHTS** was beaten less than a length in a return from a long vacation, and he is switching from an apprentice to a winning veteran rider. SAGITTARIUS ships from Fair Grounds on the heels of a second-place route effort at this same maiden classification. DARVESH was one-placed in his first route last month, but he drew an improved post and was claimed by a winning stable.

INTERLOCK EMPIRE***is dropping into a conditioned claiming race for the first time, and he appears to hold a clear class and talent advantage. GO CATS crossed the wire first at this condition March 29, but he was disqualified for interference at the top of the stretch. CALRISSIAN has been forwardly placed in three consecutive in-the-money finishes, and he looms a threat to win if he holds form for new connections.

YELL COUNTY*** was unable to hold off a late-running winner in a clear front-running second-place finish, and he received a confidence lift when the winner (Native Land) defeated a quality field Wednesday at Keeneland. CORPORAL was heavily bet in his debut at Fair Grounds, but he lost all chance at the break. The expensive son of Gun Runner deserves another shot. ELKO COUNTY is an experienced route runner from a hot stable and he drew a favorable post.

AUTO DIAL**** finished second in three main track sprints at Fair Grounds, and he is taking a significant drop in class and picks up the leading rider. WITHOUT OBJECTION was dropped to this level last month and responded with an improved second-place finish, and a pair of poor route races cloud his good sprint form. CORKED raced close to the pace before tiring in a fifth-place finish, but he is taking a big drop and should be a contender.

ETERNALLY GRATEFUL** has been narrowly defeated in four consecutive sprint races, and the sharp gelding has route ability and does his best racing with today's rider aboard. ALEXANDER HELIOS had wins last fall at Tampa and Churchill, and the front-runner colt deserves favoritism. MACKMAN forced a fast early pace and continued strong to the wire in a nearly five lengths maiden victory, and the lightly-raced and improving colt may be this good.

MOZINGO** is back on bleeder medication Lasix after losing a photo finish in the Downthedustyroad, and she keeps leading rider Cristian Torres. TIMBAVATI finished second behind a promising and speedy allowance winner, and continued improvement will make her a front-running threat. MUSIC MISTRESS has crossed the finish line second in consecutive races at this level, and an expected fast pace may set up her late run.

RED RIVER** has a series of quick breezes leading up to his career debut, and trainer Burl McBride is capable with first-time starters. TIME ANDBEYOND is a three-time in-the-money finisher who owns the fastest Beyer figures. GREAT BARRIER is taking a slight jump in class and he is adding blinkers after a strong second-place finish.
